Nice reporting! Gotta get to Papillon on my next visit.

And thanks for your photos too -- feels like they're giving me the right *perspective* on this trip...

Ah, thanks for this. That one is a MUST!

Interesting!

But at least some small problems. Zoom onto Amsterdam-Noord, for instance. You'll see three shops there, one of which is Carmona, which is really down in De Pijp!

Am I coming across as young? Great!
But I will take your advice. Deep breaths. And hold them.

Again, agreed! Must say, last trip was only my 2nd -- and only visted fewer than 1 dozen shops -- but "is it cool to smoke my own here" was just about the first thing out of my mouth at each shop we went into (except when I was certain, as at Yo-yo for the outdoor 'lightweights' weed and S...

I *know*!! If it ain't 1st it'll be 2nd, or 3rd, or...

I'm so f'n psyched!

GREAT report, great pix. Thanks!

it's a _very_ helpful thing to know before buying drinks or snacks that you won't be allowed to smoke from your stash. beyond belief. ... How would you deal with the situation? Dude. I'd be pissed. Which is why I've essentially agreed with you that it's a good idea to try to get a list of such plac...

Used CityMundo's website to book up for my next trip in September, found a very nice-looking flat in Lange Leidsedwarsstraat. They took 1/3 downpayment on my card. This was a week ago. Got a call from them today, apologising that the flat is actually not available the dates I booked. I think this sp...

Well, newsflash for me, not staying on Lange Leidsedwarsstraat after all. Staying instead on the Oudezijds Achterburgwal, smack between the Hash Museum and the Cannabis College!

So maybe Green Place or Greenhouse Centrum for first stop?

Don't hold coffee shops to some kind of unrealistic level of super-costumer-service that you created in a fantasy world. Firm agreement here. But that said, I think a listing of places that consistently bar smoking 'outside' weed would be very helpful. We don't have to say such shops are "bad&...

CityMundo - 1st time doing that, but heard only positive things about them... Of course there will be a trip report including info on the digs come September.

So in other words you will only be allowed to use your apps if you find a Wifi hotspot. Hope this helps. That is true of some apps, but eatdrinketc, UnLike, and the Holland freebie app all will work in offline mode. Another app I found pretty useful is the Amsterdam Maps Offline by FidesReef. It's ...

I believe you can smoke weed in the Greenhouse Effect bar where you can also buy beer etc. Yes, this is definitely true. There is a roped-off section of the bar area where weed smoking is A-OK. The bartender seemed to imply that it was intended for hotel guests, but that there would be no problem i...

Gonna be either Rookies or Rokerij next time, as they're closest to where my apt will be, in Lange Leidsedwarsstraat. Haven't been in either one before, so looking forward to it as they've both got very good reputations on the board.
