I've been to Amsterdam 20 + times in the last 10 years and rarely see any Police on the streets. Most of the trouble there is caused by drunks not pot heads.
Try Rotterdam crime seems a bit more prevalent there and a lot of it involves the folk I'm not supposed to mention. I understand from friend's over there that there is still plenty of drug related crime but the perpetrators thed to be ordered to keep out of the cities.
