Here is great info on Amsterdam Coffeeshop's if your planning to go to Amsterdam...

Amsterdam coffeeshops


Following pages do not encourage use of any drugs and should serve as a general source of information - just because Amsterdam is a sin city. Never try to take drugs out of the country, penalties are stiff.
In Amsterdam, coffeeshop means a place where cannabis is openly sold and smoked. Thought soft drugs have not been legalized in the Netherlands, it is tolerated when used discretely. Hard drugs are strictly prohibited. The coffeeshops can legally store up to 500 g of marijuana and can sell up to 5 grams to adults over 18.

There are many different kinds of coffeeshops in Amsterdam, some are relaxed, some more vivid, with psychedelic decor or loud music. Since people around enjoy, any agression will not be accepted. Also, it is not favourable just to hang around - a coffee, soft drinks and snacks are generaly available, only few coffeeshops have an alcohol license. You can smoke from your own bag, you just have to buy something.
We believe, that while tobacco is physically addictive, cannabis may be mentally addictive. If you are pregnant do not smoke anything, it can harm your unborn child.
General rules that coffeeshops require to abide:

• Minimum age 18 years, identification duty
• No alcohol, no hard drugs
• No selling goods
• No mobile phones (in some)
• Agression is not allowed
• No hanging around

Each coffeeshop offers several kinds of weed and hash, usually there is a "menu" to choose from. The prices vary according to the quality (about 5 EUR per gram) - be careful, the local skunk is strong, you can always ask the staff for the strenght and the general effect. You may also want to ask for a pipe to use, rolling papers and filter-tips are available as well.
Editor's tip: There is a major smoking event in Amsterdam called High Times Cannabis Cup, that usually takes place in November, please check by late summer for exact dates.

Welcome to see Amsterdam smartshops, these are fully legal. Coffeeshop YO YO
"While ambling through the Albert Cuypmarkt, I happened upon a quaint little coffeeshop named Yo-Yo. Well lit and welcoming, the atmosphere was unlike any other shop I had visited on my 4 visits to A'dam. The staff were very friendly with more of a cafe' feeling than a coffeeshop." Thomas from Austin, Texas.

I can cut this whole thread in to one sentence.

"If you are going to Amsterdam and crave marijuana, go to a Coffee Shop."

Most of that was pointless dribble "/ Besides, no one really cares other than the mentally corrupted.
