I know that the age for smoking Cannabis in the Netherlands is 18 years old. However, this summer, me and some friends are going interrailing. And ofcourse we have to stay a couple of days in Amsterdam.

The problem for the one person is that he's not turning 18 until November, and he has to get into the coffeeshops with us. He looks pretty old for his age, and acts old too.

Do the people in the coffeeshops often check ID, or is it enough to only look a bit older? And which ID counts as valid ID? Do you have to bring you're passport, or is it enough with a Visa, or something?

Thanks beforehand! :thumbsup: :rasta:
