My husband is really into museums, me not so much, but for 9 euros, you get into two small museums, get to take a free picture you can email to yourself, and get these headset guides that tell you about what you’re looking at. One museum is more about what you can use — production and manufacturing wise with the hemp plant(the part I found interesting as I work in fashion and sometimes do work with it as a raw material). The other side is about hemp and ash and how it’s been used in the past, why it’s illegal or shouldn’t be illegal. We went through it in about an hour, probably less, and that is with my husband listening and reading everything! I’m sure if I weren’t there he could have stayed longer, but in that time, I also had plenty to listen to and look at and did not get bored. Very informational and I would say definitely worth the 9 euros! I would go back again with friends and definitely recommend to others. Also definitely recommend the Cannibis College down the street, those guys are so friendly and knowledgable in there!

I know nothing about hash/hemp except that it smells like skunk. They say weed makes you hungry, philosophical, relaxed, funny and you think everything’s so important and funny. Well, I don’t need this stuff then. I’m not pro-weed but I’m also not anti-weed. I’m anti-people doing stupid things and blaming it on stuff. So, anywho… This is located in the Red Light District — think porn stores, live shows and pot. People coming in and out of this museum seem interestingly chill. They’re pretty much hippies. Why is this illegal in most parts of the US again? They have all sorts of varieties — how they come up with names for each kind is beyond me. they have shampoo, lotions, drinks, seeds, etc. There are lots of restaurants, cafes and pastry shops in this area in case you get contact high… like me. every. single. damn. day. I. was. in Amsterdam.

I like gimmicks. This is no gimmick. Its right on the canal where lots of the hash bars/cafes are located in the Red Light District. If you wanna learn about how hash is used and the benefits as well as being entertained by the dopey tourists that roll through, hit it up. Otherwise, just enjoy a blunt or three and chilllllll…

How cool is that only in Amsterdam… that you’d be able to visit a Hemp Museum. Seeing the look on your friends faces when you tell them about it back home like ur lying! Showcasing information on different types. I spent lots of $$ here however mostly in their gift shop. I love the Hemp Shampoo & Conditioner from here. Was the best leaving my hair full of volume. I think this place is also run’d by Sensiseeds, which they have great products & shops in Amsterdam.

When in Amsterdam… With thousands of hemp related items on display, it is downright educational. And guess what, kids are free. Perhaps they can write a paper for their science class about the medicinal properties and benefits of wacky weed. And yes, there is a gift shop.
