TOP 3 AMSTERDAM COFFEESHOPS FOR CBD PRODUCTS

Amsterdam will spoil you for choice when it comes to CBD products. According to the Amsterdam Coffeeshop Awards, here are the top three coffeeshops to visit to get your hands on some killer CBD-rich cannabis:

JOHNNY

Coffeeshop Johnny Amsterdam - Best CBD Products

Operating in Amsterdam since 1991, the team at Johnny has seen the city’s cannabis scene evolve and change like crazy, and their ability to keep up with the times is what makes this one of the best coffeeshops in the city. Expect a warm, friendly vibe, a modern interior, and some of the best CBD products Amsterdam has on offer.

VOYAGERS

Voyagers Coffeeshop Amsterdam - Best CBD Products

Located directly under the Voyager Hotel in the Centrum, Voyagers’ location is pretty hard to top. While it’s a small space, Voyagers Coffeeshop gets a lot of great reviews for its friendly service and the quality of its products, including its line of CBD-rich strains.

BOEREJONGENS

Boerejongens Coffeeshop Amsterdam - Best CBD Products

Boerejongens has made its way onto multiple lists this year, and with good reason; these coffeeshops have completely revolutionised the coffeeshop scene, offering their customers an upmarket experience with professional, tailored service. Buying weed from a Boerejongens is often compared to buying a bottle of red from a wine boutique.

Boerejongens exclusively stocks products from Amsterdam Genetics, one of the city’s leading seedbanks. For CBD flower, make sure to try out Green Magic CBD, which boasts a sweet, earthy chocolate flavour and 9% CBD. Meanwhile, if you’re looking for edibles, we highly recommend trying the SupMedi CBD Gummies and CBD Wunderbar.

CBD — UNDERSTANDING THE HYPE

The CBD boom has taken over countless industries across the world. From food and drink to cosmetics, CBD comes in many different forms, including:

CBD OIL

CBD Oil

CBD oil has become one of the primary ways to administer the cannabinoid. These products combine CBD extract (usually derived via CO₂ extraction) with a carrier oil like olive oil or hemp seed oil, and come with a dropper for easy dosing. CBD oils have become very popular because they are versatile and super easy to administer.

CBD CAPSULES

CBD capsules deliver CBD oil in single capsules for even easier dosing and a slower release. Unlike oil drops, which are absorbed under the tongue and take effect in roughly 15 minutes, CBD capsules are swallowed and absorbed via the GI tract for a slower, steadier release of CBD that lasts longer.

CBD CRYSTALS

CBD Crystals 99% Pure (Zamnesia)

CBD crystals are relatively new and provide up to 99% pure CBD. They can be added to edibles, oils, or cosmetics, giving users freedom and versatility like never before. For an extra-fast onset, you can also take these crystals by themselves directly under the tongue.

CBD COSMETICS/TOPICALS

Topical CBD products deliver cannabinoids directly to receptors in the skin (Mounessa et al., 2017). There are many different types of topicals out there, including creams, lotions, balms, and more. Besides promoting the overall vitality of your skin, CBD cosmetics are being studied for their potential to relieve symptoms like itching (Hammell et al., 2015) and inflammation (Tóth et al., 2019).

CBD EDIBLES

Edibles, like capsules, deliver CBD to the system via the GI tract. However, CBD edibles usually offer an even slower release of CBD because they take longer to break down. This makes them ideal for people who want long-lasting effects from a single dose.

CBD FLOWER

Flower is super old-school. However, those of you who love smoking will agree that nothing quite compares to toking on a joint or blunt. CBD flower can be enjoyed just like regular cannabis flower, but it won’t leave you stoned out of your mind.

CBD VAPE CARTRIDGES

Vaping is a huge trend, and the CBD industry has kept up by offering pre-loaded CBD vape cartridges compatible with a variety of pens. CBD absorbed as vapor via the lungs offers one of the fastest onsets, making vape cartridges ideal for dosing on the go during the day.

CBD CONCENTRATES

CBD concentrates come in many different forms and are sold under many different names, including shatter, budder, wax, and more. These extracts are usually made using solvents like butane to extract CBD from cannabis buds, and then refined to concentrations of up to 90%.
