I'm a new member, picking up on this interesting helpful forum as I prepare for a trip to Amsterdam in two weeks, from Sept 29 to Oct 7. I'm a 53 year old guy with an adventurous and liberated spirit
. I see the toke and talk connections, and would love to connect with people there to explore the cafes and experience various strains. 
When I get to Amsterdam, the idea of connecting with others over a toke and coffee, sharing stories and exploring places like cafes, neighborhoods and art, is definitely my idea of fun. If that interests you, I hope you'll contact me and we'll set something up. 
On my last travel journey I went to the Himalayas, and got myself up into the Parvati Valley, like Kasol. That place, like Amsterdam, also has a friendly open attitude to smoking ganga - in fact, marijuana just grows freely along the paths and rivers. Now I think I'm visiting Amsterdam because I imagine it as a place where marijuana is fine, and connoisseurs enjoy the best of this plant, without hiding or shame. That's the myth anyway, and it'll be interesting to see the reality.
I'm a low cost traveller (for more fun time), so would also be interested in finding an economical place to hang out. Any other solo travellers that want to share the rent of a room in a peaceful respectful way? Or maybe even I'll learn about a home with a room for a traveler. I'd be open to offering a room in my home (on Vancouver Island, BC) if you'd like to trade.
Ok, I hope that's a brief hi ho with my vitals and interests. Looking forward to chats.
Jerelo
