Put your coffeeshop on the map with cannabizzz

No. The AHOJG "A" criterion prohibits coffeeshops from actively advertising their establishment or cannabis products — for example through billboards, flyers, or promotional campaigns. Being listed on an independent information platform is not considered advertising by the coffeeshop. We publish factual, publicly available information. Your shop is not running a promotion — it is simply being found where visitors are already looking.

Not at all. Multiple independent platforms have listed Dutch coffeeshops for over two decades, including Greenmeister, Weeview, DutchCoffeeshops.com, and the Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory (online since 1998). These platforms operate openly and without legal issues. Cannabizzz follows the same model: providing factual information to help visitors make informed decisions.

The "A" in AHOJG stands for "Affichering" — which translates to posting or displaying advertisements. It means coffeeshops may not place advertisements, promotional posters, or marketing campaigns for cannabis or their shop. A small indication on the façade of the shop itself is permitted. The rule targets active promotional efforts by the coffeeshop, not third-party information published independently.

No. Your coffeeshop continues to operate exactly as before, following all AHOJG criteria and your municipal license conditions. Cannabizzz simply displays factual information about your shop — your name, location, hours, and menu. You are not placing an advertisement; you are managing the accuracy of your own listing on an independent platform.

Municipal enforcement focuses on the coffeeshop operator's own compliance with the AHOJG criteria. An independent third-party platform publishing factual business information falls outside the scope of those operator obligations. No Dutch municipality has taken action against coffeeshops for appearing on information platforms, which have existed since the late 1990s.

We display factual, non-promotional information: your shop name, address, opening hours, menu with strains and prices, visitor reviews, and Google Maps location. This is the same type of information found on Google Business, TripAdvisor, or Yelp for any other business. We do not create promotional content or advertising campaigns on your behalf.

Yes. The AHOJG advertising ban (the "A" stands for Affichering, no advertising) applies to coffeeshops actively promoting themselves, not to third-party platforms listing them. Our premium profiles are not advertisements. They are business tools that give coffeeshop owners access to enhanced features like photo galleries, menu management, an analytics dashboard, and priority support. This is the same model used by platforms like TripAdvisor and Thuisbezorgd, where businesses pay for tools and enhanced visibility rather than advertising. The coffeeshop is paying for a service, not placing an ad, which keeps everything fully compliant with Dutch tolerance policy.
