Coffee Shops / Drugs: Bulldog Mania!
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Bulldog cafes are found all over Amsterdam. They say the first coffeeshop ever in Amsterdam was a Bulldog coffeeshop and it all started more then 25 years ago.

    Seeing all the bulldogs around town made me miss one special Sexy Samurai one!

  • Where else in the world can you order a Coca-cola or a Heineken to go with your order of hash, weed, and munchies?

    A bit *nippy* outside? How about a warm cup of hash hot chocolate to warm you up? ;-)

    It's 4pm .......... "High" Tea time!

    Dutch Cannabis Law

    International law means that the Netherlands cannot make cannabis legal and so this complicates the situation. Cannabis consumption is therefore viewed as decriminilised rather than legalised as technically it is illegal in Holland.

    Personal possession of a small quantity (under 30g) of cannabis is allowed.
    Coffeeshops are allowed to sell small amounts of cannabis and are strictly regulated and taxed. Coffeeshops must not sell to anyone under the age of 18, they must not sell more than 5g to any customer and they must not hold more than 500g on the premises. Also hard drugs are strictly forbidden.

     Dutch straws??!! I never heard of such a thing. Is that what they really are? I can't imagine drinking champagne through a straw, let alone one that looks like that! What would my mother say... after resuscitation?
