Buzzhunter presents: 25 Coffeeshops in central Amsterdam you must experience! What do you think? Are there any you would recommend? We spent 10 days in the Netherlands. Here are our (completely unscientific) findings
There is no firm plans to stop this. There was a marketing campaign to keep people away however this is aimed more at the drinking groups. It seems to have worked too. Given every coffeeshop in Central Amsterdam relies on tourists, it'd be silly to stop this. A different story in the border regions such as Limburg which require a weed pass. Amsterdam, Den Haag & Rotterdam are fine though. New Dutch government in place now though so need to keep an eye.
@@Thanos_Tag Coffeeshops are advising that the €100 euro fine for public smoking is applicable only to the red light district, which I would avoid anyway as it's tacky and a complete con! I ask this at coffeeshops every time I go. Even that isn't policed from my own experience. Personally, walked by police near Dam square walking to 1e Hulp while blazing one; early in the morning too, not many people about. Not a peep from them other than a very friendly "good morning" which was a relief as I did think I was about to get hit for €100! It's not something I would be worried about. In truth, the marketing is trying to get rid of the drinkers, not the smokers. The police have the power to fine you, yes. But they're not obliged to, and therefore they don't. They view it as a waste of time. There are thousands of people walking around smoking. Again, new dutch government in place, fairly right wing, so we will see what happens but I don't see this changing; especially as the weed tourists now have other options with Spain's Cannabis Clubs and soon Germany will legalise. Blaze up! You'll be fine! 👍
I can't remember every one off the top of my head. Id have to look at the images I have. Top 3 (Reefer, Rookies and 1e Hulp definitely sell). I had a moonrock joint in 420 cafe though, and it was my first dabble. Unreal! Still feeling the effects of that! 😂 €20 well spent! 420 not on the list as I feel its a bit tourist trappy - but I prejeducie that solely on its proximity to Centraal Station. It is a great coffeeshop - when you can get in - and the staff are brilliant!
I'm not a fan if I'm honest. The metal detectors as you go in are very off putting and it's always way too busy for my liking. Having said that, good flower menu!
I can understand that due to its location at the edge of the RLD but for me, I've been in on 2 separate visits and enjoyed it, largely because green place and greenhouse effect were full up, in fairness. I thought it was worth a mention. The guy working on both occasions was brilliant. It's all about opinions I guess. What was your experience like?
Really bad, im no new time Amsterdam Visitor , greenhouse effect was packed full so we try this one , bubblegum was brixweed andnew york diesel some shity spray haze so be aware@@buzzhuntersmokes
yeah? that's bad craic! When was that? I'm just wondering if it's new owners or something. I'll have to try and find out. Greenhouse effect is always packed man! Think I've managed to get in for a seat once and it was at like 7am for a wake and bake! I'd have thought the worst one at that square would be jolly joker! I had a nice bit of bud in that but the atmosphere was shite and staff just wanted to argue with everyone and find an excuse to turn them away.
Yes, I agree! I didn't set out to do this I just went to Amsterdam and ended up with loads of footage on an old smartphone; and I thought I'd give it a go and see. Definitely do it different next time. Didn't really have any equipment or such. Cheers for the feedback 👍
@buzzhuntersmokes the video was still interesting but it would have been much better if you showed more footage of the bud menus. Maybe give your reasons to why you placed it on your list. Good video still, mate.
@@creativemediaportfolio4502 well as I say, it was totally unplanned. So there's no real structure to it, was just a trial run with not amazing footage. Definetly be a different format for next ones. Been working on things I want to improve on and bought the equipment I need to make it more professional. Definitely room for improvement but that's what first times are for 🤣
