Cheap Weed in Amsterdam: The 2026 Price Guide

Inflation Has Hit, But Deals Exist

It's no secret that Amsterdam has become more expensive. In 2026, the average price for a gram of premium haze can easily top €16.00 in the center. However, if you know where to look, you can still find amazing value.

1. The Magic of 'Gruis' (Shake)

One of the best-kept secrets is Gruis (or Shake). This is the small bits of flower that fall off the main buds. It is essentially a 'salad' of different strains.

• Why buy it? It's significantly cheaper (often €6.00 - €8.00 per gram) and usually quite potent since it's a mix of top-shelf leftovers.
• Where to find it? Ask for the 'Gruis' or 'Shake' deal at shops like Siberie or Katsu.

2. Venture Outside the Center

Shops in the Red Light District pay massive rents, and those costs are passed on to you. By taking a 10-minute tram ride to neighborhoods like De Pijp or Oost, prices drop dramatically.

• De Pijp: Check out Katsu for fair prices and a great art-gallery vibe.
• Oost: The Stud is legendary for having some of the most competitive prices in the city for old-school strains like White Widow and Amnesia.

3. Buy in Bulk (5 Gram Deals)

Legally, you can buy up to 5 grams per day. Many shops offer a discount if you max out your allowance. For example, a gram might be €12, but 5 grams could be selling for €50 flat—saving you €10.

4. Avoid Pre-Rolled Joints

Pre-rolls are convenient, but they are undeniably the most expensive way to consume. You are paying for the rolling service and often for tobacco mixed in. Buying a gram of flower and a €1 pack of cones is always cheaper and tastier.
