1st Trip to Amsterdam :)
Honestly not much
Most ive come across have to much tobacco in em and unless the budtender says otherwise they usually use the dust they have left over.
But a pure one is a different matter
as long as u know what it is and its not just all the leftovers from all the green they have. I prefer to D.I.Y myself then i cant blame anyone if it comes out crap

6gar it is possible to smoke tobacco spliffs in SOME coffeeshops. With the relatively recent tobacco smoking ban, you will see some shops that say no tobacco. If that is the case, only pure joints are allowed. Please check on a case by case basis. The most sure way of knowing is to simply ask the budtender, they are at most times very friendly and willing to provide you with information.
Also, I have never seen a coffeeshop that is 21 years old to enter. I do believe in the possibility that I am wrong however. It has been a year since I was in the Grey Area and things might have changed. Last I checked though, and I am 95% sure, all coffeeshops are 18 to enter.
Having an ID that says you're 18 and acting experienced, you won't have a problem. I'm sure that if your friend was just barely 18 and acted a fool in the shop, they would have rather him leave. Just act mature and show your ID with your head up.
For Pre-rolled joints, it again depends on the coffeeshop. Some places offer pure joints (Greenhouse Centrum I'm looking at you) that are nice. The joints are usually made with shake (the bottom of a batch of weed) and are not as good quality buds as you would get if you bought by the gram and rolled the joint yourself.
If you don't know how to roll a joint, ask a friendly tourist. I'd be happy to show you (I'm in town 29-6, don't know if that matches). Also, you can buy automatic joint rollers from every headshop / paraphenelia shop in town. They make rolling a joint VERY easy

holy by the time you go i think you will have asked every question you could. many of which are described in much detail on this forum.
anywho i hope you have a great trip.
for the hash shake or space cake the effects are generally more intense than just smoking. if your not a heavy smoker start off with small dosages and work your way up. if your a heavy smoker it will depend on where you get your product and how strong it is. i smoke more than the average person i think and i have yet to notice an effect from any spacecake i have tried in amsterdam. the hash milk shake i did and that was at abraxas. i believe now you have to buy your own hash and buy your own milkshake and mix it yourself. they do not mix it for you and serve it ready to go. by doing this you can also control how much hash you want to put in. im sure the budtender will have some suggestions for you.
