Of all the categories in this city this is the most predictable and at the same time the most nocturnal: 150 of the 153 publish their hours, all 150 open on a Sunday, and 142 work past eleven.
The rules behind that are old and precise. The tolerance policy rests on a 1976 amendment to the Opium Act which separated soft from hard drugs. Since 2008 Amsterdam has also applied a distance requirement of 250 metres from secondary schools, which has made a number of premises close or move.
The total has been falling for thirty years: in 1995 there were about 350, by 2020 only 166.
Two things are often reported wrongly. The residence criterion, which admits only residents of the Netherlands, applies in seven municipalities, and Amsterdam is not one of them. What does apply, since 2023, is a ban on smoking in the street in the old centre.
