Amsterdam is known for having a soft corner towards drugs. That makes it only obvious to have a museum dedicated to this controversial aspect of society. The Hash, Marihuana & Hemp Museum, in particular, attracts many curious visitors from around the world.

The Hash, Marihuana & Hemp Museum offers visitors an insight into the history that precedes the modern recreation-drug of today. It also showcases the different uses that cannabis and hemp served in earlier times such as various medicinal, cultural and religious purposes. Through the ages, cannabis and hemp have become one of the most versatile and renewable resources ever known to mankind.
