Fodor's Review:
One would think that more effort could have gone into the name of this institution – lateral thinking being one of the positive effects of its subject. But regardless, here's your chance to suck back the 8,000-year history of hemp use. The use of pot as medicine was first recorded in the Netherlands in 1554 as a cure for earaches. By this time, its less potent form, hemp, had long been used – as it would until the late 19th century – as the fiber source for rope. It was fundamental to the economics of this seafaring town. Predictably, there's also an endless collection of bongs from around the world.
