Do you need a business plan for a pot shop in Amsterdam? Owning a pot shop—or a "coffeeshop", as they're known in Amsterdam—is a pipe dream for many but a reality for few. Competition is stiff and failure rates are high.
There are many things to consider before you open a pot shop in Amsterdam. Location can be critical to the success of your coffeeshop. Your ambiance needs to be unique and your menu needs to be impressive. Most of all, though, you need to be in compliance with Netherlands drug laws. Though the sale of marijuana and hash is technically illegal, Amsterdam pot shop owners are unlikely to be prosecuted so long as they:
• Do not advertise the sale of drugs
• Do not sell "hard drugs", such as acid, heroin or cocaine
• Do not sell more than five grams of "soft drugs" (marijuana, hash) in a single transaction
• Do not permit the smoking of tobacco in the shop
• Do not permit people younger than 18 in the shop
• Do not sell drugs to people younger than 18
• Do not cause a nuisance to the neighborhood
