Tips when visiting Amsterdam Coffeeshops

Most cannabis products that are sold in Amsterdam coffeeshops are usually strong and can easily get you knocked out.

If you still do not know what to buy, you may start off with a Sativa strain which can give a more uplifting high. If you have other things to do during your stay in the city other than being stoned, you can also go for Indica but this is a lot stronger.

Generally, shops that are located centrally are spoiled from long tourism stream which then becomes quite greedy. Because of this, their products are usually not high quality and they offer a higher price than other parts of the city. The more you move out from the center, the more the price of the strains are getting lower. The shops also offer a better quality of strains and have a better-relaxed atmosphere. It can be a good idea to ask the locals some of the places to buy weed and what to buy. Always trust the locals because they definitely know better.

You can either buy joints that have tobacco and cannabis or pure joints but this can be rare to find. Pure joints usually cost higher. It is always good to know what to buy and make sure you do not go for pre-rolled joints. This is because their content is usually not what it is supposed to be. Although you can smoke weeds in the coffeeshops, you are not allowed to use normal tobacco cigarettes. That is why you do not usually see people using tobacco in public areas of Amsterdam.
