Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

Hi all,

As you have probs read im up for my first trip in 2 weeks and with it my first time with weed.

Ive been looking in to the different kinds you can get and i must say its madness (who would have thought there was so many to chose from)

Since its my first time i was wanting something middle of the road, not to weak but deffo not too strong.

What do you reccomend? Is the hill street special any good at HSB for me?

Cheers

orange bud is a lighter choice of the modern marijuana varieties

basjoe have a nice example

and don't forget that the first time you get stoned, you may not think that you are stoned one little bit, and it may not be until much later as you are coming down that you realise you really were quite stoned a little while back

the second time will be different as you will know what being stoned is

good luck ...

ps ordinary old-time thai and jamaican are good choices to start your smoking experience, the modern varieties can be much much stronger, so just go slow in what you try

If you can,try the proper high grade
Stonedsince67:what about the laughing buddha?

letting you know which medium strains is all very well, but remember that if it's your first time..... You Are never going to be able to smoke a whole joint first time without getting massively fucked and maybe even spinning out ang going to bed. It's not a dig mate, seriously, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but for your own enjoyment of your time in Amsterdam, you really should try a couple of tokes now and keep having a half joint/ full joint until you go on your trip. I've been with first timers before who have had a few enthusiastic big tokes in dam, and gotten so fucked that they lost a couple of hours and never touch it again.

good luck!!!


I don't like to be a kill joy, but I think it would really add to your experience of coffeeshops

I agree with CSS, try before going to dam

try the thai,jamacian or orange bud in basjoe.

see james and he,ll sort you out

Hi oneonly. Yeah, there's a lot of strains of weed It's all just weed of varying strengths basically, don't be daunted
in order of increasing strength: orange bud, blueberry, laughing bhudda, kali mist, silver haze, mexican haze, 100% sativa/equatorial sativa. Don't smoke anything with cheese in the name (almost guaranteed to be too strong for you atm)
Most importantly, when you get your vaporiser or vape bag, take just ONE breath of vape to start with. hold it in a couple seconds then breath it out and wait a few minutes. If you're already giggling at this point, wait a while before you smoke more. If you don't get anything, breathe some more vape, but take it gradual. If you still don't get anything, move to a slightly stronger weed in the vape.
oh and most MOST importantly- have an amazing time in the best of cities, plan stuff to do that isn't coffeeshop related, take a decent laminated map. let us know how you get on

Thanks for all the advice

I would love to try it before i go but its illegal here and i wouldnt know where to start in getting it. Even if i did i would not be able to use it as i will not smoke ever again, thats why i'll need the vaporizer.

Think i may start off with some orange bud, that sounds enough for me. I dont know if it matters but im quite a big lad (about 24 stone) so im guessing it will take more than the average to floor me, or am i wrong? Lol

Have never vaped/bonged or piped 'cos I like smoking spliffs!

I can only echo what others have suggested and go for Orange Bud (a nice mellow high) or perhaps Power Plant.

Jamaican and Thai are also nice.

Hash-wise, a Super pollem is good for a first smoke.....uplifting but not too strong.

Have a great trip!

I don't think your size will stop you having a whitey if you go overboard!

Lol ty for the advice, looks like it will deffo be orange bud then, i'll take it slow and since its my first time i dont think i'll even manage 1 ballon full so i'll have the wife use some too lol good job theres 4 of us going, 2 noobs and 2 that do it every so often so whatever i dont use they can have lol.

also mate you may want to consider eating a full meal before you start smoking/vaping, and do not mix with alchohol the same day... whether that be before or after the smoke.

Yeah i wont be drinking and we are planning to get a nice big full english before we hit the CS. The plan is to spend a little on weed so we wont spend a fortune on drink on the boat as its like €4+ a pint

True! But dangrerous! I smoke everyday, yet if I mix 2 pints and 2 joints I find myself falling of the chair
