Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

the upstairs mezzanine approach involves a treacherous climb (and subsequent buttock clenching descent when baked) You've omitted to mention that it is designed to accommodate gnomes, judging from the height of its ceiling, and I'm speaking as a dwarf. I shudder to think how you managed, as a relat...

Both this shop and the seed shop next door looked very closed when I passed by last week. They're either undergoing major renovations or shut permanently.

Latest menu:

Latest menu; sharp-eyed stoners will notice the addition of a sour diesel, which for some reason isn't all that common here, or I've missed it. I still haven't tried the Kashmir. Kill me now.

Boreojongens/Bij and The Kashmir CS/Lounge Combo are all certainly open - they're a stones throw away. Your stone-throwing abilities are impressive. Overtoom and Kinkerstraat are two streets where bikes come into their own. For a pedestrian (and I've done them) they're a bit dull after the first ti...

I've stayed there quite a few times, and mostly liked it -- well, I wouldn't go back if I didn't, would I? It's conveniently located over a supermarket, and handy for all sorts of interesting places. The last time I went, though, a couple of years back, standards seemed to have slipped -- my room wa...

In the end I think I ended up chancing across Kadinsky Funny that. Kadinsky is still one of my blind spots -- I can never remember which is which, or where exactly they are. Sure, I can look it up, but it won't stick, like the difference between a second cousin and a cousin once removed, or the ord...

In my early trips, I rarely ventured out of the centre -- anything beyond the Singelgracht was here be dragons territory. And although I had a fair idea what where in the centre, I doubt if I could have named many streets or given coherent directions. I introduced any number of people to the city, w...

If you're using 'British' in the sense of a pointless legal fiction, the way you used to have to order food at certain times of day in the UK in order to get a drink, you're probably right. My impression is that the law gave them an excuse to close down a few coffeeshops without affecting the city a...

one thing that confuses me, is that there is a school right by here, but they are open in the day, not complaining, just a bit confused the haven't had to close or open outside school hours That surprised me as well, but apparently the law only applies to secondary schools, because the pupils might...

First coffeeshop I ever went to a few weeks ago. Saw it, then smelled it :) It was so weird to see people just hanging out, everyone stoned. I went in, told the dealer I wanted something that wasn't TOO strong so I could still get my shit done in a new place. He recommended the Red Hair, 12.5 for 2...

Not sure what you mean by a visa. As an EU citizen, one is required to register with the authorities, which requires proof of residency and a job. Getting either of those requires registration with the authorities. There are ways of getting out of this particular Catch-22, and I managed it when I li...

some hard to find quality smokes like Gorilla Glue #4. I've seen it all over, though whether any individual example is worth the hype I can't say. At Betty Boop the budtender said it was overrated, and recommended something else; I've got some here for the first time from Utopia, and though it's de...

Since the school for spoilt brats went wherever it went, I certainly find the atmosphere a lot better in that part of town. Of the shops affected, I personally only went to Utopia and Resin, with the latter mainly for B&F, but even so it's nice to have the choice back. And Utopia has always been...

If you're a wet sand fan, you'll love the Dam as it's been for my last few visits. But at the risk of being consigned to the ranks of the uncircumcised philistines, I like good black hash. Dampkring2/TK's blue somethingorother have been one of the few around lately, though they did also have a Nepal...
