La Tertulia
This gezellig little coffeeshop in the Jordaan along the Princengracht, is easy to find. Just look for the Van Gogh wall mural with sunflowers on the outside wall. They serve snacks and there’s a few outside tables. Inside there’s a crystal garden with a large assortment of crystals and jewelry.

Barney’s Uptown Amsterdam
Barney’s has a great place next to the coffee shop. Great music, good cocktails and really good food. They stay open till midnight. This is one of the few places in Amsterdam where you can have a good meal while you smoke your weed.

Dutch Smoking Ban – Pure Cannabis Joints OK!
This is GREAT NEWS for cannabis users in Holland (and tourists of course!). Now maybe the Dutch will STOP mixing their marijuana with tobacco in their joints! It’s very unhealthy and addictive to smoke tobacco!
By Bruno Waterfield in Brussels
Cannabis will be exempt from a Dutch smoking ban that comes into force in two months.
Restrictions on smokers in cafes and restaurants will not apply as long as cannabis is consumed neat, without tobacco. The exemption follows fears that many of Amsterdam’s lucrative “coffee shops” would be forced to close if soft drug users had to smoke elsewhere.
Liberal Dutch policies, introduced in 1972, on the sale and use of cannabis have generated a trade valued at more than £3 billion a year.
The coffee shops, which draw millions of tourists each year, allow users to buy cannabis over the counter and smoke it without fear of arrest.

Dutch to Ban Smoking in Coffeeshops!
Update: Some people are saying the Dutch will just ignore these bans, especially in Amsterdam.
Well it’s finally going to happen! Next year the Dutch are banning all smoking in all coffeeshops, as well as bars and restaurants. This will help the Dutch comply with EU laws. Other countries have had to do the same. Whether or not this will mean you can’t light up anymore is still open to debate as coffeeshop owners insist the ban is only on tobacco. Of course nearly all Dutch smoke their cannabis mixed with tobacco. So now you can’t buy booze and you can’t smoke in Coffeeshops, the only thing left is to purchase cannabis and I guess sit there and look at it…
Have fun in Amsterdam while you still can!!!
Dutch Coffeeshops to Fingerprint Customers!
Starting September 2007, coffeeshops in the City of Mastricht will start fingerprinting, photographing and copying their customers ID cards. This is due to a new law requiring each customer be identified and the amount of cannabis purchased recorded.
Since 2002, police have strictly enforced the existing laws, and shops found in violation are automatically closed for a minimum of three months for a single infraction, six months for a second offense, and permanently for a third. Now only 15 of Maastricht’s 26 licensed shops remain open, and more are likely to close as a result of these new laws.
Despite efforts to fight this new law, the remaining coffeeshops in Mastricht are going to comply with the new rules. Other Dutch border towns and the city of Rotterdam are also considering implementing these new rules for coffeeshops.
No doubt this will have a chilling effect upon the cannabis trade in Holland.
