The History of Coffeeshops in Amsterdam
The history of Amsterdam coffeeshops dates back to the early 1970s, when the Dutch government made a groundbreaking distinction between soft drugsand hard drugs. Unlike cafés or bars, coffeeshops in Amsterdam are licensed venues where the sale and use of small amounts of cannabis are tolerated under strict conditions.
Everything began in the 1970s counterculture era, as the city’s hippy community grew. Popular music venues like Paradiso and Melkweg became hotspots where people gathered to enjoy live music and share joints. While weed and hash were still illegal at the time, authorities quietly tolerated small-scale dealing within these venues to reduce the growing heroin crisis.
In 1972, Amsterdam’s first official coffeeshop, Mellow Yellow, opened its doors. Operating under the guise of a “tea house,” it became the first place where cannabis could be purchased and smoked openly though still technically illegal. The success of Mellow Yellow laid the foundation for the modern coffeeshop model.
By prioritizing harm reduction, the Dutch government created a unique cannabis policy that focused on keeping people away from hard drugs by tolerating the controlled sale of soft drugs. This pragmatic approach made Amsterdam world-famous for its coffeeshops.
Today, coffeeshops continue to operate in a legal grey area but are tolerated under agreements between the Amsterdam city council and the Bond van Cannabis Detaillisten (BCD) the Dutch coffeeshop union. Each licensed coffeeshop must display the official green-and-white sticker, which signifies compliance with local regulations.
