Good points: it's easy to find (just go out of the railway station, head left, then you can't miss it), & has a wide range of reasonably-priced smokes. I myself enjoyed an excellent ready-rolled Super Skunk there last year.
Bad point: Really the only one is that the music played there (hard trance/dance etc) is too loud & gets irritating after about 5 minutes. Plus I wouldn't say the decor is all that pleasant but that's such a minor qualm it's not even important, as I don't visit coffeeshops to admire the interior design.
Overall, it's a decent place, & I'm definitely considering visiting Future again aswell as my other favourites & one or two shops I haven't tried yet, when I go to Ver Dam on May 31st. |

the future is a nice place if you wanna get some weed
but i think the drniks are a little bit expensive compared to the other nice shops in the city
but they have the great skuff-mix and thats really great

Future seems to be unfairly overlooked. A small shop with a nice view of the Old Harbor from the window seats, it seems frequented mainly by locals. The interior is nothing special but it is comfortable and there was always a table to be found. Nice dealer and although a limited menu, top notch stuff at reasonable prices.
Highly enjoyed the White Widow. First stop within an hour of arriving, after a nice fat one I spent the next two hours with incredible visuals that were almost mushroom quality. Welcome to Amsterdam... Fantastic!
This was a regular stop being within crawling distance of the apartment and I highly recommend it as a good visit. |

| Good to see Future getting a mention. They also have some very nice Jack Herer last time I went and the musics improved. A very spacious shop on 2 levels and Ive always managed 2 get a table, probably because this shop is mostly overlooked but the staff are friendly and the weed is good and I always try and get here at least once when I visit the dam |

The Good Doctor is bang on, Future is certainly over-looked, despite being one of the best-placed coffeeshops in A`Dam in relation to the train station, Red Light District etc.
It was the 1st shop I ever went to in A`Dam & for that reason alone it will always be special to me, even though I don't like the music played there! I prefer Future to Central anyday, though Central has a fantastic choice of weed, the shop itself is just too small & uncomfortable for my liking. |

Does this shop have a little upstairs bit overlooking the rest of the shop? If so I've been once but it was a fair few years ago, I might pop in over christmas while I'm stocking up on Centrals €25 deals!!

| That's the one Boner. There is no sign identifying it as Future, just a neon Coffeshop sign in the window. It's barely another 200 steps past Central, facing the Sea Palace restaraunt. Even if Central is your choice for a buy, Future is worth a visit if you can't find a seat. Nice view from the window seats too, less hectic than Central. |

Cool, at least I can vote with a opinion, I remember buying a skunk mix from there which was a few skunks ground up together very sweet taste from what I remember, I'll definitly pop in over xmas for a chill!

Central is not actually that good! 
They have a fantastic location to attract tourists which they readily abuse by selling underweight bags of moderately good weed.
The €25 for 4g may seem like a good deal, but don't be fooled - the quality and weight (or lack of!) can actually be bettered/matched elswhere in town!!!
When you get off the train don't head straight for Central, just a minute or so around the corner you'll find Future as well as plenty of other non rip-off joints...

| Yeah I agree dude, although i`ve never had any problem with underweight bags at central I do prefer future, its a chilled out hang out with some qulity smokables without all the hustle and bustle thats happenin in central. |

Not sure if Future has closed down or just for vacation, but the shutters have been down for the last couple of days when i've ridden past...

| If it wasn't for the underweight bags issue at central i would go there in this area. But i personally think the herb at future is much better than that of central, the white widow i got there was the best white widow i got on that trip. Although the music did suck, but it was R'n'B and the like not the heavy trance, i do much prefer the rock tun-ige in central, but purely for the bud i go to future instead. |
