apocalypse spliff!!
Posted: Sun 17th Aug 2008 10:25 pm
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.
