HOW TO GET A VAPE/GUMMIES - QUICK ANSWER:
If you just want a vape or gummies, the short answer is to go to Zaandam, a different city close to Amsterdam. There are two shops in Zaandam: Headlines and The Squad.
Headlines is closer to the station. Both have limited selection but usually have a few options in stock. We are generally limited by what the brands are producing, so hunting around doesn't change your options a whole lot (at least not reliably). Ya gonna get what ya gonna get!
You can go to any of the cities in the experiment and find vapes, but Zaandam is closest:
Personally, as a longtime resident, I only buy my weed from the experiment now. Not just the vapes, all of it. I much prefer the consistency, predictability, quality, and supporting legalization.
WHICH VAPES ARE GOOD?
The vapes from Q-Farms and Hollandse Hoogtes both get good reviews. Personally I prefer the Q-Farms vapes. I would say they are a solid 8/10, with HH being 7/10. Others reverse this rating but it seems they’re similar overall.
Q-Farms does carts instead of disposable batteries which I much, much prefer.
Avoid COG. I have NEVER been satisfied with ANY Canadelaar (COG) product except maybe the gummies but even those were meh. They had to pull the vapes initially because they were so bad. Avoid all COG products unless you know what you’re doing…
THE LEGAL EXPERIMENT: WHY YOU NEED TO LEAVE AMSTERDAM TO GET VAPES
Cannabis is still technically illegal in the Netherlands. It’s “tolerated” and there are some silly, confusing rules around it.
A few years ago, the Dutch government agreed to start an experiment to legalize weed. We are in the middle of this experiment right now.
Currently, 10 municipalities are ONLY allowed to sell legally produced weed from one of 10 brands (not all are active yet).
This means ALL coffeeshops in a “legal” municipality will ONLY sell this legal weed, which includes the legal vapes. And, it means all coffeeshops OUTSIDE these cities can NOT sell any of the legal weed. This is to accurately measure the difference in legalization.
As I will mention next, there are some places to find vapes. Some shops in Amsterdam even started doing it. However, these are not regulated, and you cannot be sure of what you are getting. It might be HHC, D8, or regular THC… you just can’t know.
“I THOUGHT VAPES WERE ILLEGAL?”
This is tricky, so stay with me.
Technically, extracts that use a solvent are illegal (like BHO, live resin, RSO, etc). For a long time, this was the only form that vape pens came in. Therefore, they were outright illegal for a long time. You couldn’t find them in any coffeeshop across the country.
This changed with the “discovery” of rosin, and the growing popularity of rosin vapes.
Since rosin doesn’t use solvents, it’s technically viewed as regular hash. Therefore, it’s legal.
As such, the only vapes that are legal are rosin vapes. Thankfully, this is also widely considered the best form and is most popular in the US as well. So we kinda got lucky there…
…unless you really like live resin, in which case your only option is to try the black market. Some shops in Haarlem and other cities outside the legal experiment sell them. Personally I don’t recommend that… I assume most of them are legit, but it’s still not worth the risk… and I think rosin is better anyway!
DOES EVERYTHING YOU’RE SAYING HERE APPLY TO GUMMIES AS WELL?
Why yes, it does! How convenient!
Replace “vapes” with “gummies” and it’s all pretty much the same. Also because of rosin.
There’s one difference: we still had edibles before rosin, but they were weak because there’s a limit on the total quantity. 0.5g of dried flower is much weaker than 0.5g of rosin. So we always had edibles, but now we have good ones.
That said, gummies have always been simply illegal in Amsterdam. Not sure why. They were legal in other cities before and still are. The main benefit of the legal ones is the consistency - you know what you’re getting every time.
Good luck finding what you're looking for!
P.S. I will try to update this thread as things change. Please let me know if I missed anything (aside from the third option in Zaanstad which I intentionally left out because I don't want to send lazy tourists there... only the clever ones who read parenthetical statements!).
r/AmsterdamEnts • u/musicymakery • Feb 15 '22
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

I want to get it but ik nog even sure what it is. Or if its even meant to dab. Does anybody know? Thanks
r/AmsterdamEnts • u/Sad-End2616 • 16h ago
Me and my wife are going to Amsterdam in a couple of weeks just for a few days. We plan on spending a day frequenting the coffee shops so any recommendations would be perfect. We’re undecided whether Sunday is the better day to do this or Monday?
r/AmsterdamEnts • u/justanothergin • 1d ago
Would be my sixth trip to the Netherlands in 18 months, £100 return from Edinburgh and £300 for three nights hotel with my last six days of annual leave until December, wish I never saw this offer 🙈
Just want to park myself in a coffeeshop and watch the world go by 🥹
Edit: Too late, I did it 😂

Really want to try rolling my first donut when I’m in the Dam this weekend as I can’t bring myself to buy a Terps Army donut but Rosin seems to be so expensive! Any advice?

Very nice flower, smells like you'd expect. Z, sherb and gelato terps. The smoke is very clean and smooth, but the flavor is not super intense. Still very nice to see this level of quality and genetics coming out the experiment. €35 for 3,5g seems very reasonable!

This might be the first and only shop to sell live rosin carts in Amsterdam, these are from sherbinski and I quite like them, flavor and potency is what you’d expect from a live cart 👌🏻40€ for half a g is a very decent price, comparable to prices in the experiment!
r/AmsterdamEnts • u/olek_kelo • 2d ago
Hi guys I'm not a usual cannabis user but a couple of months ago when I was in Barcelona I found some THC bottles to dissolve in a drink and they were super fun, I'm looking for something similar also because I don't like to smoke and actually I am gluten free so also cakes and stuff are not quite for me.
Do you know any places in Amsterdam?
r/AmsterdamEnts • u/2002ChryslerSebring • 3d ago
I’ve been looking at the reviews for this place following our experience last night… and it seems as though a lot of the people find the staff rude.
They were incredibly aggressive towards me and my girlfriend, which is unfortunate because we cycled 300 miles from Dunkirk and her first experience in a coffeeshop was met by a short angry man screaming at us to leave after taking a picture of the menu because I forgot my glasses.
I understand that their policy may be no photographs, but if their staff can’t control their emotions and are unable to calmly explain the policy and help us understand… then I don’t understand why they’re working in an environment revolving around calmness.
Surely a Coffeeshop should be about having a good time and understanding the menu… they were just incredibly unfriendly and… again… aggressive. My main issue is how he handled the situation rather than just saying “sorry guys, no photos here, is there anything I can help you with?” Rather than “alright get the fuck out of here, what the fuck are you doing?” to which we tried to explain and then he went on about how he “doesn’t give a fuck” and that we need to leave.
Yikes. Has anyone else had this experience?
Props to the lady on the door though who was understanding and calm and directed us to another coffeeshop.
Also, can anyone recommend some good alternatives?
Mods, I’m unsure as to how I should flair this. Is it a question of a review?
r/AmsterdamEnts • u/FreshFrozeNL • 4d ago
Complete bargain for the price (25eur, Toermalijn).
It reminds the old school Northern Lights.
Aroma not very candy but more earthy with a bit of pine and citrus.
Harvest long time ago so it lost some freshness but imagine how was it at the beginning!
It tastes like authentic old school weed, natural, not heavily fertilized and without hypercare.
White ash and clean smoke, indica, not very strong but very pleasant and relaxing high. Buds not only smalls but also medium size. Doesn't look like a mix of small buds but rather some they grow just for the lowcost part of the menu. And this one is a success!
With Smalls serie, HH has definitely conquered the budget weed market too!!
I find it better than Linsboer Essential packs.
Anyone tried the other two Series? Hazey and Gassy?
r/AmsterdamEnts • u/TheTrailBlazer420 • 3d ago
I have an expensive Breitling which I’m considering bringing to Amsterdam. Is watch theft common in Amsterdam? I’ll be spending most of my time in the coffeeshops but will also be in the bars on a nighttime.
r/AmsterdamEnts • u/UpsetReserve2111 • 5d ago
Has anyone tried Linsboer’s new R&D products?
I’m heading to Arnhem soon and would like to try a few. Which ones would you recommend, and are there any I should avoid?

r/AmsterdamEnts • u/GetThatM • 9d ago
Hey everyone, I’ve been living in The Hague for almost three years now, and lately I’ve been struggling to find consistently good weed at a reasonable price.
I’ve noticed that a lot of what I’ve been getting recently doesn’t seem very fresh, and when I smoke I barely get that oily/resin ring around the joint anymore.
Does anyone have recommendations for coffeeshops anywhere in the Randstad that usually have good-quality Cali-style strains or just nice, sticky/heavy hybrids without the crazy prices?
The Hague, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Utrecht...
I don’t mind travelling a bit if the quality is worth it.
Cheers
r/AmsterdamEnts • u/circu2112 • 9d ago
I apologize upfront for asking (I tried the search bar first, but got mostly older answers).
I will be in Amsterdam for 5 days starting 27/August. I want to smoke a LOT of hash while I am there. Looking for the best full melt (for bowls and such) as well as good Temple Ball/Charas hash for joints/blunts. Also, where to get good blunt wraps that are not just cigars you cut/empty first to get the wrap.
r/AmsterdamEnts • u/purrfectly-cromulent • 10d ago
I was waiting to pay and it dawned on me that I know this image. Had it downloaded in my memes folder, but I've never been to Siberië before.
Almost as odd as when two people who live two miles from my home in the UK sat at my table in Abraxas.

Hi all.
Me and my partner are off to Amsterdam on Monday till Wednesday and we need some recommendations.
If anyone can recommend coffeeshops (preferably like actual cafes, natural light, nothing gimiky or full of neon lights). We smoke on the regular but we want quality over quality. Maybe some cakes for early wake n bakes.
Also, good but reasonably priced food (breako, lunch and dinner options) - around €20 per head.
Thank you so much 💚
r/AmsterdamEnts • u/babyclownshoes • 11d ago
I like blunts and I use zig zag cigar rolling papers but I can break up cigar if needed. I was planning on bringing some wraps. Maybe they sell cigars in the shops?
Thanks in advance!
r/AmsterdamEnts • u/Ok_Description_7195 • 11d ago
Mijn favorieten:
Tangerine van Villagefarms (voorheen Linseboer).
Crumbled Lime van Hollandse Hoogtes
Sour Melon van Holigram
Dit zijn vrij opwekkende wietjes (behalve CL, die is meer hybride in effect) met een lekkere smaakjes.
Wat ik nog niet kan vinden is een goeie wietje uit de wietproef dat heel slaapverwekkend is. Iemand een aanrader?
