Glad you get to go back again.Let's start with the basics first.When do you plan on being in Amsterdam? Now the help from all the knowledgeable ones here should pour in.

Hello and welcome MBV,

I might be able to answer a few questions:

*where can i find oranjeboom beer in amsterdam?
-most anywhere, i remember it being fairly predominant

*strains that i must smoke before i depart?
-that depends on if you like indica or sativa or both, and what kind of high you like. i prefer sativas in the day and indicas for bedtime.

*can you find a spot on vondelpark and smoke it up or is it a big no no?i dont want to be disrespectful
-most anywhere, obviously if a family is picknicking you might want to think twice before sparking up next to them. i've smoked outside the hostel and the benches in the very south end of the park, playing frisbee,

i'm sure you'll get more answers soon. i'd search around the site for strains you might like. i read a lot of the travelogues, and take notes of favorite smokes.

i like both strains regardless of the time,i guess i should rephrase the question to what coffeeshops must i visit,thanks a lot!

Oh yeah about Berlin...

bringing drugs into countries is a far more serious offense than buying it in the country. Just remember this: it is a gamble, so your vacation is at risk. Most of Europe is more opened minded than the U.S. i have bought excellent weed in Berlin though and there are bars where you might not get hassled for smoking it. As long as your cool about it.

*best place to trip on shrooms(has to be outdoors)?
i would say vondelpark or another park that isnt so busy... but pretty much i think a park would be ur best bet

*where do i find real potent shrooms and how do i dry them?
The best mushrooms you can pretty much find anywhere are Hawaiians. And they dont need to be dried. You can eat them wet.. i thought the same thing when i first went to a-dam.. as in canada all mushrooms are consumed dry... but yeah u can eat em wet and they dont make a difference.. in fact the most fucked i have ever been on mushrooms was on wet hawaiians... dam those things are nutty.

*coffeeshops i must visit before i depart?
i would say pink floyd/dampkring/twede kamer.... also grey area... stix... willie wortels in haarlem

*is it safe for me to take some hash back to berlin via train?
why ruin it for future trips.. i dont know the legal stand points for doing this.. but if it is anything more than maybe a fine for getting caught i wouldnt bother..

*where can i find oranjeboom beer in amsterdam?
pretty much anywhere... u can try albert hein grocery store if u cant find it in a bar... i didnt like this beer very much tho..

*are there any canal tours that allow smoking on the premises?
check out boom chicago.. they have some awesome tours out of there.. i cant remember the name of the place right now, but i signed up for it at boom chicago.. its like a semi private canal tour on some smaller boats.. and i was drinking and smoking the whole time,. hahah what a trip

*can you find a spot on vondelpark and smoke it up or is it a big no no?i dont want to be disrespectful
i did infact smoke quite a bit in parks, but i tried to make sure there werent any families walking through, and i tried to go somewhere there werent many people. It took a while to get through my joints at vondelpark , but i was putting it out when i felt it was necessary. I didnt get any looks as i was quite discreet. But it was a very nice experience..i left as soon as my mushies started kicking in.. lol i wanted to be somewhere more private.

*best cinema?
one thing i cant answer for ya.. i have never been to a cinema in amsterdam.. why bother when u can goto cinemas back home.. lol but yeah im sure some people like to watch different kinds of movies , just not me.

have fun on ur trip!! cheers

there's used to be an oranjeboom bar just off the damrak as you head towards the grey area, etc., just kind of veer to your right as you see that huge shopping mall thing and it's right off one of those side streets.

excellent brew btw

Definitely Grey Area's a must for me every trip, same with Amnesia.

Call me a rebel but yeah you could bring some with you. I'm NOT telling you to break the law, just saying it can be done with no probs to you. I'm just good at finding my way around laws lol I worked for enough attorneys

Put the hash in a bag with some things you don't care about, even if it's just paper to take up some room. When you get on the train put it away from where you're sitting but where you can watch it keeping your true bags with you. If any dogs were to be brought on the train, the bag could be anyone's. Make sure you have no ID on the bag lol you could also wedge it under your seat on the train. As long as it's not in your possession you won't have a problem as there's no "evidence"

Private boats will let you smoke, I have the name of someone if you need it; also I believe Rookies does a smoking canal cruise. We didn't get to go because the boat broke down.

Have a blast and be safe

cheers!!!

where can i trip on shrooms man? i dont want to be hassled or have something intefer with my trip

cheese · Post by **cheese** » Tue 26th Jun 2007 02:34 pm

i would say ur hotel/apartment room is one of the best bets... just have a good ol time with u and ur friends... trippin balls!!!

I've never shroomed in Adam, but I would agree with Cheese. Maybe start off in a park, and if it gets too wierd, head to your hotel.

you'll be stuffed if it gets so weird all the buldings turn into jelly/o and you can't remember which flavour jello/y your hotel was. Or something along those lines.

hahaha i cannot wait man,buzzing with excitement,i think im going to be there july 10th to the 17th or something like that,plans are still ununclear buuuttt

WHAT STRANDS ARE A MUST???(dont care if they are indica or sativa)

does amnesia still have quality smokage?

geoffk · Post by **geoffk** » Sat 30th Jun 2007 05:09 pm

I've enjoyed Kali Mist for the cerebral buzz. A couple other of my favorites are Outdoor Purple Skunk, Temple Ball and Lebanese Blonde.

I've never been to Amnesia, so I can't comment, but I've read plenty good about them. Their menu looks good. If I remember right I read they are carrying some of the same stuff as Barney's. Dont' quote me on that though.

I have yet to search for a particular strain. I've just checked out coffeshops I think I might like and chat with the budtender, see what looks good and make a purchase. A few of my favorite shops are Blue Bird, Rokerij, Willie Wortel's and Siberie. I have yet to visit Grey Area, just haven't made it there yet. But, it's on my list.
