420 Café, Barney’s Breakfast Bar, the Greenhouse, Coffeeshop Pinkfloyd and Stix are among some of the most popular coffeeshops in Amsterdam – though there are certainly plenty from which to choose.
In the cafés, marijuana is smoked in rolled cigarettes (“joints”), pipes or water pipes (“bongs”). strongest varieties of Cannabis are the Indicas and Sativas varieties. Sativas, which typically clear the mind and produce an energetic high, include the Haze, Swazi and Thai strains. Indicas, which typically cloud the mind, slow the body’s reactions and create a dizzy sensation, include the Afghani, Northern Lights and Shiva strains.
There are many other strains under the Indicas and Sativas categories and all can create different effects. Many people prefer to smoke some type of hybrid between Indicas and Sativas.
