2 day solo(ish) trip at end of October

Post by mlester187 »

So this is my third trip of the year and my second report. This time I'm mostly solo so manage to get to coffeeshops I wanted to mission to and smoke just what I want - VERY excited!!
So....land at 10ish, bit of hassle getting bags off plane and was quite tired (although pumped with excitement) so got a taxi to the hotel on dam square, arrived at 11. Was expecting to drop bags and check in later but room was ready so dropped bags there sat down for about 1 min and decided to get myself to the greenhouse just behind the hotel. Walk in ask for Arjens haze, b.t. says he only has straggle end bits left, he suggest the Super Silver Haze, looked at a few others but the SSH just looked and smelled a mile better than the other sativa-ish weeds. So 1g SSH, had a quick look at some hash too, decided on buying Greenhouse Ice (around €18/g I think).
Hadn't eaten for hours so made my way to Stones Cafe for a full English and a sample of the SSH. WOW - quick acting heah high, good taste, maybe not as powerful of a taste as I expected but still very good.
My initial aim for the day was to get to mellow yellow, Katsu and a bushdoctor. So I set off, made a pit stop at Grey Area, was packed but still looked at 3 or four different strains, bought 2g KC Jones and 1g Kuchi (mostly on what I've read here and elsewhere). Made a small KC joint to keep (or stop as the case was) me going! Eventually made it to Bushdoctor on Thorbeckeplein after what felt like an hour but was more like 10 mins! Had the kushadellic ice back in august and wanted something on a similar level. The guy recommended OG 18 Honey Ice, inspected it and got a gram (€50!), looked at a few more and ended up getting a g of Blackberry Cheese Ice (€45/50 per g) and a g of Manala Cream (€14 I think).
My notes get fuzzy from here on as is expected so bare with me lol!
Went straight from B.D. to Mellow Yellow for the much anticipated S5 Haze :-) Walked in, waited for two people to be served (played with the dog in there whilst waiting), looked at the S5 and OMG - it looks incredible - 3g please!! Also asked to see the Blueberry, the guy gave me a 2 g bag and said he'd do it cheap if I buy both and me in my state just said 'ok!' Bad move! Blueberry was not very nice at all, didn't smell much and didn't taste good either (ended up giving this away the next day to a cool guy I met in Barneys Farm). Anyway, I sat down in Mellow Yellow with a cold chocomel and a tea, dog sat at my feet, roll a big j of S5 and chill for like half an hour.
I muster up some energy to get me to Katsu. I was quite impressed, as the furthest south of the city I'd been before is the bushdoctor on Amstel, that I found MY and even more impressed after the S5 that I found Katsu with no problems! Had to try the black widow after all I'd heard about it. Got a g for around €10. Had a big j, tea and a water. I realised that I was probably the most stoned I'd ever been and a lie down on my comfy bed sounded like the best idea ever. However I was quite a walk from dam sq. I set off, went past MY and felt really odd, like little control over legs and arms!! Felt really weird (lolling at my notes at this point!!). Anyway, ended up getting lost, found myself in this square I'd never been and had no idea where I was. Though I'd try and get lucky and just chose a road, walked in a circle a few times, then took a different road and a while later I see dam sq!! Get a freshly made waffle at the fair in the sq with chocolate and hibernate into my room for a few hours. Had a j of the greenhouse ice in the room, very very nice, creamy strong high. Slept for a few hours!
Get up around 6 ish. Knew friends were landing in an hour so thorny I'd have a j and a bit of food to keep me going unroll dinner. Went to city hall (initially because greenhouse was packed, but really enjoyed it in there), had a j of s5 at the bar and went on search for some chips. Found chips , covered in Mayo, ate in sq an went back to room. Napped for half an hour until friends called.
Waited for them to check in to same hotel and went to hunters. The Amnesia Haze here in aug was te best I'd ever had so had to see it and it was very similar so had to get a g. Friends got a g of sense star(very average). The Amnesia was amazing again. Next stop: Burger Bar :-) 100% Kobe with cheese and fries please! BB was excellent as usual!
Went to Dampkring (formerly pink floyd) from BB and with intentions of buying rifman. Saw Aziza on menu, no malaki or habibi :-( got a g of Aziza, friend got a g of White Choco - looked v nice.
Then friend wanted to go to abraxas so we went off there to smokethe night away before a wander around the red-light.
Whilst wandering up a canal I saw some commotion on the other side, had a look and saw a policeman trying to drag a tourist whilst his friends are dragging him the other way screaming 'he 'asnt done anythin' in a very drunken manner! The policeman then hit the tourist with his night stick three times! This was making me go a bit under so just walked away. Got back to my room around 1-1.30 and wanted to get knocked out by some of the ice hashes. I opted to make a joint with the first half blackberry ice and the second half OG ice. OG tasted a bit better imo but all I know is I woke up in the exact same position that I fell asleep (still sat up in bed)!
Woke up refreshed, called friends, still asleep, didn't want to waste last day so showered, had some Aziza and got breakfast from stones again. Smoked rest of Aziza j whilst waiting for breakfast - very stoned - amazing hash!
Realised thus would be the only chance I have to visit barneys so off I went! Saw the vanilla kush - incredible, cheese - looked ok, but seen netter in uk tbh! Bought a g of dr grinspoon for some ridiculous price (like €17-18!). Settled in barneys farm, one of my favourite places to chill. Got talking to some south African guy with dreads who lives in uk now. Gave him the blueberry from mellow yellow.
Met friends in abraxas had a j, they left, went sightseeing (been there done that - get me more stoned!!)
Went back to city hall and relaxed for a few hours, finishing the grinspoon, before I had to go back to Schipol.
That was my two days in the dam!

Cheers. I stayed in the NH Grand Krasnapolsky. Always stay here because they have fantastic beds, easy to find (no matter how much you smoke) and the breakfast buffet is legendary.

How was the S5 Haze from M.Y? I'm thinking it was much more to your liking then the Bluberry! :wink:

S5 Haze was the weed of the trip. Hunters Amnesia Haze came a VERY close second. And an even closer third has to be the Black Widow from Katsu.
OG 18 Honey Ice from Bushdoctor was undoubtedly the hash of the trip, followed by Blackberry Ice. But they were both very expensive. Dampkrings Aziza was the 'normal' hash of the trip.

I've actually never been to popeyes! I always mean to go and always walk past on my way to being disappointed at Barneys. Maybe I'll go Herr instead of Barneys next time!
Yes I always smoke in my room at the Krasnapolsky. The corridors generally stink of weed at night anyway!
