Coffeeshops that Strictly enforce the Tobbacco Smoking Ban
Most coffeeshops have setup a smoking area. In this smoking area, you can smoke tobbacco, marijuana, or hash, or mixed. But you cannot smoke anything at all, outside of this area. In some cases this refers to the internet station for example. Most places have a sign up NO TOBACCO ALLOWED but are not stopping you putting tobacco in your joints unless they see you of course. Obviously don't leave packet of cigarettes on the table.
Some coffeeshops do not allow tobbacco under any circumstances. These include:
1. Coffeeshop Central, small place, great space cakes though, try them. As it is a small shop, it is easy for them to check.
2. Hill Street Blues coffeeshop on Nieuwmarkt have a sign requesting all customers "Before sealing your joints please to get a member of staff to check it to make sure it's tobacco free".
3. The Doors. I was there and noticed the bud tender telling patrons no tobbacco allowed after they started to use tobbacco in their Marijuana joint.
If you have any updates to this, please email them to: Adamster@yahoo.com
