Amsterdam Smartshops

Amsterdam drug laws

The Netherlands, although a signatory to the international conventions about combating drugs, have a tolerant approach to the drug abuse, treating it more as a health matter similar to the alcohol abuse or smoking of the tobacco. The Dutch perceive addictions as much wider issue, pointing to addiction to prescriptions medicines, addiction to to gambling or to the modern video games addiction. The Dutch policy of not to prosecuting the minor drug offences, and not enforcing some the existing laws regarding the sale of small quantities cannabis (marijuana), is unique comparing even to the most tolerant countries in the world.

Smart shops are selling herbal i.e. smart drugs, named because they were supposed to stimulate the mind and improve memory. These include energy substances like Guarana, Cola nut, relaxation stuff like Skullcap, Valerian or aphrodisiacs Muira Puama, Gingko Biloba, among others. (Ephedra is not legal anymore).

Smart shops in Holland are special - they also sell magic mushrooms. In recent years there has been an explosion of smart shops in Amsterdam, many shops are selling mushrooms, vitamins, weed seeds, grown kits, pipes and various souvenires and arts.
