In Amsterdam, cannabis cafes or coffee shops are tolerated by the government. Coffee shops are a place to buy cannabis or marijuana, meet people and enjoy a smoke in a relaxed environment. There are now over 300 coffee shops alone in the Amsterdam region. Each one has its own unique menu, detailing their own selections of cannabis or marijuana, as well as pre-rolled joints and cake (space cake). Snacks and drinks are also available at most coffee shops although most do not have a license to serve alcohol. Prices of marijuana will vary greatly from coffeeshop to coffee shop, with the longer established and well known ones charging more. Good bargains can be found by walking further afield and trying out the back street cafes. The photos below are a selection of the better known ones.
