Not only <strong>a small store with few responsibilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some Amsterdam smartshops also have an Internet presence and online stores.<\/p>\n<p>To be sure of finding the right Smartshop in Amsterdam, I recommend you visit stores like Kokopelli or Tatanka.

So be careful and don't take too much. It's best to start slowly and gradually increase the dose.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc145846309\"><\/a><strong>What herbs and plants can you find in smartshops?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On site, you can find products such as :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Guarana<\/li>\n<li>Kola nut<\/li>\n<li>Skullcap<\/li>\n<li>Valerian<\/li>\n<li>The bilobed ginkgo<\/li>\n<li>Ginseng<\/li>\n<li>Sage<\/li>\n<li>Hop extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Smartshops in Amsterdam can sometimes be likened to <strong>apothecary stores.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc145846310\"><\/a><strong>The Dutch approach to drug abuse<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Although the Netherlands is a signatory to the international anti-drug conventions, it has <strong>a tolerant approach to drug abuse.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The subject is treated more as a health issue similar to alcohol abuse or smoking.<\/p>\n<p>The Dutch perceive addiction as a much broader problem, pointing to addiction to prescription drugs, gambling or video games.<\/p>\n<p>The Dutch have a policy of not prosecuting minor drug offences and not enforcing certain laws. <strong>existing laws concerning the sale of small quantities of cannabis.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You'll find plenty of Smartshops in Amsterdam.
