Space cake is one of Amsterdam’s most famous cannabis edibles. Instead of smoking or vaping cannabis, space cake is eaten and digested, which creates a slower, longer-lasting and often stronger-feeling experience.
At Paradox Coffeeshop in Amsterdam, our homemade space cake is known for its simple ingredients, consistent quality and clear THC information. Each complete slice contains a declared 120mg THC and is made using 0.5 gram of cannabis flower.
If you are planning to try space cake in Amsterdam, it is important to understand what it is, how it works and how to consume it responsibly.

What is space cake?
Space cake is a cannabis-infused edible, usually made as a cake, brownie or baked treat. It contains cannabinoids such as THC, the compound responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis.
Unlike smoking cannabis, where effects can be felt quickly, space cake must pass through the digestive system first. This means the effects take longer to begin, but they can also last much longer.
How does space cake work?
When you eat space cake, your body processes THC through the digestive system and liver. During this process, THC is converted into 11-hydroxy-THC, which can feel stronger and longer-lasting than inhaled cannabis.
This is why space cake should be approached carefully, especially by first-time visitors or people with low tolerance.
How long does space cake take to work?
Space cake commonly takes 30 to 90 minutes to begin working, but it can take two hours or longer. The timing depends on the person, the amount consumed, metabolism, tolerance and whether you have eaten beforehand.
Do not take more because you do not feel effects immediately. This is the most common mistake with cannabis edibles.
How long do the effects last?
The effects of space cake can last six hours or longer. Some people may feel the effects for 4 to 8 hours, while others may feel them for longer depending on the amount consumed and their individual sensitivity.
Compared with smoking cannabis, edibles usually have a slower onset and a longer duration.
Why choose space cake instead of smoking?
Space cake offers a smoke-free way to experience cannabis. For some visitors, this feels more discreet and comfortable than smoking.
However, edibles are not “lighter” than smoking. They can feel stronger because of the way the body processes THC. That is why patience and responsible use are essential.

Tips for enjoying space cake responsibly
If you are new to space cake, take your time. Ask staff for advice, choose a calm setting and allow enough time for the effects to develop.
Avoid mixing space cake with alcohol or other substances. If the effects feel too strong, stay calm, move to a quiet place, stay with someone you trust and drink something sugary, such as juice or cola. The effects will pass.
Seek urgent medical help if someone loses consciousness, has chest pain, severe confusion or breathing problems.
