Amnesia

This is a very pleasant Coffeeshop on the Herengracht with outdoor seating. It’s one of the few places in town that specializes in organically grown weed. I enjoyed the comfortable interior with nice cushions and pillows, hand painted tables by Zoe, and mellow music that set the mood.
Update: I visited the Amnesia again for one of their Vaporizer Parties. It was packed full of happy people toking up the clean vapors from two vaporizers kept going thanks to the Amnesia and the hard-working, knowledgeable folks from the Cannabis College.
The party was livened up by a guy outside playing the saw. Yes, the saw. It sounded real eerie, like a theramin or a sci-fi soundtrack. Inside a DJ was spinning mellow house music while a very good trumpet player was layin’ down some Miles Davis’ riffs which really made that house music fly with the jazz adding the needed melody.
Amnesia was also featuring it’s new fountain style drinks, the EXACT same kind we used to get back in the ol’ soda fountain daze in New York. We’re talkin’ da kine milkshakes, ice cream sodas, vanilla cokes, lime rickeys, malteds (I couldn’t resist a chocolate malt that took me waaay back), and most unusual for Amsterdam, the famous NYC egg cream!
What more could you want for the raving munchies, but a cool fountain drink to set it right. The fountain drinks alone will make me a regular there.
Smokewise the Amnesia has a good selection of organically grown pot including Bio Sage and Amnesia Haze. But the most impressive smoke I tried there was the King Hassan Supreme hashish (fresh, with an incredibly good taste), at 11 Euros a gram and their Ice-o-lator hash (18 Euros a gram – the most expensive smoke in the house). Skip the Manali (tastes like crap).
So sit back, have a great drink, a good smoke, and dig the music at the Amnesia!

    the best weed ever! This ***t will ***k you up big time!! I mean, damn
    I thought the ***t I was gettin was good but just by walkin in there I
    was buzzin. Check it out.

  3. We were in Amnesia on our second to last day in Amsterdam and went due
    to the info on this site.

    It turns out it was not far from our hotel and the interior is changed since your picture. They have gone with a
    sharp purple motif and it is still clean and sharp looking. The thing
    we liked the most about this place was the smiles and friendly, helpful
    people they let us smell the weed we wanted and told us what they
    thought. We Super fruity Sativa and we liked it very much. Worth the
    trip! We enjoyed this part of town very much as it was a little slower
    paced.

  4. amazin place guy says the LSD X CHEESE was the strongest at 24 % thc, 5g for 59 euro bargain was wrecked for about an hour after smokin a half gram lsd really strong stone ur couchlocked and eyes watering from every draw, recommened cant wait to go bk great atmosphere also got a free coffee…..

  5. Amnesia is a Sweet, Chill Place with Great Weed and good snacks too! Super Silver Haze and the Laughing Buddah were top quality at 13-14 Euro per gram. Free use of Bongs and Vaporizers too, some with deposit.  Friendly service and while we were there during Cannabis Cup they were giving out tons of free chocolate sample and all the free Vapo. hits you wanted 🙂

  6. Just realised that i have booked the house next door for three days stay, oh what a happy coincidence . I may not see much of amsterdam this trip ðŸ™‚
