Re: 1e Hulp Coffeeshop

Nobody's commented on the renovation yet. The multiplicity of charging points is a massive plus, but I'm not sure how much of the rest of it is. I managed to get a picture of Rizla for Twitter. Not for the first time, they weren't open quite at 7. This is probably not a big thing for locals, most of...

Re: Utopia

:shock: :shock: :shock: That menu looks gawddang amazing, both on the weed and hash sides! Did you try the Kashmir hash? That origin / type seems extremely rare (if not non-existent) in Amsterdam, but makes up about 20-30 % of all hashes on offer here (usually of very high quality). Sadly no. Had t...

Re: Central

When I come in here, I suffer from nostalgia. My memories of the place date from 2011, and I owe my knowledge of it to this forum, so likewise, probably. I've never had what I'd consider adulterated weed from here. It can be hit and miss -- just got some NYCD for €10something a g. Was it the best e...

Re: Utopia

The best menu I've seen for ages, and that's saying something. Sorry about poor quality of picture. In terms of bang for your buck, I doubt you'll ever see anything better than the house isolator cocktail. As for the weed, I could have spent a week giving the menu a fair sampling, but that can't be ...

Re: Episode XIIII - Fiets crew, assemble!

It’s practically next door so I pull the crew inside - Nugs knows the BT who happens to be selling ‘dabs’ at €90 to €120 a gram. Firstly - I hate ‘dabs’ being used as a noun. Pet hate - yes I’m a grammar Nazi. Deal with it. We dab BHO, we take a dab, we dab rosin. We DO NOT smoke dabs. Dab is a ver...

Re: La Grotte

Staff aren't overly friendly but then they tend to leave you alone and are not pushy in anyway..so thats also a plus. I've never been in here, so I have no idea of what they're like, but I met two of them when I had to have my morning smoke in the Bulldog, at a table with an American engineer who w...

But even after all this time you never forgot what was important -- this thread. And they say stoners can't remember things.

Re: Smoking friendly Hotels\Hostels Centrum area

Indeed. But in the Dam they range from those that don't really care as long as you're discreet to the ones with locked windows and big signs making it clear that they'd just love to catch you, fine you a few hundred euros and turf you out in the middle of the night. And even with the former, there's...

Re: Smoking friendly Hotels\Hostels Centrum area

I'd only recommend a hovel if your girlfriend is as keen a smoker as you seem to be and wants to blaze from dawn to dusk. Otherwise, it's a false economy. Voyagers will probably be booked, but keep an eye out for cancellations, as it's eminently suitable. Also consider that places like Hotel Abba on...

Re: ACD Mission Barcelona November - all welcome!

Why should Barcelona clubs be any more intimidating than Amsterdam coffeeshops? It's the membership thing, innit? All the various ins and outs of how it works, things not necessarily working out, etc. Add that to not knowing the city (and so wanting to see more of it than smoking clubs), and it sou...

Re: first visit to Holland

Not even at Voyagers, the first time? Even I was, and I look older than all of you by several centuries. Didn't have to show the passport, just that I had it. They do accept driving licences, I seem to remember, though not provisional ones.

Re: ACD Mission Barcelona November - all welcome!

I'd be interested, because I've never actually spent any time in Spain apart from travelling through it, and the clubs sound intriguing if intimidating. But I won't know until much nearer the date if I can. Around the middle of the month, which others seem to be favouring, looks pretty good for chea...

Re: ACD Bike anyone?

IOne is a limit 2800 men's single speed hand brake and pedal brake bike with a back rack and a bell, perfect for nipping around between chores or coffee shops. The other is an 18 speed racing bike with low wrap around handles. It's a lovely idea, but the odds aren't very good on finding them again ...

Re: Barney's Lounge

Sorry you had a bad experience, but it just shows that my resolve never to darken Barney's door was the right one to make. I don't like dismissing things without trying them even once, so that's a distinction I've reserved for that shop, Starbucks and football matches. When people said they didn't m...
