Cannabiscafés:
There

75 or more are bar/coffeeshops known as cannabiscafés.
This
reality hits you when you are finally here. We want you
to have as much fun as we have in Amsterdam... we tell you
which are worh a visit and the "popular places"
that should be avoided.
Shops
are reviewed when we get a request to do so from a visitor
such as you or from a shop directel. We do love our work!...
Amsterdam-Coffeeshop
basics:
Amsterdam's
progressive policy of the legal availability of high quality
weed and hash is common knowledge.
If it's your first time in a Dutch cannabis Coffeeshop don't
be shy just ask for a menu which will include a variety of
cannabis buds and hash, ranging in quality from OK to incredible.
Feel free to ask questions, the staff are typically quite
friendly. You may also want to ask if they have a pipe or
bong to use. Rolling papers and filter tips are available
as well.
The average price of a small bag runs approximately seven
$ US. For you Americans that have no idea what a gram is,
a "dime bag" is typically about half a gram.
Yes! The stuff is good, legal AND CHEAP TOO! Some places offer
pre-rolled joints of pure grass or grass and hash joints mixed
with tobacco.
You are allowed to bring grass from one Coffeeshop to another,
just be sure to purchase something to drink. Smoking outside
in public is generally O.K. just don't be blatant about it.
Some Coffeeshops used to offer space-cakes. These are cookies
or brownies with hash or bud in them. Most have slopped this
unfortunately. The government has stopped them because of
the imprecise and inconsistent THC content of cake found at
some careless shops.
Most of the better shops did a great job and may even tell
you the secret to an even distribution of the hash in the
cake.
New rules have been set up to "Control" the contents
of space cakes and other baked cannabis products. Ask your
favorite shop I they are participating.
If you would like my mothers SPECIAL recipe, E-write me and
make shore that "hash pound cake recipe" is in the
subject line.
If you try your own style be patient, and don't go crazy,
give it time to work. Some hash can pack quite a punch but
it may not really hit you for an hour or two.

"Korte-leidsedwarsstraat"
145-147 Amsterdam, tel. +31 (0)20-639-0978
In
the middle of Amsterdam's popular entertainment area
and
close to "Leidseplein"
In
this pulsing quarter of popular cinema's, restaurants and
pubs, "The Rookies" is a friendly place to have
a drink, a chat, while having a more engaging coffeshop experience
with a pooltable, table games, and Computer games.
The
fun loving owners designed the furniture and interior themselves
and were inspired by art deco.
The
music is played loud enough to enjoy and soft enough to hear
the one you are talking to. It is a friendly Coffeeshop with
a relaxed atmosphere and with clean air, where people can
feel at home.
The
assortment of drinks is extensive. As well as a great selection
of some of the highest quality Dutch weed and hash!
"Rookies
special" is our favorite choice this month.
"Rookies
is sort of like a "Cheers" bar that sells hash and
grass... but set in a train station.... for you Americans"
Visitors
include a mix of students, local people, and tourists of all
ages from all Earth's country's. ...We suspect some inter-planatery
visitors have been through here as well.
"One
of the best things about The Rookies is the always interesting
and talented staff "

the NOON
New
York Linnaeusstraat 83. Trams 3, 6, 9, 14. A bit outside
of Central, but a nice local Coffeeshop. They often get in
the White Russian . One of my personally favorite smokes.
A large outside sitting area is in the sun most of the day
and the shop is right near ooster park and the Tropin Museum.
de Dampkring Handboogstraat 29, 638-0705. This is a
nice comfortable place! The decor is Central Asian and the
walls and outside of the building are covered with intricate
Sufi paintings which have little jewels glued into them, there
are pictures of Hindu gods and Afghan treasures and a great
sculpted tree. Music includes blues, reggae, rock, salsa,
and soul The word has gotten out about the wonderful environment
in this shop and lots of fortunate visitors are finding their
way to this pretty, friendly shop. The owners and staff know
their hashish and they are also serious about weed. They have
a good balance between high-quality hashish from around the
world and a delicious, reasonably priced selection of Dutch
and imported grass.
De
Rokerij Lange Leidsedwarstraat 41, This coffeeshop is
close by the Leidseplein and has a real nice groove. They
have lots of seats in this coffeeshop that is much bigger
than it appears from outside. The drink prices are reasonable
for the Leidseplein area and the bud selection is pretty nice.
A nice comfortable atmosphere here.
Dutch Flowers Singel 387,tel. 624-7624 This shop is
located near the city center on the Singel canal. The lighting
is subdued, yet it is quite bright and cheerful on sunny days.
There are lots of windows and some interesting art on the
walls. We've found that the staff isn't usually very helpful
or friendly, but the bright atmosphere of the shop still makes
it pleasant to hang out.
Coffeeshop Smokey Rembrantplein. Though this coffeeshop
has very expensive drinks , it has a large bar, several pool
tables, and a decent bud selection.
Global Chillage Kerkstraat 51,tel. 639-1154 Popular
but I cant figure why. The seats are hard and uncomfortable,
the weed is sold in glassine bags, which is unique, but not
acceptable, and the staff are not particularly friendly or
helpful..............................It must be the sex shop
next door that fills the place up...it can't be the weed.
Abraxas This shop is located off of Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal
in between Dam and Spui. This coffeeshop is expanding rapidly
to be one of the larger coffeeshops in the city. Currently
they have a nice selection of some of the most popular buds
in Amsterdam. We hope they don't get to big!
A
NICE PLACE, and although a little hard to find, it is well
worth the effort
Grasshopper Oudebrugsteeg 16. Is the most obvious Coffeeshop
in front of Central Station; gets a lot of unknowing vulnerable
tourists. Very big, three-leveled Coffeeshop with full bar.
Low lighting and interesting stuff to look at can't make up
for the high drink prices and substandard buds. a major blight
on the coffeeshop scene!
Grasshopper Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal (across the road
from Bob's Youth Hostel) is the original Grasshopper and is
not much better than its new huge branch previously mentioned
Greenhouse Tolstraat 4 The most notable thing about
the Green House are the many awards they have won over the
last three years, all of which are proudly displayed near
the entrance. This shop has a cozy decor and a cannabis-knowledgable
clientele that expects the best and gets it here. There are
pool tournaments played on the two tables upstairs. Full bar,
as well as juice and sodas. The staff is friendly,helpful
and well informed.
Greenhouse
"Namaste" Waterlooplein 345, tel. 622-5477 This
new version of the original Green House is smaller and closer
to the city center. Namaste is a greeting in India. It doesn't
really translate well but it means have a healthy, happy,
spiritual day.The mosiacs inside are interesting and well
done. They sell the finest of weed and get over the top money
for it.
Greenhouse
III just off the corner of Damstraat and Oudezijds Voorburgwal,
this is the third edition of the Greenhouse in Amsterdam.
This one is very creatively and artistically decorated. A
real site to see. They have similar varieties of buds in all
their shops: a steady variety of really nice but generally
high-priced buds. No matter the price you pay though, you'll
be happy with the quality taste and buzz. Although prices
are still higher than the locals want to pay
Greenhouse Effect On the Warmoesstraat This place is
to be avoided like the Plague as our research revealed that
other local residents, besides ourselves, have had equally
bad and expensive experience.
Anytime New, and centrally located, the Coffeeshop
Anytime is easy to find. Located just off of the Spuistraat,
towards Central Station, behind the Palace ,at Korte Kolksteeg
#5. tel. 020-420-8698...
(Formerly:
Lucky Mothers) Keizersgracht 665 Close to Rembrandtplein.Here
you will find a really cozy downstairs area. Marble tables
and quartz crystals create a hippy atmosphere Lucky Mothers
has a vaporizer and an assortment of Graffix bongs to borrow,
as well as a new chill-out cellar, a room designed to feel
like the inside of a genie bottle. a nice place and nice people
to serve you!
Grey Area Oude Leliestraat 2, 420-4301 This shop is
located a three-minute walk west of Dam Square, on a narrow
lane near the Singel canal. Good music and large picture window
overlooking the sidewalk. They provide special Nederhashes
and a some imported hashish. "Forget the coffee have
some tea"...if you can find a seat, "smoke out"
with the stoner owners!
Blue
Bird Sint Antoniesbreestraat 71,tel. 622-5232Founded in
1982, this shop is close to Waterlooplein and Nieuwmarkt.
It has two fairly small levels. The top level has some comfortable
chairs and the coffeeshop. The cannabis menu truly encompasses
the world. There are more sorts of imported grass than you'll
usually see in any other place and a wide variety of hashish,
although they specialize in black hash and Moroccan. There
is also an excellent variety of bio-weeds. Blue Bird won the
Hashish Cup in 1995 with their Nepali Temple Balls. You can't
smoke on the patio outside and they are very rude telling
you about it.! buy your choice and go have more fun in the
park!
Homegrown Fantasy Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 87a. Nice
Coffeeshop, brightest place near the Dam, but seats fill up
quickly! Recently. their bud selection has really picked up
and their varieties are very nice quality. They also sell
seeds.
The Otherside This Coffeeshop is on a side street off
Leidsestraat just past Koningsplein, right across from Albert
Heijn. It's a fairly quiet simple place with some interesting,
not seen before selections, plus some common buds. It's a
nice place to stop for tea or a coffee.
Picasso Haarlemstraat 6, This small, cozy, shop is
located near Central Station.The shop serves all the standard
munches, sodas, juice, coffee, and tea. A wide assortment
of cannabis and hashish is available. I love the bright halogen
light on the second floor's cannabis bar, which gives you
an excellent light to examine the weed. A comfortable place
to relax.
Sensi's Museum Coffeeshop Oude Doelenstraat 20 tel.
623-5267 Right around the corner from the Sensi Museum. Not
particularly spectacular, but a good place to stop for a smoke
after seeing the Museum. They only sell seeds so bring your
own weed and hash.
Bulldog the original Bulldog Coffeeshop is one of the
oldest in Amsterdam, 13-17 Leidseplein, Mostly a tourist rip
off... They have a pretty poor selection here, but plenty
of outdoor seats. Watch out for the main floor Bulldog, they'll
rip you off at every turn, The downstairs Coffeeshop on the
right side of the building is better but not by much. Several
"branch offices" have been opened at Korte Leidsedwarsstraat
45 and at several locations on Oudezijds Voorburgwal.
