how old do you have to be to smoke weed in the coffee shops in Amsterdam?
me and a few friends are going to amsterdam and want to go to the coffee shops!,,how old do you have to be?,,does a fake id work??
Well as you are obviously are aware (by the fake ID note) it is 18 to be able to smoke or purchase weed in a coffeeshop. Not only that - you have to be 18 to enter one as well.
Yes the chances are you will get ID checked.Due to clampdowns by the local council, coffeeshop owners are more and more cautious to protect their licences and therefore do not allow underage persons on the premisis
Fake ID's - well I guess it depends on what the ID is and how good the quality is. As per Dutch law you are required to carry around offical ID e.g. national ID card (offical government issued) or passport - so coffeeshop staff, if in doubt will request this if you start issuing bogus (e.g.) University cards with DOB info. If you have a good forgery of a passport or a drivining licence or ID card then fine, it would work - but otherwise not. However, ask yourself if you really want to run the risk of carrying forged ID!
If this is the be-all and end-all to your visit to Amsterdam, then just get an 18 year old to go with you, buy the stuff and smoke it somewhere quiet.

How Coffee Shops Differ From Restaurants and Cafés
Also frequently known as coffeehouses, coffee shops are the cozy locals where you go to have a good cup of coffee either with some friends or on your own, so as to quietly read a newspaper. Coffee shops differ from restaurants and cafés, since they predominantly offer a variety of coffee and tea, without serving anything else out of this range. Coffee shops are to be found anywhere on the globe, from the Western world to the Muslim and the extreme East, as they reflect more than just a consumer mentality, they actually function as social life centers, where people talk, write, or pass their spare time in the most appealing of environments.
Coffee shops are great places where people underage can gather and have fun listening to live or recorded music, they way they wouldn't be able to do in some bar; the atmosphere is absolutely great and most coffee shops feel like cozy places where everybody is at home. The specificity of a regular coffee shops differs from one part of the of the world to another: alcohol is served in some such establishments, not to mention that Amsterdam coffee shops are also pretty comfortable with cannabis free use.
Going to coffee shops for a birthday party or a funny evening with your friends could be a great idea. As paradoxical as it may seem, though caffeine is said to cause insomnia, most people who attend such establishments order all sorts of strong coffees particularly in the evening; 9 o'clock in the evening is the right time to gather for a flavored drink and some good live music. Whether it is jazz or blues, music and coffee go very well together; some locals even have an Arabian specific in both decorations and the type of music they play which adds up to the exoticism of the house.
One thing to be tried in coffee shops is Turkish coffee, which is one of the specialties, actually some coffee experts claim that you can label a coffee house after the quality of Turkish coffee they serve. Furthermore, ultra modern facilities combine the coffee shop destination with the wi-fi interest of young generations: this combination actually resulted in the appearance of the hybrid coffee shops that also function as Internet cafés. The phenomenon has spread to such an extent that presently, all respectable coffee shops also provide Internet access to the interested customers.
