If anything, cannabis seems like a much better (and more profitable) drug around which to build a leisurely establishment.

      They are usually not very cozy though since they are barely legal and they don’t want to get too much attention.

        Some coffeeshops have men with purple hats standing in front, essentially advertising the place. Not to mention all the big signs saying this is a coffeshop, with customers sitting outside on benches and smoking weed in plain sight. It’s definitely possible to find coffeeshops with boardgames, although they are not very popular, since I guess most tourists aren’t into that, and most locals can just smoke and play boardgames at home.

        Since I’m getting downvoted here: what I wrote is based on my experience in the Zuid Holland region. It might be different in other places of the Netherlands.
