DrGonzo, where did you hear about an end date for mushroom sales?

Yes, both Rick's Coffeeshop & Rick's Cafe are open.

They were closed for a week or two during the winter, most likely for holiday.

Monday 28 April 2008 The cabinet’s promised ban on the sale of hallucinogenic mushrooms is set to come in before the summer, the Volkskrant reports on Monday.

but spain, cannabis, legal??? whats the score? :? In Spain, possession in small quantities, of all drugs, for personal use is legal. Yes, this includes hard drugs too. No it's not!

Great trip reports. Glad you enjoyed a couple of my favorite non coffeeshop places in Amsterdam, the Melkweg & De Bolhoed. I've seen the Dropkick Murphys several times in Amsterdam and they were great shows.

I'll try to make at least 1 of the Amsterdam meets.

address is Haarlemmerstraat 102

Nice article on the Melkweg. Has been a favorite of mine since I first went in 1973. The max room expanded about a year ago and now has a capacity of around 1,500. Also the Melkweg stays open to 4AM on Thursday night and 5AM on Friday & Saturday nights. And if you are already inside for an earli...
