    Coffeeshops sell coffee but they also sell green gold. Yes folks, marijuana is for sale in the coffeeshops with the green and white sticker in the window. Dutch tolerance is a wonderful thing.

    Don't overdo it and become a silly tourist knocking the locals off their bikes.

    As you may or may not know, marijuana and hashish are legal substances in Holland and have been so for several years. Coffee shops are licensed and taxed. Pot is sold in licensed shops called coffee shops. There are approximately 500 or so in Amsterdam and many others throughout the country. Coffee shops serve good coffee made right in front of you, but don’t confuse them with cafes. ☺

    People usually go right up to the counter where pot is sold and take a look at the “menu”. Categories range from hash, black from Afghanistan or Nepal or blonde from Morocco and Lebanon, Marijuana of both Indica and Sativa varieties grown indoors and outdoors and of course brownies and space cakes, usually containing 2 grams of the substance can also be found. Seeds can also be purchased at many coffeehouses for ten to twenty Euro per seed.

    Coffee shops usually have an eclectic blend of lounge music or rock. People sit around making long joints (they usually mix tobacco with their hash or pot). People are very pleasant. Nobody forces you to make conversation if you don’t feel like it. The environments are quite pleasant and conducive. You will see people from all over the world coming and going.

    Ok, here's a list of the kind of Coffee Shops and whats available.

    ☼coffee shops
    (cannabis, hashish, marijuana)
    ☼smart shops
    (mushrooms and smart drugs)
    ☼grow shops
    (cannabis seeds)
    ☼head shops
    (pipes and paraphernalia)

    WARNING:* Attempting to smuggle drugs out of Holland is a criminal offence, no matter how insignificant the amount. It's no good arguing that you were bringing some home as a 'keepsake', the customs officer will be snapping on the glove in no time.

    Cannabis/Marijuana/Grass/Hash... the nicknames go on.

    Found all over the city, they apparently are legal by law. I'm sure you already knew that, but this is to fill up my writing space *grin*

    So, I ventured into most of these places to just check out what's inside. To my supprise, these guys cultivate the cannabis plant, use them for medicinal values and so on besides getting high on it. Amazing eh? I learnt more stuff in a day than the last 10 years of *knowing* about it. :)

    ☺ ☺

    You can't go to Amsterdam without visiting the world famous coffee shops. Just beware. You might miss a lot of things if you hang out in them too much. I didn't get a lot of pictures taken in Amsterdam because I wasn't exactly in the right state of mind to be handling such high tech equipment.

    by barryg23
    Coffee-shops are everywhere and cater for all: for the serious smoker there is a menu with big choice of smokes, while for the curious (like us) they provide the pre-rolled stuff. I did notice that the quality varies depending on where you go. We smoked in a different place each night and the best place was a quiet, dark place in the red-light district (where even the fumes would get you going), while the stuff we smoked at the big touristy place on Rembrandtplein had little effect.
