Alcohol

The first mention of alcohol is "With the exception of advertising and alcohol, these restrictions are monitored and controlled very fiercely." Since there none of the restrictions listed mention alcohol (presumably, it is not included in the class of "hard drugs") this makes no sense. - Jmabel | Talk 22:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Just someone's POV, advertising isnt a drug either, and so I have removed the reference to either, SqueakBox 22:56, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

No alcohol in any coffeeshops starting April 2007. Now all coffeeshops must also close at 1 am (alcohol establishments were previously allowed to remain open until 3 am).

Sales to foreigners?

Updated the entry to include information about the recent (May 28 2011) law change banning foreigners from patronizing coffee shops. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.48.145.194 (talk) 22:25, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Can foreigners buy cannabis in these coffee shops in Amsterdam or did that policy last year get implemented? Or was it just hearsay that there is supposed to be a new policy that restricts sales to locals only? Anyone??? 71.111.103.217 05:28, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

This is definitely not the case in Amsterdam. Here is an article summarizing the origins of this rumor: http://www.cannabislegal.de/international/nl-nol3.htm . I have heard that a city near the German border was going to try this (Maastricht). This rumor seems to have begun in 2003, Belgium laws have changed in 2005 to support carrying of up to 3 grams so although the moment of drug from one country to another is still illegal, it is not strictly enforced. The only thing strictly enforced is age which is checked at the entry to the door by sliding your id into a card reader. Also, you can buy up to 5 grams of Marijuana in the Netherlands....at each coffee shop, Have fun

how old do you have to be to just go inside the cafes?

yeah i am only 17 and i am going to be leaving america for amsterdam in november for the cannabis cup and i have looked every where for restrictions on minors coming into the cafes! i would really like to know! i am going to keep looking but thus far i have only found restictions on the sell of marijuana to minors! ao am i allowed to go in and chill with my friends or not?

WP:NOT#FORUM, but this is a potentially valid point for inclusion in the article.--h i s r e s e a r c h 19:31, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Officially you have to be 18 to enter an coffeeshop. And you may even be asked to show a valid form of identification (in The Netherlands a passport, drivers licence or EU IDcard). But most of the time you simply walk in and sit down. As in regular bars it's up to the staff to keep an eye open for minors. If they suspect you are underaged they will ask for your id. 145.7.182.14 (talk) 10:30, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Outside the Netherlands

I cannot believe that there is no entry for Jamaica! Ganja, mon! Dick Kimball (talk) 16:32, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Bermuda

Saw one of those travel programs on Discovery (or mayby Travel Channel?) a few years back. And there they visited a fully legal dutch style coffee shop in the city centre of the capital of Bermuda.

I removed a really un-encyclopedic paragraph because I couldn't find a way to translate it into the right style. 99.157.202.153 (talk) 04:35, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Cannabis coffee shop → Coffeeshop – According to the article, these establishments are called "coffeeshops," and a look at the disambiguation page Coffee shop shows this form should be unambiguous. Alternatively, I also prefer Coffeeshop (Netherlands) or Coffee shop (Netherlands) to the current title. Take a look at the links to this page on other Wikipedias; only the Polish one mentions marijuana, and as a disambiguator. While there is some use of our current form, both alternatives do much better. Coffeeshop is probably the most precise, but it may be a bit esoteric for most readers. --BDD (talk) 20:46, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
