question about amsterdam coffee shops

[Ol Schwaggy Bastard]

Hello there, I'm not sure if this is in the right area, but I have a question about the amsterdam coffeeshops for anybody whos ever been or knows about it there. I'm planning a trip a trip there in december with a friend, I'm 19 and he's 17, and he's worried about the age requirement at the coffeeshops. I was just wondering how strict they are about it..like is it okay if i buy it and we both smoke it there, or do they card everybody at the door? what's the deal?

You can drink beer in pubs if you are 16 in Holland. I tihnk you have to be 18 to buy weed though.

As long as he doesnt look like a toddler they wont mind. I've seen young looking people going in without getting carded.

just be cool i bet youll slide on through.

in situations like that i used to just think of myself as a fly on a wall.

I went to a-dam and my friend was 17, i was 18. He got asked for I.d at every coffeeshop besides de kroon. Prepare not to be able to chill in every shop.

It's like LIP says it depends on how old you look, only the large coffeeshops have door people, go to the smaller ones (they're usually more friendly anyway and it's better weed imo), be polite , courteous and don't make a tw*t of yourself and you can sit there all day and get hammered. That's my advice and i've been going since 1990....you'll fu"*in luv it

only The Bulldog carded me, but then again they are one of the most commercial shops it seems...

If you sit in the shop underage, you are putting the shop owner at risk.
Get the weed, and take your friend to the Vondelpark, or back to your hotel.
