if you are coming on here to find out about this i am going to assume you really arent that serious about it or youd be looking somewhere else

Damn, man...from most of your posts I've read, it just really seems like you don't have many nice things to say about anyone. That's a real bummer. I'm not trying to flame you and I'm not going to give you any neg rep because it seems like you get that on your own from others. It just seems like you are not adding any information here...just increasing the animosity. I'm sure this isn't the ONLY place HK Slyone is looking, but if I was a member of a cannabis forum...that is surely one of the first places I would throw the idea out to. Maybe I just haven't read the right threads...maybe you are a saint in all of your other posts. I dunno.

Good luck with your shop, Slyone.
Good luck being nicer, suhl. Be cool. :jointsmile:

Opening a business successfully requires years of education and hard work. If everyone could move to amsterdam and open a coffee shop, why isn't everyone doing it?

Go to school, get your bachelor's in business. Grow weed for a few decades. Make powerful connections. Move to Amsterdam, find connections, use a few million to rent out a space, find cheap, accessible product, and start a business. That's probably what it would take to start a coffee shop in Amsterdam. There's your realistic answer.

Thanks man!

That's a little harsh. No doubt, opening a coffe shop in Amsterdam is not the easiest thing to do...especially if your and American, but it is doable. I would however, suggest that if you are seriously contemplating moving and going through with it, you should first go visit and find out if its really for you. Once youve done that, you can start looking at the logistics. Its true, the Dutch government has been restricting the number of licenses distributed to coffe shops. If you want to go legit in Amsterdam, this could serve as a problem but there are still ways of obtaining a permit. Another main factor that comes into play is space. Real estate in Europe, especially in smaller more confined city areas (which most of europe is) is extremely expensive. So before you get down to the good stuff (profiting and smoking yourself out on your own ganja) you need to seriously think about capital and rental space. After that, if your a real all round anything to do with cannabis kind of person and serious about living out your dream, youll enjoy building up and maintaining the shop. Coffe shops are run just like legitimate businesses, so if you think you can handle it, go for it.

If Amsterdams not for you, theres always plenty of ganja oppurtunities in beautiful Schweiz (switzerland), where swiss citizens just voted on 100% marijuana legalization for adults!

A lot of it boils down to money mate.

You will need a considerable amount, look at loans perhaps if you don't have any savings or anything.

There is some info there about starting up a business, give it a read. It is based on opening one in the UK, but I'm sure that there will be valid and useful information there.

Firstly , you will not be able to open a coffeeshop in Holland.
They have suspended the issue of licences for coffeshops and no new ones are to be issued for the forseeable future.
The only way you can become a coffeeshop proprietor is if you can find someone willing to sell you thier exisiting business complete with licence .

They are actually reducing the amount of MJ outlet shops in Amsterdam. The government is closing 43 shops by 2011
