As an expatriate living in Amsterdam, I can honestly say that hardly any locals frequent these places. With of course the exception of Trinity. To anyone visiting Amsterdam I would recommend Dutch Flowers in the 9 block area and there are several extremely relaxed places in Amsterdam-Zuid. The southern part of the city away from the center but not far by any standards is where the more affluent people live. There you will find the best coffee shops with locals and more consistent music. Abraxas is indeed a very nice place and I've been there many times. If you're in the center, I would also recommend a coffee shop (sorry I can't remember the name!) next to the Amsterdam Grand Sofitel on Oudezijds Voorburgwal. In the summer the entire front of the shop opens up and the view to the canal where you can watch people walk by is fantastic.

I live here. Grey Area, Barneys, and Resin are frequented by the locals for their superior products. Your list sucks; you copied it out of some guidebook full of tourist traps. Resin has the best hash in Holland and Barneys and Grey Area have the best weed in Amsterdam. If you're in town and have time, I suggest the train to Rotterdam, a 35 minute ride, the exact same weed can be bought significantly cheaper at the coffee shops there and the city was bombed out during WWII and rebuilt in the 50's and 60's. It looks like they were high when they rebuilt it.
