I've been to Amsterdam 6 times over the past 10 years and every time it gets harder to find a coffee shop. Pubs galore, obviously.
- bogomipz 10y agoI was there recently. In the Canal District they looked very abundant still.
- kristofferR 10y agoI was there a few days ago and it wasn't hard to find the coffeshops, but it's was often really hard to find available seating. Thankfully quite a lot of pubs that sell alcohol (but not weed) allow/encourage people to bring and smoke their own joints (as long as they don't contain tobacco, which is banned).
- yellow_viper 10y agoThe tobacco thing is only really enforced if you ask them if it's allowed. We roll with tobacco and at the most they'll come ask you to hide your fag packet/filters in case the police come in.
- cr1895 10y agoAnd the weirdest thing is that the prerolled joints are 95% of the time rolled with (a lot of) tobacco. And those are perfectly fine to sell and smoke in the coffeeshop!
- yellow_viper 10y agoAre they? I've only ever seen them mixed with that incense stuff.
- cr1895 10y agoHuh, not as far as I know. There certainly are a lot that are sold with tobacco. Maybe it depends on whether or not the coffeeshop has an isolated smoking room, which means they could have tobacco inside.
- cr1895 10y agoThere are some bars that encourage weed smoking, often those that were once a coffeeshop themselves but lost their license (Hill Street Blues, for example). The vast majority of bars in the city however would be quite upset with it and do forbid it.
