The Dutch are famously tolerant of cannabis use, permitting consumption and sales in small cafés known as “coffeeshops.” Many people from around the world have visited Amsterdam and been inspired to work toward freedom for all fans of cannabis after observing commonsense Dutch policy. Responsible marijuana users want to be treated like customers, not criminals, and the Dutch have proven that such a system can work.
If you can’t make the pilgrimage just yet, why not bring the coffeeshop experience home with this Amsterdam-inspired hash-infused hot cocoa? A favorite in the finest coffeeshops, including one beloved but now defunct gem, Coffeeshop Chocolata, nothing warms the soul on a chilly night in the Netherlands like a sweet blend of high-quality chocolate and high-grade hash. Formerly located on the Spui, Coffeeshop Chocolata specialized in scrumptious edibles and a hash hot chocolate that would send you out into the rain with a blissed-out smile on your face. Chocolata simply melted its already amazing hash truffles into its equally amazing hot chocolate, but this saves you all the trouble of making truffles.
