wiet (weed). hash is hasj
( “d” and “t” sounds are the same in NL but different in English, so “het bed” (the bed) rhymes_
blowen seems to be more often used a verb for smoking as in
(this was from some drugs help site)
‘Ik begon te blowen toen ik 17 jaar was. Nu ben ik 35 en merk dat ik niet meer zonder wiet kan. Ik blow elke dag zo’n 4 of 5 joints. Sinds ik dagelijks blow, kan ik me steeds slechter concentreren en kom ik tot niets meer
I began to smoke when I was 17. now I am 35 and find that I can do nothing without weed. I smoke each day around 4 or 5 joints. Since I smoke daily. my concentration is way worse and I have come to nothing (think he means that he has not achieved anything in life).
And if I smoked that much weed every day (especially from NL) I would probably have not done much either!
The word for drugs in Dutch is “drugs” 😉 and its originally a Dutch word – came from old Dutch droge vate (a vat (barrel)) containing dried goods or herbs (often used in medicines), which were purchased from foreign countries in such barrels and the abbreviation for this on shipping bills got turned into the modern word.
In Dutch “softdrugs” (no space between the two words) are what in UK are usually class B and below, “harddrugs” are class A.
