I.D. in amsterdam coffee shops!

Discussion in 'Seasoned Marijuana Users' started by ScoobySnacks420, Dec 20, 2009.

  1. Well, maybe someone can help me here whos been to the dam before, but how strict are they on identification in the coffee shops? And would they need certain types of ID like a passport or can any ID work? Because I mean they obviously have a lot of tourists with all sorts of foriegn ID..

    Cheers!
     
  2. i'm from the uk so i just had a passport, but they pretty much asked to see them everywhere we went. i think there were only one or two places where they just didn't ask; and actually i think one place where they asked us and then we spent a while scrabbling round in our bags but i guess we were both really stoned because i think we just forgot... hahahaha, i don't really remember. ANYWAY, i don't know for sure, but i assume you need an ID recognised as a valid form of identification. you could always google it and see what comes up. driver's license would probably do the trick.


    but how are you going to get there without a passport anyway? with a visa or something?
     
  3. Yes, they are very strict about IDs. They ask for a passport at almost every place you go unless you look like you're in your mid-twenties.
     
  4. how the hell are you planing to go to amsterdam and your not 18
     
  5. every single coffee shop i went to asked for i.d. except for one or two.. keep in mind i was there for a week and went to at least 3 coffee shops a day that's 19 outta 21 that i.d. still you only gotta be 18 bring a drivers license, health card, passport or any other piece of PHOTO ID.. fakes would work there most likely
     
  6. He didn't say he didn't have ID, he wants to know how prepared he needs to be to provide it.
     
  7. when i went to a-dam i never got asked for ID. my friend and i are both 20, but we both look older. Just depends if you're an 18yr old with a beard, or some looking like you're 15. I'd expect you get served some places, just don't go to the most tourist popular spots.
     
  8. was there about 30 days ago, no id check at all in the 5 shops i went to. I can't imagine the shops i went to giving a shit about id....they're selling weed...not really the type of people to give a crap
     
  9. Just saying if your underage, fake ID's do work there, my mate was 17 and went with a fake I.D. worked every time (his card said he was 22).
     
  10. I (and 2 friends) were in A-Dam 13 yrs. ago for a week and we didn't get asked one time out of approx. 15 different shops and approx. 10 different bars and a few titty bars. (one place had a guy and a girl banging right on stage for all to observe) At the time I probably looked 21 (I had a crankin' goatee). But they might have been more relaxed about it all back then. Hey do they still have shrooms (not the dealers on the street) for purchase anywhere? Back then there were these stores that sold bongs, pipes, torches, everything for smoking. And they sold mushrooms too. I really want to visit A-Dam again soon.
     
  11. Shrooms were made illegal to sell, due to some accidents involving tourists.
     
  12. hey dude

    ive been to dam 8 times in the past 10 years and ive been asked for id about 4 times in the coffee shops not all the time.. but take id with u dude just in case ;)
     
  13. i was there for two days and was so blasted in the dam, that i got to the airport an hour late....because i didn't know there was a time change between london and there..yeah..blasted
     
  14. Okay cool! Cheers people!
     
  15. i just came back from the dam and me and my friends got asked for our IDs 20-30% of the time. we're all 19 or 20 and dont really look older than we are.
     
  16. I'm 16 and I have a British passport is there any way I can photocopy or change my DOB and show them paper or does it have to be a real passport or card!!?

    You must be 18 or older to be a member of Grasscity. Come back in 2 years - IgnorantFool
     
  17. Real ID. They are very strict on ID in most places since the government began to clamp down on them. Just wait til your 18th birthday and take advantage of being able to drink at 16 legally there.
     
  18. Not only hasn't the OP not been here in 4 years You're under 18.
