March 2007, My Second Trip to Amsterdam
Posted: Thu 7th Oct 2010 05:42 pm
My 2 roommates and I decided we all needed to take a trip together to Amsterdam, so I went online and got us the best deal I could. I don’t remember the deal I got but we all agreed we could do it and started saving. When time came to buy the tickets one of my roommates had to back out, he just could not afford it.
Finally the day comes and we land in Amsterdam. The first thing we did from the airport was get on the train and other forms of public transportation and get to our hotel. I am now realizing why I got a nice hotel so cheap its 20 min at least to central station.
OK, no big deal all checked in and ready to party we head into the town. The electric tram we were on broke down and let us off outside the big park with the giant AMSTERDAM in it. So went and took some pictures, and again headed into town. I guess we were very close to the Van Gogh museum because here I am starving for a smoke yet I find myself checking out paintings that I could not care less about, when all I wanted was a smoke.
Finally we get out of there and still not knowing where I am or where I am going I just head to what I feel is the way to the nearest coffee shop. I want to say about 45 min latter it could have been 5 min latter but it felt like forever we find this little hole in the wall with a coffee shop sign in the window.
I don’t even want to waste a minute on rolling so I ask for a pure pre rolled White Widow and proceeded to spark that bad boy up. Now I am far from a lightweight by the time I was done with this joint I was hurting. The room was spinning I felt sick and needed some air, so we left there and got some air after a few minutes I was alright and realized what happened. The fucker gave me a joint mixed with tobacco. I strictly smoke my weed clean and have a tendency to get sick like that if its mixed with a lot of tobacco.
So I decided to only roll my own for the rest of this trip. This was definitely the right decision. From there we went to the greenhouse effect. I can not tell you what I got there but I can tell you I remember being pleased. My roommate had been sick the entire week before our trip and by 6pm she was feeling too weak to stay out so we would up going back to the hotel by 7pm on our Friday night in Amsterdam.
The next day we missed the hotels breakfast and headed right into town to start the day. spent most of Saturday walking around the red lights area going from one coffee shop to another and getting very fucked up.
At some point we found ourselves at the marijuana museum and decided to check it out. Finally I museum I can enjoy. And at the back of the museum there is a garden and when I was there they were giving away free samples. Ok we did not get to take any out with us but they loaded a vaporizer for me and backed this giant ass bong for me as well, several times actually. I kept walking in and out and each time the guy would fire the vaporizer and bong up for me.
I knew a guy who was from Amsterdam and when I told him I was coming he sent me his number. Now I met this guy on a kibbutz in Israel a few years before this and during the month we were both there we were not very close. So I figured he would meet up with us hang for an hour or 2 and then split. But I was very wrong.
We meet him at one of the bulldogs and stayed there for about 2 hrs. then he told us he knows much better places to go so we jumped into his car and he started taking us to his favorite places. 1 place was another of the green houses, one was De kampkring and I think one was rokerij 2. He knew the dealers at one of the places and got us a sampler platter. It was like a half g of 7 or 8 different weeds and a few bits of some hash.
We stayed there until closing and had to wake my roommate and practically carry her into the car. After bringing her back to the hotel my friend asked if I wanted to smoke the last piece of hash and go for a ride to the stadium where the road goes under it. So I figured why not.
As I said I am no lightweight and felt I had smoked the best of what Amsterdam had to offer and survived nicely. For those of you who may be about to go on your first trip to Amsterdam let me tell you something the weed is great, but the hash will leave you a drooling mess. We were only gone maybe 40 min but when I came back I nearly needed help up the stairs.
We had 2 more day of this but I can not remember a thing after that first hash joint. I do know that from that point on I was on a big hash kick.
BEST VACATION EVER
