If you've got some cash to spare check out Jimmy Woo or Supperclub. Other than that there's tons of great bars to get pissed at (too many to name really).
Also check out the guy that does the football skills at the Leidseplein and if you want some good bit of comedy check out BoomChicago, also at the Leidseplein.

You must have a boring life and an unadventurous personality.

So what exactly qualifies as "soft drugs"?

Click to expand...

A distinction is drawn between hard drugs (which bear "unacceptable" risks; e.g. cocaine, heroin and ecstasy) and soft drugs such as the psychedelic psilocybin mushrooms as well as cannabis products: hashish and marijuana (as defined in the Dutch Opium Act). The distinction is drawn on whether the substance is only psychologically addictive (i.e. producing no worse effect than moderate craving when withdrawn) or also physically addictive (i.e. there is solid proof the drug could cause dangerous withdrawal symptoms and/or lasting physical damage). One of the main aims of this policy is to separate the markets for soft and hard drugs so that soft drug users are less likely to come into contact with hard drugs. This policy also aims to take the soft drug market out of the hands of the criminals, thus reducing crime.

So-called coffee shops are allowed to sell soft drugs openly, and to keep supplies greater than the amounts allowed by law for personal use, though they are only allowed to sell individual customers the amount allowed for personal use. The coffeeshops' wholesale suppliers, however, are still criminalized. In practice, the limit of the "for personal use" clause is 5 cannabis plants per person for growing, or possession of 5 grams of hashish or marijuana per person. Example of sentence in 2004 for possession of 360 grams: confiscation and a fine of €750. Coffeeshops pay taxes just like any other business, though there are some special exemptions for them, mostly because they cannot show receipts for their supply of marijuana.

Large-scale dealing, production, import and export are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, even if this does not supply end users or coffeeshops with more than the allowed amounts. Exactly how coffeeshops get their supplies is rarely investigated, however. What is certain is that coffeeshops do sell cannabis that comes from countries where it is illegal. Large suppliers tend to be criminals motivated by profit who do not make the distinction between hard and soft drugs. Hence, the soft drug policy, by failing to address the issue of supply, has made the Netherlands the main centre for hard drug trafficking in Europe. Creating a highly controlled, legal production chain for cannabis to combat this problem has been proposed by a number of Dutch politicians over the last few years, so far without results.

Spoken like a man who has never done a drug in his life.

Hey, I'm not for abusing substances, it's just that on vacation you should have fun and broaden your horizons; in Amsterdam where you can safely partake in hot hookers and weed/shrooms that seems like the place to start. What's wrong with that? Getting f'ed up, meeting a bunch of fun new people, having tons of guilt free sex with hotties, and doing stuff that you normally can't do seems like a much more fun time to me than going to Anne Frank's house. Call me crazy.

Weed is overrated. It chills you out, yes but it certainly doesn't make you stare at a tree for 2 hours or anything like that.

Oh, forgot to mention. If you're going when there weather is nice and warm go buy some beers, bring a football/guitar/frisbee/whatever and chill in the Vondelpark. Nothing can beat that.

Whatever floats your boat man. A good time for me is not fvcking and getting high for a week on a vacation. That you can do at home. When I finally leave, I wan't to see what's out there, not experience the same crap I can get around the block.

Would you honestly not only have sex with a bitch who got ****ed by 500 other guys before you, but also pay for it on top of that?

It would have to be a VERY hot hooker, but hell yeah I would. It's just sex, who cares. I know it's safe, and it's an experience that you can talk about for the rest of your life. "Have you ever bought a hooker?" "Yeah, I have. CRAZY story, so I was in Amsterdam..."

How do you not want to be able to say that?

WAIT!! I am confused!!!

Is there more than one red light district? How much would it cost to go from america to amsterdam? Also, are there any other airports in holland. Maybe land in some other city and then take a train to Amsterdam?


How hard is it really to get "hard" drugs in Amsterdam? Since marijuana is legal I would imagine the police would be out in force to look for anyone getting carried away, right?

As for the hookers, no, I would not spend money on sex.
