No, I have never been to Amsterdam. I am aware of the shrinking in the number of coffee shops. This is mainly because of international pressure: they are hardening the rules for the coffee shops, trying to limit tourist's access to them. I don't agree with that, but I understand it: international pressure is not easy to manage.
