I think you are correct , according to the founder of Tweede Kamer there were 10 in 1975 , and dozens by the end of the 70s

that's news to me as far as i remember the first coffee shop (called a tea house)opened in 1972 the mellow yellow(not the one open now)on the amstel.
the second first to be called a coffeeshop was opened on rusland 16 in 1974 the 3rd was 1975 bulldog.(They were selling hash at the milkyway before 1972.)
coffeeshops were getting busted and mellow yellow was busted big style 1978.i remember coffeeshops always had the stash in a case that was opened to show you the product and get it out often through a hole in the wall if needed to move it quick.
i got my info from the dutch experiance(30 years of coffeeshop history 1972 2002)
by Nol Van Schaik
i would like to know of any before 1980.
there were hash dealers everywhere in 1981 on every corner in the centre no sensi nederweed it was all hash or imported grass then.
As far as i know the boom was 1985 to 1996 when they were finally licenced.
A lot were closed late 90s and has been quite stable since in numbers.
i recommend the book.
so please i would love to know of any before 1980
thanks all
good luck
