Snow!! Whats that all about then

Looks like we are in for a bout of the white stuff this coming Monday, and I don't mean the stuff that turns you into a wittering arse. Nothing against snow but why oh why oh why when I am due to fly out for Amsterdam at 7 in the morning. Time to put the metal of the 420 community to the test.... Ho...

Just saw the other bit...

I've got my first 2 nights booked at Flying Pig Uptown next Mon and Tues, will let you know what the place is like. It don't wanna be full of a load of young Yankees in baseball hats high fiving every 30 seconds, that could get very tiring!!

Here here... Thursdays at the Melkweg look awesome. Look at the list of albums they have on the website, all killer an no filler IMHO. The thought of kicking back an hearing a a quality soundtrack while surrounded by some local flange and primo budage.....think I just messed me trousers at the thoug...

Hotel Utopia??

Can anyone tell me anything about this place? I have been on the website and there is a coffeeshop downstairs and rooms are only E25 for a single per night, with free breakie!! This seems a bit too good to be true. Can anyone give me a view? Not too fussy about cleanliness but would like an opinion ...

Just stick the gear in the Johnie pocket (that little pocket) of a dirty pair of jeans and put then at the bottom of your bag. You are very unlikely to get a full on drug search and if you do get a full shakedown by the bill then you come over all surprised ie "sorry officer i didn't know it wa...

Golden Soles from GA is well worth investing in, a quality smoke. Don't be put off by the appearence or refusal to crumble, it kicks ass. I found a bit in my bag when I got home last time, smoked it in buckets and was tripping off me face.

Enjoy.

Amsterdam on a budget: 19th to 23rd March

Got back from Amsterdam 3 weeks ago and can't help but feel I didn't get the most out of the trip. As we all know regret is a terrible emotion so I have done the right thing and booked to go back next week. This will be a different trip this time, the first time i have gone to 'dam with a budget fir...

COLD BRRRRRR I have been once in summer and 4 times in winter, definately favour winter. I always feel that the place is far more of a winter city, I can't think of anything worse than sitting in a sweltering hot coffeeshop in the middle of July, a recipie for a whitie if ever I saw one. Out of seas...

The best kept secret in amsterdam IMHO

Would never buy weed....but....the pool tables upstairs are awesome. Me and a mate spent close on 100E on the tables and they where alywas empty whenever we went in there.

There is no better place in amsterdam to blaze, smoke and play pool on a quality table.

The place says free breakfast on the window..hmm I wonder how many tourists are suckered into going into here and then find that the free breakie is "not available today" Perhaps i am just bitter....One of our boys on the trip in 2005 had a whitie in here. Sort of passed out in his chair, ...

Love the viws out of the window on the top floor. Blue Cheese was OK, not really living up to all the hype but worth a look as the prices are pretty good, 12 ish Euros for 1.4 gram I think it was last week. All the other weed I got from their looked like it had been spun. Pound for pound I would say...

Greenhouse Effect is well underrated. I have only been in the coffeeshop side but that was more than enough for me. Very chill environment and extremely friendly staff made for an excellent anytime call in. Music was always perfect, chill hip hop in the mornings winding up a bit as the day went on, ...

Wouldn't buy weed from here personally.

Last week there was a blond girl working there, extremely friendly and helpful, just what you need.

Its all about the upstairs though. Get there early and simply chill looking out at the RLD.

Great place, as ong as you go up stairs..

I wanted to get a gram of NYCD but they had sold out, aske the bud guy what he reccomended and he opened on of the boxes and I was sold purely on the smell. Pity it was 14E per gram!! Ty...
