    HIGH TIMES BASIC GUIDE TO AMSTERDAM 2004
    By John Sinclair


    For the pot smoker, visiting Amsterdam is a special privilege. While marijuana is not exactly legal, for the past 30 years smoking has not been regarded as criminal behavior, and excellent supplies of marijuana and hashish are available from the city’s many cannabis coffeeshops at a reasonable price.

    The High Times Cannabis Cup Guide is designed to introduce you to more than two dozen of the city’s finest cannabis emporia, most of them concentrated within walking distance of Centraal Station. Each coffeeshop offers its own unique vibe—take the time to stop and enjoy them while you’re running from shop to shop. Sit down and meet some strangers, make some friends and have a drink.

    In the coffeeshops you can purchase pot and hash over the counter, sit down and roll up a bomber or use the house glass if you don’t have your own, and smoke at your leisure. Anywhere else, please, always ask permission to smoke cannabis before lighting up. It’s a whole lot less embarrassing than being told to put it out or leave.

    It is important to be aware that the Dutch coffeeshop scene is under severe political attack like never before. Incessant pressure from other countries—the US, France and Sweden are the top three culprits—and a rising conservative tide in the Dutch legislative body have left the shops more vulnerable than at almost any time in their history.

    The coffeeshop movement dates back to the early 1970s, but the past seven years have brought several major changes in the rules which regulate the cannabis trade. First the shops were forced to choose between serving alcohol or cannabis products, and while there are still more than 50 cannabis cafes where you can get both a drink and a smoke, by January 1, 2007 they will be entirely a thing of the past.

    Then the government mandated that there could be no advertising of the availability of cannabis products at any establishment. Even the ever-present cannabis menus at the shops must now be displayed face down until the customer requests to examine them or asks to see the buds and blocks of hash on hand. Now there is even talk of an actual smoking ban in the shops themselves, ostensibly to protect the workers from second-hand smoke.


    So be aware that decriminalized public smoking is a privilege to be both respected and enjoyed while you’re in Amsterdam. It’s not a big thing to the Dutch citizenry but an acceptable recreational activity best practiced in private or in designated public areas like the coffeeshops. Your stay will be most rewarding if you maintain a sense of decorum and respect the local customs wherever you go.

    One sad fact for American travellers this year is the severe disparity in the value of the US dollar with respect to the local currency, the Euro. When you change your American money for Euros (Potts money exchange in the Dam Square is reputed to have the best exchange rates), you will immediately lose 20 to 25% of your dollars.

    This damage is best expressed in the rough formula: one dollar = .75 Euro, or one Euro = $1.25. In other words, for every $1,000 you may bring with you, your buying power is reduced to EURO 750. This disparity will also show up on your credit card statement: If you charge a EURO 20 meal, for instance, your account will be billed for $25.00 or so.


    GETTING AROUND

    Amsterdam has a terrific public transportation system that can get you to just about any section of the city in a short time by tram, Metro (subway) and bus. You can purchase tickets from the conducteur on board, but your best bet is to buy a strippenkaart at a tobacco or tourist shop for EURO 6.40. The attendant on board each tram will stamp your strippenkaart for two strips or more, depending on the number of zones that you need to travel through, and you can travel in those zones by tram, bus or subway in any direction for the next hour at no additional charge.

    Be aware that the trams and the Metro cease operations each night between midnight and 12:30 am, so if you’re planning to catch the tram back to your hotel after an evening of entertainment and dining out, be sure to make the tram stop right around midnight or catch a taxi home after that.

    The taxi is another good (though more costly) way to get around town. There are taxi stands located near most large hotels and big public places. Taxis aren’t allowed to cruise for passengers in Amsterdam like they do in many other cities, so you must call for a cab to pick you up (dial 020 677 7777 or ask the staff at wherever you are to call you one) or head for the first car in line at the nearest taxi stand.

    You will immediately notice that bicycling is very popular in Amsterdam, and renting a bike is an excellent way to get around. Bike rentals tend to be quite reasonably priced, locks are supplied and you must never forget to use them or the bike is virtually guaranteed to be stolen. Hot bikes comprise one of the biggest segments of property crime in Holland, so please don’t encourage this ugly tendency by buying a bike from someone on the street.

    When you are in pedestrian mode, you’ll find that there are three lanes in each direction for traffic on most major streets: one for cars, one for bikes and the center one for trams and taxis. The sidewalks and bicycle paths are sometimes separated only by a line on the edge of the pavement. Pay attention to where you’re walking or standing on the streets at all times, and NEVER stand still in a bike path. When you hear the insistent tinkling of bicycle bells, get out of the way! If you get caught in a bike path and get hit by a bike, it’s still your fault.

    And of course there is always the intense pleasure of walking around this beautiful city. Fully half of the coffeeshops competing in the Cannabis Cup this year can be found on a leisurely stroll in the area between Centraal Station and Dam Square. The other half are located nearby on Haarlemmerstraat (just west of Centraal Station), in the Spui (just below Dam Square), in and around the Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein, with only a couple of others in outlying areas beyond walking distance.


    MUSEUMS

    Amsterdam is the City of Museums. There are 33 museums located within the city limits, and those are just the ones that are regularly open to the public. Most are art museums—Amsterdam is historically the home of many incredible artists, including Rembrandt and Van Gogh who have their own museums—but there are several different science museums as well as museums for media, photography, architecture, religion, shipbuilding and history. The renowned Rijksmuseum, the legendary “Treasure House of the Netherlands,” tops the list of the city’s cultural insitutions, which also includes the Amsterdam Historical Museum, the Anne Frank House, Madame Toussard’s Wax Museum, the Botanical Gardens and the Zoo. There’s even a Cannabis Museum and a Sex Museum. Go to http://www.amsterdammuseums.nl for complete information.


    DINING OUT

    Amsterdam is full of restaurants that offer just about everything that might please your palate. You can find restaurants all over the city featuring just about every sort of cuisine you might want to try. The Leidseplein is a particularly fertile area, but the entire City Centrum sports several fine breakfast spots and countless restaurants offering Indian, Afghanistan, Indonesian, Chinese, Thai, Argentinean, Mexican, Turkish, Middle Eastern, Japanese, American, British and, of course, traditional Dutch food.

    For vegetarians there are great places like Deshuma Proeflokaal (Weteringschans 65), Golden Temple (Uitrechtsestraat 126), De Vliegende Schotel (Nieuwe Leliestraat 162-16 and De Waaghals (Frans Halsstraat 29).

    There are also lots and lots of fast-food joints, pizzerias and snack bars, from the automated packaged sandwiches at FEBO to myriad falafel and sharwma stands to Burger King and McDonalds franchises. Dominoids have invaded the city too, so that the entire area is covered for pizza delivery. Get the phone number for the nearest one from the front desk at your hotel, where you can generally expect to find an entire selection of locally available food delivery menus available for your perusal.

    If you’d rather eat in your hotel room and save money, take a trip to the closest Albert Heijn supermarket. They have take-away meals as well as all of the basic supermarket items. Less pricey is the Dirk van de Brock chain, offering almost everything you can get at AH but at somewhat cheaper prices. There are also smaller neighborhood markets everywhere you go.

    Grocery stores tend to close by 8:00 pm, and most are closed all day Sunday too. After 8:00 pm you can find various snack bars and avondwinkels (night shops) that are usually open till around 1:00 am. After that you’re looking at the stuff in the vending machines in your hotel lobby. A little prior planning can keep you hip deep in quality foodstuffs of your choice without having to travel around at all hours.


    SHOPPING

    Amsterdam offers shopping opportunities galore, from high-end designer label boutiques to several excellent old-world street markets and literally everything in between. An elongated shopping street, the Nieuwendijk, runs between the Damrak and Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal and is continued below Dam Square as the Kalverstraat, featuring an incredible selection of shops of every description.

    In the southern end of the city in the area called the Pijp can be found the Albert Cuyp Markt, one of Amsterdam’s oldest and best-known open-air markets. There’s another big open-air market at Waterlooplein, a world-famous flower market not far from Dam Square, and a great used book market on the Spui every Friday.

    Serious shoppers say that the best bargains in town are hiding at the smaller marketplaces that dot the city, and even if you’re not in a buying mode you can observe all kinds of interesting people and products at these colorful places. There are some amazing little shops in many of the city’s many neighborhoods as well, and you can find almost anything that you can imagine here in Amsterdam.

    For some of the world’s oldest kind of shopping there’s the legendary Red Light District, a unique phenomenon that gives the concept of window-shopping a whole new dimension. Prostitution is legal and regulated by the government, and the attractive ladies who offer their personal wares for sale display their charms in the red-neon-lighted windows that front their working quarters.

    Amsterdam is also a center for diamond sales, with an abundance of jewelry stores and diamond centers that also offer tours of their facilities where you can see stones being graded, cut, polished and mounted. You can get some really interesting deals at these places, but be sure to shop around if you are planning to make a serious purchase.

    One of the best shopping experiences in Amsterdam, believe it or not, is the mall at Schiphol Airport. They have an incredible selection of places to shop—duty free—and you can pick up all of your last-minute gifts and souvenirs for your loved ones at home before you catch your flight back to the States.

    By the way, there’s a book called Serious Fun Shopping in Amsterdam that does a great job of showing you some of the most interesting ways to spend money here. The book is sometimes available in the US or on-line, but it’s easy to find in Amsterdam tourist shops all over town.




    ETIQUETTE

    The Cannabis Cup draws people from around the world to celebrate the spiritual, medical, industrial and recreational uses of cannabis. While in Amsterdam, please remember that the arguments for marijuana legalization become stronger when Cannabis Cup participants conduct themselves in a respectful and responsible manner.

    A quick etiquette lesson in Dutch customs may help you more fully enjoy your stay in this beautiful and tolerant city.

    Be polite! Europeans are more formal than Americans. Remember to say "please" and "thank you." Almost everyone in Holland speaks English, so just say “English, please” and most will be happy to oblige. People in general are kind and willing to help, so if you need directions or other assistance, don't hesitate to ask.

    Public cannabis use is not generally acceptable in Dutch society. While marijuana smoking is tolerated by the government, smokers are wise to restrict their consumption to designated coffeeshops and private homes. Judges must be discreet out of consideration for nonsmokers and local customs. Unless you're in a coffeeshop or your own hotel room, always ask permission before lighting up. Do not smoke cannabis in your hotel lobby or corridor.

    At the cannabis coffeeshops, marijuana and hashish are sold either behind the bar or at a separate window. Most shops provide a written menu, but due to government prohibition of any sort of advertising of cannabis products, you will usually have to ask to see the menu or to be shown samples. Many shops also provide free rolling papers and little strips of cardboard for making filter tips. A few coffeeshops provide pipes, bongs and/or vaporizers for customer use.

    Coffeeshops are places to hang out, offering a living-room-away-from-home atmosphere where you may feel free to read, write, play games, talk to friends and meet strangers while enjoying a beverage and a relaxed smoke. Although most coffeeshops don't serve alcohol, there are still quite a few that offer beer, wine and liquor on premises. Whatever their selection, it's considered polite to eat or drink something while at the coffeeshop. In the tourist district (the Red Light/Dam Square area) some shops require that you purchase something in order to sit down.

    Be patient. Even as you hurry from shop to shop for the Cup, be aware that Dutch service is unhurried and personal. Many Americans talk too loud and are overly impatient by Dutch standards, so be cool and show your respect for the staff and other clientele. While they automatically run a tab if you don't pay as you're served, it's easier to pay as you go during the busy Cannabis Cup period. In Holland it is considered rude for the server to present a bill before it is asked for. Your patience will be greatly appreciated considering the Cup brings more people to some shops in a day than they normally see in a week.

    A final word of warning: If you want to eat the cannabis concoctions called space cakes, be careful. It can take an hour to feel the effects on an empty stomach, while if you've already eaten a meal, it can take up to two hours. The effects last much longer and are more intense than from smoking cannabis. Panic reactions are common, even with regular users. Space cakes used to be more prevalent in Holland, but the Dutch government got tired of tourists getting too high and now views eatable cannabis as virtually a hard drug.

    • Dutch Words You Might Want To Know:

    hello/good-bye: dag
    thank you: dank je wel or bedankt
    you're welcome/please: alsjeblieft (owls-do-bleet)
    how much does that cost?: hoe veel kost dat?
    see ya: tot ziens
