Amsterdam is famous for its canals, its red light district and its coffeeshops, where one can buy and smoke cannabis! During The Cannabis Cup, which takes place annually in the city, all things marijuana-related are celebrated.

Holland's liberal attitude towards soft drugs attracts people from all over the world, who feel that this is a place where they have a more relaxed kind of life, even if it's just for a weekend. Thousands of visitors to this beautiful city make a beeline for one of its 400 coffeeshops in order to legally purchase and smoke marijuana.

In celebration of cannabis and all its related businesses, High Times magazine holds The Cannabis Cup. During the event the coffeeshops get an opportunity to show off their wares as they compete in categories such as best marijuana, hashish, seed store and best hemp products. Visitors can see new hemp fashions and sample food from hemp burgers to cheese. Smoking paraphernalia of all descriptions is on sale. There's hemp jewellery, hemp oils and cosmetics and hemp hats - you name it, they make it from hemp.
