When you think of Amsterdam, you might immediately think of cannabis. It is true that the Netherlands is known for the legalisation of cannabis, but in Amsterdam it is mostly tourists who like to smoke a joint. If you want to learn more about the use of cannabis for both recreational and medicinal purposes, the Cannabis College on Oudezijds Achterburgwal 124 is worth a visit. Here you will get information on the use and regulation of cannabis in the Netherlands. An active cannabis cultivation can be found in the basement of the building. The Cannabis College is free to enter, so feel free to come in and learn more about this phenomenon. Please note that although cannabis has been legalised in the Netherlands, rules and restrictions still apply. More information on the Dutch tolerance policy can be found in the attached excerpt.
