First-Time Amsterdam Coffeeshop Tips

• Always bring valid photo ID — under-25s are routinely checked even if they look older
• Start low: ask staff for CBD-dominant or low-THC options if it's your first time
• Don't buy from street dealers — always use licensed coffeeshops for safety and legality
• Many shops have separate cannabis and tobacco areas — check before lighting up
• You can leave and re-enter, but each visit is a new 5g purchase limit
• Bring cash — some shops don't accept cards
