1. Can I place an order online?

    No, by law we cannot ship products containing THC.

 

2. How much can I buy?

    By law, you may by 5 grams per person per day.

 

3. Can minors enter if they are accompanied by someone older than 18?

    No, never! No circumstance ever allows a minor to enter a coffee shop.

 

4. Why should I always carry my ID?

    You should always be able to prove that you are 18 years or older of age. Without
    valid ID you cannot enter a coffee shop.

 

5. What kind of ID is accepted?

    Passport, European Identity card and driver's license. Please refer to our
    house rules for more information.

 

6. Why can't I use another ID, such as a OV Jaarkaart or student card?

    After all I had to identify myself to obtain the card. Passport, European
    Identity card and driver's license are the only ID's legally accepted by
    authorities and thus by us.

 

7. Can I grow my own marijuana?

    This answer only applies to the Netherlands. Please turn to local authorities if     you reside outside of the Netherlands. No, you are not allowed to grow.     However, when 5 plants or less are being found it is assumed that you are
    not growing for business purposes. You will not be taken to court but your     plants will be destroyed.

 

8. Why don't you sell space cake/space tea?

    It is very hard to know exactly how strong the cake/tea is. Besides that it
    takes up to 45 minutes before you will feel the effect. Most people are not     aware and eat/drink more and therefore the chance you'll overdose
    increases. The effects also last much longer than smoking, between 5 to 12     hours. Effects sometimes can be very intense and unpleasant.

 

9. Is it bad to sit in a room where people smoke marihuana?

    Yes, it is just as bad as sitting in a room where people smoke cigarettes
    because you will inhale tar and carbon monoxide. This is obviously less than     when you'd smoke yourself. In our coffee shops we do everything to decrease     inhaling tar and carbon monoxide. Our coffee shops all have an advanced     system to refresh air and smoking tobacco is only allowed in our special smoking
    lounges.

 

10. Is there a difference in the effect of pot and hash?

      Pot makes you feel "high", active and talkative. Hash will make you feel       relaxed and gives you a heavy feeling. The kind and strength influences the       effect but also cannabidiol, also known as CBD, is a non-psychoactive       cannabinoid found in the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. It is a major       constituent of the plant, representing up to 40% in its extracts. Hash       contains much more cannabidiol than pot.

 

11. What's the difference between hash and pot?

      Pot is made out of dried flower buds from the hennep plant. Those buds       contain resin and the resin contains the effective substance THC. Hash is       being produced of just the resin. Buds are being placed on a sieve and the       resin is being shaken off. The resin is full of oil and when pressed together it       forms a small block. Hash is overall stronger than pot.

 

12. I have never been to a coffee shop before. How do I order?

      You need to be at least 18 years of age if you want to enter a coffee shop.       Basically it is a hospitality establishment like any other. We sell coffee, soda,       juices, toast and, of course, pot and hash. When you buy something make       sure the dealer informs you regarding strength. Know the risks!

 

13. How long can I keep pot good?

      Depending on the way of cultivating: a couple of months up to 2 years. The       way you store your pot is important too, preferably sealed and dark.

 

14. What's the difference between Indica and Sativa?

      There are two recognized types of herbal cannabis, "sativa" and "indica".
      So-called "sativa" strains are reputed to induce a noticeably more "cerebral"       high, while "indica" strains induce more of a body high. These two drug
      types are often hybridized or crossed with early-maturing (but low in THC)       "ruderalis" strains to increase the range in desirable characteristics.

 

15. What should I do if I feel bad after smoking?

      Make sure you never smoke alone. Sit down quietly and relax. Take sugar       and vitamine C. A fresh OJ with sugar works like a charm.

 

16. Can I be sponsored by a coffeeshop?

      No. Dutch law does not allow coffeeshops to sponsor or advertise.

 

17. I have diabetes and I use medication for this, can I still use cannabis?

      Yes, however it is dangerous because by using cannabis you will feel a hypo
      coming less quickly than you would normally. Do you still choose to use cannabis,       consider the following:

      - It is important that you eat enough prior to cannabis use to reduce the risks.
      - Keep in mind that cannabis use often generates appetite (sweets, snacks).
      - Check your blood sugar regularly.
