Amsterdam (Cannabis capital)

Amsterdam, often called the "Cannabis capital," is famous for its permissive policies toward cannabis use. The city has designated “coffeeshops” where adults can legally purchase and consume small amounts of cannabis, reflecting its more relaxed approach compared to other countries. This regulation attracts tourists and contributes to the city’s vibrant, liberal reputation. However, cannabis remains technically illegal under Dutch law, but enforcement is lenient within specified limits. Amsterdam’s stance balances regulation with harm reduction, making it a unique global hub for cannabis culture and tourism.
