There are over 300 coffee shops in Amsterdam. They are licensed to sell small amounts of soft drugs, mostly cannabis. You can also get coffee there (but no alcohol). A strict minimum age of 18 is enforced in coffee shops. In practice, the possession of up to 30 grams (about an ounce) is permitted. You can only buy 5 grams at a time.
