Just to start it off....
Scoring from mad hippies on houseboats in the early 80's because they had the best and cheapest dope and it was better than the first coffeshops for imported weed, and how cool was it sitting on someones houseboat getting wasted watching the ducks
running away from packs of junkies when there were more of them than tourists sometimes
watching guys from the Bulldog in its earlier days all pile out and severely kickbox into uncosciousness some poor waster who over-stepped the line (made me realise what a thin line it is out there sometimes) - and sitting ALL DAY in their downstairs video room when they used to show whole movies
Happy Families (i think it was called this)- a legendary place, coffee shop for locals, state subsidised at one point, free coca cola or coffee when you went in, they had an actual cinema in the back with movies every few hours throughout the day, I weep when I think of that place, anyone else ever find it??
Only place in the world where you could get the best imported weeds in one place from mexico, Colombian (full of seeds, more than 50% by weight and it was expensive sometimes too for the good ones), Durban Poison, loads of different jamaican varieties (red Beard if you were very very lucky), and Thai sticks then were mindwarping, big fat sticky buds, very different to the mass produced red/blue string stuff we see now, good thai then was the equivalent to the Amnesia/Super Silver Hazes, ie very trippy
Staying on huge Botels behind the station, dirt cheap, no smoking signs everywhere (wooden boat after all) but every corridor reeked, noone gave a toss, very cramped bunks suitable for dwarves (im 6'2'') and the generators coming on at 5am which was like being held at Guatanomo, torture when your head is already aching from the Thai attack from the night before.
Anyone else......
, my 1st trip was in 2001 as a 17 year old college boy, didnt really know what to expect, all i knew is that it was legal to smoke weed out there.
