apocalypse spliff!!

Post by icarus »

hey guys - heading to the dam next weekend (21st - 24th aug), man i can't wait - was wondering if anyone could answer a few quick questions...
apologies if these have crept up or been answered elsewhere!

my mate and i smoke a lot, but we've never actually paid any attention to the whole 'strain' thing.
last time we were over in the dam we had some mad crazy clown-hands sh*t, i don't know what it was called but i've honestly never smoked anything else like it in my life. the only description i can give is that within just a few minutes we couldn't feel our arms or legs, or faces - very strange, very wonderful. it was something we'd picked up along our stoned walkabouts but had lost track of. try as we might, and we did, we couldn't remember what we'd bought where.

it was light greenish and tasted 'medicinal' (my mate says 'militant'), full of crystals, fat, fat, sticky buds, so sticky my fingers got 'glued' together.
serious yo'. this was some strong sh*t. strongest i've ever had. i would reward handsomely any man, woman or child that can build me a time machine so that i may revisit that moment when this sacred herb was purchased and take note of its name.

trying to narrow it down, would i have smoked a sativa or an indica? i would have guessed sativa due to the colour, but as for a heady high.... no way. this was more, an all over body-and-head-euphoria, a giggle inducing blanket of primitive numbness, loss of limb control, loss of speech, total loss of mental capacity, the full breakfast.

we went last year in september and visited mainly the dampkring (leidsestraat somehwhere i think), bluebird and greenhouse, buying mostly the most expensive stuff. can anyone think what it might have been? i know, i know, my description sucks, but it's the best i can do - i guess half the fun of this up-coming trip will be our much anticipated quest to seek out this fabled lost treasure of the ancients.

on to my second question....
as i mentioned above, our normal haunts are the dampkring, bluebird and greenhouse - it's just been that way for years, laziness i guess. i've been reading loads of good threads on this forum about other coffee shops, but everyone seems to have their own personal favourites and it's hard to choose which to visit. As much as we want to, we just won't have time to see them all :'(
we're looking for two things - quality of weed (the stronger the better, we're going for a good time, not a long time!!) and a new favourite coffee shop to discover, somewhere with a great sit down chill out area (no techno music, would prefer a mellow vibe), somewhere with lush sofas, windows to watch people and lovely blonde dutch girls selling hot chocolates. The first stipulation, the quality bud, is obviously a pre-requisite of the second stipulation, the quality coffee shop. I'm thinking Mellow Yellow, and i've heard one or two decent things about Dolphin.... and funnily enough we've never actually been to any of the ones nearer the station, so we may try Pink Floyd or Barney's. Can anyone weigh in with some awesome suggestions or thoughts on top-class shops selling knock-out weeds that we can visit? anywhere or anything particularly good lately?

another question....
i hate hash. i'll be honest. that bum smuggled, henna, plastic-soap rubbish just doesn't do it for me.... yet, i keep hearing amazing things about 'isolators' and such. should i try some? where should i try it? i'm really only interested in trying the absolute anti-christ of all hashes - it won't be for anything other than research purposes but a part of me is desperate to experience the furthest limits of the darkest solid-smoke possible.

and one last one!
if you had one hour in amsterdam. actually, no. sorry. i'll start again. if you had one hour left till the world ended and you were in amsterdam and you wanted to go out smoking the most insane money-no-object bombshell chronic humanly believable, what would you choose? any coffeeshop, any flavour... what would your apocalypse spliff be made of?

ooops i guess those weren't quick questions. in fact, more i think about it, i reckon i've probably just asked the same damn question a few times in different ways. i can't remember, too stoned to read it back now. sorry.
ignore my ramblings.
they call me icarus.
peace.
out.

You might find something to your liking on the Bushdoctor Hash menu. It's from June 21st so probably hasn't changed much.
You can browse around the other menus, who knows what you may find.

Enjoy

Icarus, I want whatever you are smoking! u sound mashed :) Post a pic on the currently smoking thread in canna strains if u have a cam:)

I second FlyByNite's suggestion of either of the Bushdocter's (https://www.coffeeshopdirect.com/Bushdocter.html) for ice hash's. They have a large menu. I suggest going for the Jelly Hash or Butter Hash, either of which will knock you flying:)

For the apocalypse spliff I'd go to Grey Area, get a gram of Kif, a gram of Isolater and a gram of some Silver Bubble or Cannalope and roll up a phatty!

Amnesia has been nice to hang out in the past, but their bud can be expensive. Anyday has a nice strain called Stella Blue.

Peace etc

The soap bar hash that you may be use to is not what's available in Amsterdam. Far from it. There are many shops that sell top quality hash, that has not been adulterated with a bunch of foreign matter. Give one of your favorite shops a try for their hash. I know Dampkring and Bluebird sell some good hashish; among many other shops as well. The Ice-o-lator is some super strong hash, made by an ice and water extraction. Sample with care. :wink: Most importantly, have a great time! Peace.

As Puffin13 says, what you are describing is not real hash. Theres no need to buy the most expensive hash onthe menu, some good €10 hash will knock your socks off as long as its good and stored properly. Try some caramello or Nepal.

Answer to question 2: i would suggest the rokerij coffeeshops for you, really dark and chilled and well themed. the music is often ethnic/african/arabic chill music really good.

Answer to question 3: Im not a hash smoker ether, but i try hash in dam every now and again, as it really is good. the standard soap bar in england is not worth the diesel its made with, but some nice sticky soft hash in 'dam can be real nice.

The sticky black stuff is what i go for. you dont need a lighter to soften it, you pull off a chunk and roll it into a long thin sausage with your hands. lay that down in a bed of fag (or weed if your nuts) and smoke, slowly, as the hash sticks out the end of the J if you smoke too quick.

incidentally, whilst using a lighter to soften hash is stupid, as you are simply wasting its strength, a lighter can help you tell how good your hash is. Soap bar will go soft then burn up, but decent hash bubbles and boils as the flame gets near it. try it out on some good quality hash, youll see what i mean.

Answer to question 3: I would sggest a pure joint of the old school strain, AK47, with a sticky black hash sausage in the middle. only did that once before, when i was younger, during the phase when i thought that vomiting was a good way to finsh the night. :lol:

Good little list you've put toghether there.
Like yourself, I'm not a big hash smoker- they don't tend to do much for me, but Waterworks from Dampkring is knockout. It's an ice hash, and they also do pre-rolled joints with it in.
I also enjoyed Rifman Nouzha a while back from the Dampkring shops.
Enjoy yourself.

apacolypse smoke would have to be: a hash blunt
some fine soft-pliable black hash flatend thinly(like a paper). Then rolled around a mixture of some grey area's finest weed (at the time), grey mist trichromes or stix gunpowder, and some of the finest iso-later.
