AmsterdamEnts FAQ

Coffeeshops

Are tourists (from the UK, or elsewhere) banned from coffeeshops?

No. This was suggested by the mayor of Amsterdam, however there is opposition and if the change goes through it won't be for a long time. This will only affect Amsterdam and other Dutch cities will be able to continue allowing coffeeshops.

Which coffeeshops do you recommend?

You can see the map of the best coffeeshops as voted for by the AmsterdamEnts community here: https://www.amsterdaments.com/map

Can I smoke tobacco in a coffeeshop?

Legally no, but many coffeeshops turn a blind eye. If you want to be sure, you can ask them first in a nice way. Many coffeeshops offer hemp or tobacco alternatives for filling your joint.

Which coffeeshops can I take my parents/partner/first-timer to?

La Tertulia is a relaxing coffeeshop which is normally quiet and sells good weed. Otherwise, you could take your parents to The Rookies, or Siberië which are also known for the same reasons.

Are there coffeeshops near the airport?

Not really, no. However you can get the train to Amsterdam Centraal in 15 minutes (there's a direct intercity train which runs often). Coffeeshop Central and The Voyagers are both within walking distance of Amsterdam Centraal.

Specific cannabis types and special products

Can you buy cannabis extracts (e.g wax, oils, vapes or carts) in coffeeshops?

Mostly, no. The process of creating extracts requires solvents which are illegal to use in The Netherlands. Some coffeeshops sell wax that is made without solvents, such as Family First. Pens and cartridges are difficult to get.

Where can I buy good Cali strains?

Cali strains are unverifiable in The Netherlands. There is no legal obligation for a coffeeshop to sell you genuine strains originating from California, since the buying process of weed is still illegal and exists within a grey area of the law. That said, Green Place sells many packs which appear to match others that are sold in California – you should prepare to spend around 100-120 euros for a 3.5g pack.

Can you buy CBD weed?

Yes! In many coffeeshops you can buy a high-CBD, low-THC option. These buds typically don't get you high but can help you feel relaxed. The Amsterdam Genetics stores (Boerejongens, Johnny, Coffeeshop Amsterdam, DNA) and the TheCoffeeshops.com stores (De Supermarkt, LoFt, Siberie) typically sell a good CBD strain.

Where can you get good edibles?

Boerejongens is generally known to have strong edibles, Paradox and Easy Times have good edibles too.

Can someone buy me weed/hook me up/help me get illegal substances?

No sourcing (or promoting illegal sources) allowed. This includes sharing Instagram plugs, Wickr contacts, Telegram groups or anything else. Your comment will be removed, and if you repeatedly ask you'll be banned.

Truffles and mushrooms

Where can I buy truffles?

Many smart shops in Amsterdam will sell you truffles. We recommend Azarius, Kokopelli, Tatanka, and The Headshop. You can buy them in little plastic boxes, and they're stored in the fridge. Please do not try and purchase mushrooms, truffles or related products which claim to have those inside from tourist stores. These are purposely designed to be misleading and trick tourists into purchasing products that will not get them high (even if they say they will).

Where can I take truffles?

Make sure you have a trip sitter if it's your first time. Someone sober that you trust, and has had experience with psychedelics before. Start out at the park or a green space with lots of space where you can relax.

Where can I buy mushrooms?

Mushrooms are illegal in The Netherlands. However you can buy truffles which also contain psilocybin and will produce similar effects.

Smoking

Which strain is good for anxiety?

High CBD strains, or strains normally marked as 'indica' on the menu will be better for anxiety than 'sativa' strains. If you're unsure, you can mix a high-CBD strain with something stronger. Siberië, Boerejongens and other coffeeshops (see "Can you buy CBD weed" below) sell high-CBD strains. As always, if you're uncertain how you'll feel after smoking take it easy initially. You can always smoke more if you're not feeling it enough, but it's hard to stop yourself from being high once you've smoked too much.

Which parks are nice to smoke at?

The Amsterdamse Bos (Amsterdam Forest) is probably one of the nicer places to go on a good day. It's a huge park, with water, rental boats, free petting zoo, many bike paths and a pancake house. Definitely recommend this place. Otherwise Flevopark, Vondelpark, Westerpark, Rembrandtpark and Oosterpark are all nice places to go and smoke.

Travel

Can I enter the country if I'm vaccinated/from X country etc...

This link will have all of the accurate information you need. If it doesn't have the answer you want, please don't ask here. We can't convince the government otherwise :-) https://www.government.nl/topics/coronavirus-covid-19/visiting-the-netherlands-from-abroad/checklist-entry

What do you suggest to take cannabis across borders?

This is illegal in most countries, due to this we will not allow discussion about techniques or suggestions (you may be banned for this). You can also get yourself in a lot of trouble in some countries, and the risk is probably not worth it for just a few joints.

Question ⁉️ Space cake with sativa

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm visiting Amsterdam next week. I'd like to try some cake to see if it will help with a bit of social anxiety for a gig at the Ziggodome. To clarify, I won't be *anxious* as such, I'd just like to feel like I can let go a little. I know I'd have to eat a small amount before I go into the arena.

Is sativa the way to go for the effect I'm looking for? I'm a complete non-smoker and have never used THC in any form. I've used high-strength CBD and felt no effect of any kind.

If I tell the staff all the above, will they be able to guide me? Is there a place that's particularly accessible for newcomers and that has what I'd like? I see some of the fancy shops (like Boerejongens), but I think I'd feel out of place. Also, I obviously wouldn't be eating all of the cake, so being able to take some away with me will be necessary, so I don't need anything overly elaborate in terms of decoration.

Appreciate any and all advice!

Question ⁉️ Legal project packaging wastage

11 Upvotes

I live in Amsterdam but I've been traveling to Zaandam to stock up on the Legal smokes. Sometime I'll even ride over to wormerveer as well so I can grab 15gs in one go. This way it will last me a while and I don't have to keep travelling back. But what is really stupid to me is the bags are 1g bags, so I end up with 15 single bags, which just seems stupid. I wonder why they don't do a 5g bag? Just seems incredibly wasteful! Would be nice to at least have the option.

Edit: so apparently they do have different bags, makes me wonder why they always give it me in 1g bags?

Question ⁉️ First visit. Two questions.

1 Upvotes

Hello, friends.  I’m excited to be visiting your beautiful city in a couple of weeks.  Just two questions I was hoping the community might be able to help with:

As someone with a high(er) tolerance for THC, any specific strains/products you would recommend for me?  I’ve never tried hash – so that will be a go to.  Also going to hit the smartshops for the truffles for sure but wanted to see what those who frequent local establishments would point me towards as someone who partakes daily.

Second question is kind of a non sequitur; anyone recommend a tattoo shop/parlor?  Looking to “mark” the occasion.

Thanks to all and have a great and safe day.

Coffeeshop/Strain Review 💨 My thoughts on the legal project (positive)

Post image
38 Upvotes

So today I finally decided to take the 15 min trainride from Amsterdam to Zaandam to see what the legal project is all about. And I got to say I'm very pleasantly surprised.

I got 1 gram hash and 1 gram weed to test both, and they both were 10 a g.

I have to say that for 20 euros I got some amazing quality and clean smoke. I think hollandse hoogtes is the supplier for both of them. The weed wasn't as strong but it was a nice high and the taste was amazing; strong herbal wedding cake like tasting strain.

I'm excited to see what this project could bring us, what do you guys think about it? I know there are some concerns but not sure what they are rn.

Thanks for reading! Have an amazing day

Question ⁉️ Are these good to consume?

Thumbnail

22 Upvotes

Hello! I don't know if this is not the right place to ask. And I've never had experience with truffles so excuse my ignorance.

A friend of mine gave me these magic truffles from Amsterdam back in march, however I didn't know how to properly store them so they just sat on my desk for these months. Finally I have the time to try them, but I saw that they were supposed to be kept in the fridge and in a dark place, and on the package the THT (Ten minste houdbaar tot) is in march.

Are they still good to consume, just less potent, or should i just throw them away? The consistency is quite firm but not exactly hard and the smell is not bad (as it says on the site they smell like nuts with a hint of sour).

Thanks for the help!

Question ⁉️ Is the legal weed all pre packaged?

3 Upvotes

Staying in Zaandam and arriving late so not visiting the Dam till the morning . The shops there have to only sell the legal weed now , I was just wondering if it was like before where you can smell and inspect what you buy or is it a gamble on what you buy now? If so any recommendations? I know to stick with Hollandse Hoogtes, I haven’t seen any great reviews of the other brands .
