April 18-25; 4/20 in the Dam - first trip

Post by KMK0420 »

Have planned my first trip to Amsterdam, on an impulse. I figured.. with the way things go and are going in today's world, in society and in the government and politics, who knows what tomorrow can bring. I'm still young. Why not?

Ever since i heard about Amsterdam back when i was maybe 15 or 16 It's always been one of those "man, i WISH i could go there some day" type places. But i was never able to, mainly because i wasn't 18. But even when i did turn 18 i didn't have the financial backing to go. I now am out of school, due to loan problems, so i have a full time job. I now have the flexibility to do things i wasn't ever once able to..

All that aside, on to the weed. On average i buy an ounce of mid-grade here in the US and it'll last me 2 weeks - month depending on how i smoke it. I'm a blunt person, so it sucks up the weed pretty quick. If i smoked it all in bowls, it would probably last me a month - 2 months.

In other words, i'm not the heaviest toker. Have only smoked "dro" 2 or 3 times, and have never smoked anything straight off the plant, covered in crystals and stinks everything up.

I'm thinking i'm not going to need that much to keep me stoned my entire trip.. one gram of something like NYCD will probably drop me.. hey.. its nice having a low tolerance :)

As far as the weather goes.. I'm thinking temps will be anywhere from 55-65 F through what some websites say. Maybe a little rainy some days.. I'm thinking jeans and a hoody are more than enough, with maybe a beanie or something for the colder mornings or whatever.. and maybe 1-2 pair of shorts for the warmer days..

does anyone recommend an umbrella? or is something like a hoody's hood enough? or does it pour?

Another random question, i'm be on Warmostraat or something like that (the street of the Greenhouse Effect hotel/coffeeshop).. i'm interested in buyin myself a case of water for my time in being there.. like a 24 pack of deer parks, nestles, aquafinas, dasanis, whatever.. are the common items in the supermarket in Adam? i would assume.. and where is the closest place to get that from the GH Hotel?

Thanks for those who took the time to read this.. i'm blitzed, it just kept going from the brain to the hands..

Lots of questions. Dress seems about right, always try to dress in layers. Weather seems about right, maybe a little cooler than what you see, but close.
Yes you can buy bottled water in supermarkets.
Most budtenders will reccomend something if you tell them your tolerance.
As you know you will be there at a time when many people from ACD, channels etc. will be there so lots of people to ask for advise. You picked a good time to go. Counting the days, see you there.

Like Twitch said good time to go for your first trip...as for the tolerance level...I think you maybe surprised how much you will be able to smoke. Check out the recommendations on this forum and you will not go far wrong...just don't go crazy in the first day or so by day 2/3 you can smoke your ass off :lol:

an umbrella should be available in case you do need it......on my trip it only drizzled a lil twice, which apparently is freakishly dry, we were prepared for the worse tho...better safe......
