What we do...


Our non-profit foundation, Cannabis College Amsterdam, teaches the public from the centre of a worldwide debate. Although we are not actually a real College our name was chosen to project an image of self-education.

Currently people from all nationalities and cultures are discussing the medical, nutritional, industrial and recreational uses of hemp and Cannabis. While many of these debates occur on a political level, the results and content concern and affect all of us. Unfortunately, the political aspects involve our ability to use our freedom of choice; whether the issue is environmental concerns, natural medicine or simply an organic way to relax.

The goal of the Cannabis College Amsterdam is to provide you with correct, objective information about the Cannabis sativa L. plant.

The Cannabis College is nestled into two floors of a registered 17th Century canal house, itself a monument in the heart of Amsterdam's Red Light District. Admission is free and all are welcome here, whether or not you are a Cannabis user. Recreational users are taught how to avoid dangerous chemicals, for example, while medical patients learn how to use the vaporiser instead of smoking.

Our volunteers gladly help our visitors to educate themselves and spread truthful info to their children’s children. With many new developments in the medical world, social and industrial advances, and a constant fresh wave of politicians on the horizon, we feel it is our duty to provide you with the information you need. The time has come to update global knowledge, surely our best defence against the War on Drugs.

The friendly staff of volunteers encourages visitors to debate openly and share their opinions as we are always receptive to new ideas. To supplement verbal information the College hosts vibrant displays of up-to-date medical research on Cannabis, the highest quality hemp products, most current information regarding Cannabis legislation around the world, plus much, much more.
