If you’re in search of a truly “authentic” Amsterdam coffee shop experience, definitely hit up The Dampkring. As well as having great drinks, their cannabis strains are amazing. The staff is super welcoming, which is ideal for first-timers. It’s also world-famous thanks to the crew from Ocean’s 12, who spent time here while shooting.
Insider tip: In addition to coffee shops, you’ll also come across places called “smart shops.” These places sell some of the safest psilocybin dosing (hallucinogenic mushrooms). Since their “truffles” are processed mushrooms, not the raw variety, their dosing is very precise. If you’re new to mushrooms, it’s a good idea to avoid drinking earlier in the day before trying them.
