Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

hi people,

i know u guys r gonna laugh at me but i'm gonna ask anyway.

i'm a first-timer and i'm looking forward to have my first experience in Amsterdam.

i wanna know which is the lightest grass and is there any other way than smoking it? is there any specific physical reaction for first-timers? e.g. nausea/vomiting

how long will the 'high' last?

thanks...

ummmmmmmm light weed? im not sure what would qualify as light yet not crappy with good high....
from my experience, i smoked weed and hash in my country before coming to the Adam, but i havent smoked for two months before coming to Adam so i had allmost no tolerance to weed upon arriving.
just stick to good weed, and pace yourself. instead of smoking a full pure joint, split it between two or three people. (i didnt do that and i was still ok, even the times i smoked a lot, you cant get an OD from weed).
if you dont want to smoke, and you like your lungs ashes free, go to coffeeshops with volcano vaporizers, buy some weed and ask to use the vaporizer. you will get assistance in seconds. my suggestions are the
Bluebird- for its notorious red sofa that lets you sink into it and never get up except for refilling your vapor bag.
Mellow Yellow- a must for all visiters to mecca. get some Super Silver Haze there, and prepare for the best high you will get.
stay away from budder, bubble hash, ice hash and probably every hash because some of these are extremly potent and if you are not familiar with using hash you will smoke too much (if thats possible) and you will not like the high.

Hi, and nobody's laughing

There are a few 'light grasses' such as Jamaican and such, I'd suggest Orange bud for a beginner. I think you'd be best of buying a pre-rolled joint, or can you roll yourself? do you smoke tobacco?

nu-high wrote: is there any specific physical reaction for first-timers? e.g. nausea/vomiting

Only if you over do it. Take a few puffs on a pre-rolled joint and see how you feel. Don't go silly with it or you could 'whitey' which means you go white and want to vomit.

I'd say a high from a joint lasts about four hours from start to finish

No problem

rocker, r u talking about the cali orange bud?

No, just Dutch Orange Bud. I've always found it a fairly mild smoke.

well i think kadinsky has the cali orange bud, really nice flavour, and good sativa high, but its high is not that light, it all depends on how much the guy smokes. (i went straight away from the airport to this bud, and got a very nice trippy, sativa energetic, lasting high, that was pretty manageable, even tho i smoked a bong too many of it )

Bongs are a different kettle of fish entirely. I wouldn't suggest that a beginner uses a bong or a vapo. Joints are far better to ween him onto.

woah! 4 hrs! i'd think of that would be quite a long time.

how about if i have some hash brownies/spacecakes? would it be the same?

I'd say smoke a little first to see how you react. If you handle it well then venture onto the space cakes and such. I wouldn't recommend an absolute beginner to eat space cakes. BTW, the high from a space cake lasts about the same, although must be ingested thus the high isn't instantaneous. It depends on factors such as metabolism and how full your gut is when you eat it.

not gonna laugh about that mate. your just being sensible, so many people i know try it for first time, and whitey hard. not a pleasent experince.

if your a first timer, stick to sativas. theyll make u get the giggles, and less likely for u to go over board.

for you i would definatly suggest 'white butterfly' form 'rokerij coffeeshops'. i just think it may have finished though, if they still have it thats the one for you.

it tastes like strong weed, has that skunky taste, but is not overly strong in stone. i like it during the day when i dont wanna get too wasted.

if that isnt available, then i would suggest 'honey bee' from 'barneys coffeeshop'. its a sativa, but also not too strong. nice, but managable.

I'd say, start with a small amount... a few puff's, then put it out... kick back with a coffee and the newspaper. Four hours will seem like one.

I would ahve to agree, for a first timer you should start with sativa's. These will get you high and euphoric, even if you smoke too much. Once youu have tried a few, maybe after a couple of days, try some indica's.

TThe budtenders are generally really helpful. If you advise them exactly what you have advised us, they should be able to point you int the right direction.

Like anything, just start slow and work your way up. On my March trip this year, I want out with a friend who smokes occasionally back home. We walked into Central, and I was after a nice stone, so bought some alegria. My mate built a spliff to match mine, then whitied after a quarter of it. If you do find yourself feeling nauseated, just head out for some air, it's the best cure

remember it's ok to pass or put it down...most important,slow down! and enjoy...agree with chopitup and SoulRider

remember that a j isnt a cigarette that will burn down. you can let it go out by itself. Personally, I would reccomend getting a small pipe, put a small piece of bud in take 1 hit, then put a coin on top of the bowl to put it out.

Remember that its not a race. Some people are satisfied with 1 gram a week, some 1 gram an hour.

Also, alot of shops Amnesia etc have a 5Euro minimum. Just buy a 5 bag of something, as you dont know if you will need a bigger bag yet. That will also give you the chance to try more strains, and like wines they vary hugely.

You should be fine. The fact that you are concerned enough to ask, lends me to believe you won't be puking or stumbling into a canal. Take it slow, take a puff and wait a little. Don't drink any alcohol. Starting off with a sativa would be a nice way to go. Have fun and report back.
