Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

Not looking for 'the best at the moment'.

Looking for last week's/month's SECOND best gear. I don't assume to deserve 'the best'. But it has to be inexpensive and almost 'the best'.

I'll be visiting Amsterdam in a month...what's good at the moment? Yeah, I lied.

Oh. and can someone please recommend a nice hotel, close to all the action, inexpensive, and smoker friendly?
Can someone tell me all of 'the best' places to eat around my hotel?

And can someone please tell me exactly what the weather around 4-20 will be like...hazy?

In a city full of headshops, can someone please tell me where to buy papers and grinders, because I can't be bothered to use the search function?

Have I missed anything?

Quite a good strategy if you give it some thought. In many 'high end' coffeeshops you might see the best and newest strains that everyone wants to smoke right now at pretty steep prices. However if you go off the beaten track a tiny bit and go to a 'locals' coffeeshop you might find a simpler menu. Still these local joints need to have decent weed that a discerning clientele might find appealing. How do they fill out their menus?

So maybe you can find these older strains that people have smoked and liked for a while and most importantly have proved popular over time. As a side benefit often a lot cheaper too.

Brass Eye

Format: Mockumentary

Created by: Chris Morris

Starring: Chris Morris

Country of origin: United Kingdom

No. of episodes: 7

29 January 1997 – 26 July 2001

Brass Eye is a UK television series of satirical spoof documentaries. A series of six aired on Channel 4 in 1997, and a further episode in 2001.

The series was created by Chris Morris, and written by him, David Quantick, Peter Baynham, Jane Bussmann, Arthur Mathews and Graham Linehan. It was a sequel to Morris's earlier spoof news programmes On the Hour and The Day Today. It satirised media portrayal of social ills, in particular sensationalism and creation of moral panics. The series starred Morris's The Day Today colleague Doon MacKichan and Gina McKee, Mark Heap, Simon Pegg, Julia Davis and Kevin Eldon.

Original series (1997)

Brass Eye aroused controversy because public figures were fooled into supporting fictitious, and often absurd, charities and causes. The show's content were deemed too disturbing for viewers.

The second episode was called "Drugs" and is one of the most successful. A voice tells viewers there are so many drugs on the streets that "not even the dealers know them all". An undercover reporter (Morris) asks a purportedly real-life drug dealer in London for fictitious drugs, including Triple-sod, Yellow Bentines and Clarky Cat, leaving the dealer puzzled and irritated. He also asks the dealer if he is the Boz-Boz and says he doesn't want his arm to feel "like a couple of fortnights in a bad balloon". Later, Morris dressed as a baby with a nappy on and a red balloon-like hat on his head and again asked for Triple-sod and then says "last time I came here a friend of mine just got triple-jacked over a steeplehammer and jessop jessop jessop jessop jessop". He explained that possession of drugs without physical contact and the exchange of drugs through a mandrill were legal.

David Amess, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Basildon, was fooled into filming an elaborate video warning against the dangers of a fictional Eastern European drug called Cake and asked a question about it in Parliament.[1] The drug purportedly affected an area of the brain called Shatner's Bassoon (altering your perception of time), can give you a bloated neck due to massive water retention (allegedly known in by-then-dissolved Czechoslovakia as "Czech Neck") and was frequently referred to as "a made-up drug" (a drug, they were told, not made from plants but made up from chemicals).

Sir Bernard Ingham, Noel Edmonds and Rolf Harris held the yellow cake-sized pill as they talked, with Bernard Manning telling viewers that "One kiddy on Cake cried all the water out of his body. Just imagine how his mother felt. It's a fucking disgrace" and that "…you can puke your fucking self to death [on this stuff] — one girl threw up her own pelvis-bone… What a fucking disgrace". Manning, with other participants, told the public that Cake was known on the street as "loonytoad quack", "Joss Ackland's spunky backpack", "ponce on the heath", "rustledust" or "Hattie Jacques pretentious cheese wog", and told anyone offered it to "chuck it back in their face and tell them to fuck off".

Heavy Electricity...utter nonce-sense.
