Amsterdam Coffee Shops

In the Netherlands, a "coffeeshop" refers to a licensed establishment permitted to sell small quantities of cannabis for personal use. Amsterdam accounts for about 160 coffee shops, and most of them are situated in the Red Light District. These shops are places where soft drugs such as marijuana, hashish, and cannabis are sold and consumed. However, these establishments operate under strict regulations, including prohibitions on advertising and limits on the amount sold per transaction.

However, these coffee shops are prohibited from selling alcohol, hard drugs, or any other kind of drugs. The coffee shops in Amsterdam have a wide variety to choose from in their menus. Along with licensed cannabis, one can even have food here. Since the sale and consumption of cannabis is legal, one can be assured of good quality of cannabis. Also another important aspect is that most of the coffee shops accept only cash. Tourists are allowed to visit coffee shops, but if, for some reason, they are not aware of which soft drugs to choose from, then there are experts in these coffee shops who can assist them.
