Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

My 3rd trip to Amsterdam. This time, we can prepared to Chief.

This year we packed our own bong for the trip. A small two kink sour. 2 bowls. For good reason. Only two packs of blunts this year. I say only because we brough 25 blunts each last time. A hash pipe and 5 Bik lights.

We flew into Amsterdam on at 630 am. Some how, My friend and i found a passport entrance where there was no one. Our entire flight whent to another entry. So we were stamped and welcome into the Netherlands in less then 5 mins. I still have no idea how that happened.

Found a cab, well, More like the cabbie found us. Kinda fucked us ont he trip to the hotel.. I could tell he took a loop... I didnt bitch what only an extra 20 eros. But he said some of the weirdest SHIT . I EVER HEARD. I shit you not and I'll quote, "The red light is too easy. Go to a club drop a pill in a girls drink and shes is ready." I had to bit my lip to keep from laughing out loud. (( my buddy will confirm this)) He was fucking weird.

We stayed at the Remco Hotel West Amsterdam ... its the second to last stop on the 17 train. Many people asked why. Its away from the Busy city. Theres peace and quiet. And if your not stupid, and dont set of the fire alarm. They wont care. In fact the nice Lady at the desk, Used to work for the CC event at the expo. So she knew just what I was here for. Remco is nice 3 star hotel. 40 dollars a night for a nice room... Febo is a block away. Albert hien is 2 blocks away that was super nice.

Spent that Friday. Wondering Re-finding every thing. Been 5 years for me. (( I miss the cake from pink Floyd)) First Shop we entered was central. Super happy we could smoke in there again. Wondered till places opened up. Whent back to the hoel by 3 pm to rest... Jet lag is a bitch. We woke up around mid night.. so we stayed in and played some PS vita.

Saturday again got out there before 11 am. I think this was the ony day I drank a beer the whole trip. Only one... Im not sure why.

Well, when the cup was due to start. My friend and I Decided o take the hard way. And walk the whole way there. Was not Bad really. Just so happen as We arrived at Central station. St. Nick was too. Tons of parents with kids... We cut our way threw the crowd. And I mean Huge crowd. I took video and pics which i will link later after i filter thou it all. Got to the event an hour Early. So we decided to have a session... right in front of it. Found a table near security. They didnt mind. So after i bought some water for our bong. We puffed with some random people. Miami kid and a Brazilian. I love meet new people. Thats why i love smoking. Its so easy to break the ice. You can see us entering the event on High Times part 1 Shouting out salt lake city.

Expo was amazing. Seen new tech. Amazing pieces. Hit a 4 footer and cleared with ease.

I took a Ganja Tour and if you dont know know much about Amsterdam. TAKE a Ganja Tour. Besides seeing cool shops you wouldnt stop normally for. You see the quiet Beautiful side of Amsterdam That no one knows about.

This is Part 1 ... Ive been typing for 20 mins.. Ill add more later..

Safe to say then the cannabis in Netherlands is 12x better than what average American "blunt smoker" gets? I think so, being an ex-blunt smoker myself.......7 years ago....when i knew nothing of cannabis other than knowing i enjoyed it. Smoked one this past holiday, nothing more but a baseline now. Bigger is better, but less is more

I find blunts burn take the same time to smoke as a regular joint papaer....except it i find the taste and burn better in a tightly wrapped regular paper.

Regardless, get high and enjoy.

Cool report. I also like to stay out of the touristy parts when I come to AMS though I usually stay in DePijp or the Jordan District.
Keep it up!

+1

Blunt wrap is tobacco paper essentially from my understanding. The high is ruined (or amplified depending on perspective, lol) by this fact. Its the American version of mixed joints to some level... But yah enjoy what you do.

Cabbie sounds more like a criminal than a comedian. Spiking someone's drinks and then taking advantage of them, date raping as it is known, is not something I would find funny.

Yeah...cabby would of gotten a what the fuck and then a fuck off....nice...

yo I was with TC the first day at the expo sunday or Monday we were sitting front of u I saw u chonging the bong with the guys and I walked up and in to roll joints in the bar

Ya, The cab ride got quiet after that. That guy was really weird. ... I pulled out my tablet and started looking at the hotel info...

part 2 I was excited about truffles. I wanted to see if this compared to mushrooms. Which i miss dearly. But both times I found that it was close to a normal mushroom trip. It was ok. My stomach hurt a bit more, and They did fuck with my system pretty good. The taste was worse then any thing you think. And This is compared to eating some thing that grows off shit.. The taste was like... Soaking walnuts in water for a 1 week. In the sun. Then barely drying them, with like a paper towel.. You mouth tingles as you eat them. This feeling i would say. Is your mouth telling you its poison. I could barely chomp em a few times and down em with a can of fanta cassis .. The worst tasting drink ever.. TOO sweet but covered the taste ok. BLEH After I tripped.. I didnt really sleep in as much as you would think. Brain didnt hurt that much.

I have a major love for a FEBO. I ate there at least once a day. Kipcorn and Some Frys. Great Breakfast. total 3 euro . Often stopping at a random febo to grab a Kipcorn . Another Great place I went to over and over Wok to walk . Wish we had some "fast food" like that here in UTAH. Lots of cheese, Love dutch cheese. Fresh baked goods Every day. You will not go hungry in Amsterdam.

My Psvita said we walked 60 miles in 3 days... I dont wanna guess how much i really walked there... Quite alot. First few days my ankles were sore... toward the end didnt even feel it any more... Stoner march. Stoned march.

One coffee shop I could spend alot of time in was the Doors 1. Same old groove as i remember 5 and 6 years ago. Rolled up a Fatty and Day dreamed about 6 years earlier meeting the Kottonmouth Kings in the same shop. Big stoner smile on my face as i came back to reality. Smoking a fat blue.

I was Sad to See No one had hash milksahkes Any where. Found a shop that made hemp hot coco. or tea. But no milkshakes Oh well. I found the cake, atleast the ones sold in most shops, was kinda weak. Miss the Muffin Man.

This year we hit up a bunch of shops off the "map" Finding great deals. Few Quite a few shop owners. Who were Very nice. Where ever we went, people could tell we were serious about smoking. Must shops had good smelling buds... But I was QUITE Disapointed with Resin This year. There entry was ... horrible. What ever they handed us was leafy and seedy. Not sure if we smoked it.

Part 3 to come. AND FYI for some of the people who I didnt say hello to, and your from the board... Sorry I missed ya. Hit me up next time you see me im always down to match. And for those who cant put a face to me. Watch the High times Expo Video part 1 and ill be say Salt lake City, very clearly
