Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

My first ever trip report.
For the last 3 months I've been jotting down many of your recomendations of place sto go and what they had...Whereas all the time s ive bben b4,me & mate just stumbled round the place.So a HUGE Thanks to all of you for making this such an interesting trip.

Had to leave house at 03.30...so no sleep...Out of Centaal Station at 10.00,turn right and head fo r Picasso (i used to go to Barneys first thing,but sick of their little empire).
I wanted something to wake me up,so the very friendly Budtender advises sativa (never got name of it ,its the 2nd on list)E8-gm or the picasso bud at E5m.
So i got-
1gm-sativa bud E8
2gm -Afghanii (my wandering around dope) E5.50 a gm
I luckily got to sit at the table in the front window and rolled up half of the bud...and 5 minutes later i was grinning me head off...I was back...relax...
and watching those beautiful tall women cycling around so effortlessly.
I am always gonna come here first in future .Full of friendly local hollanders.
After a second coffee and getting-
1gm double zero hash -(which was very harsh on the throat .Not very good,unlike the Afghan which was excellent)
I headed off to Paradox for lunch.
After a wonderful walk(i should mention,every day was dry crisp sunny autumnal day)i arrived and order one of their amazing veggie burgers and aglass of their fresh ly squeezed orange juice.
Then got-
E12 deal of Chocolata
E12 deal of Nepalese
(They do deals in 5 aand 12 Euro)
I'm smoking the Chocolata right now...and its not making typing this any easier Very mellow down.
The Nep's a lovely smmoth smoke and should tide me over till i get to Stix tomorrow for some of their NTB thet i've read so much about.
So i next headed off to find Sanementereng to get some of the cheap Jamaican for spliff rolling purposes...but got totally lost and ended up at
LaTertulia...(which was next on itinerary)
BTW-I'm heading towards Hotel Abba (where i normally stay)
So into Tertulia and meet the 2 lovely friendly ladies who run this place.
and get...
WOW...Menali(one of my faves)2gm -E12 a gm
Baeutifful smooth smoke.Floating High ,i arrive at the hotel about 19;00.Get some Amstel and munchies and smoke and crash for the night.
Its fuckin' great to be back...

more later...

Respectfully, the internet is made up of tubes. Holland is a fairytale land that you don't get to visit enough. Get out there and bask, sir.

Thanks for the trip report DG

ta,
chuck.

I love Picasso for a morning smoke, it's a lovely little coffeeshop full of locals, and getting the window seat is a real bonus. That's where I sat when I began my mad smoking session on my August trip.

Day 2-Friday.
Down to breakfast about 9 where you can eat and drink as much as youwant,so fill up for the day...back to the room for a morning spliff of Picasso bud and Manali...
I'm heading for Stix today to get the infamous NTB,but first ,on the way is
Mellow Yellow for elevenses
1gm-Kashmiri-€12
2 gm Jamaican weed mon-€6 a gm.
Go sit in the big front window,have a pipe of Kashmiri,a lovely smooth,lip-numbing smoke-yum
and skin up a big spliff of de Jamaican...i used to smoke tons of this stuff back in Willesden,NW London,in my younger days...and still love that unique taste.
So...I'm sat in the window ,buzzin away,lamenting the roadworks in the street outside when suddenly a crowd of people come walking along and very slowly walk past looking in the windows ad doors and ther e were fuckin loads of em piling past GAWPING IN THE FUCKIN PLACE...I thought fck this and turned me back to them...and soon as they'd a;ll gone by,drunk up and got out of there,before the next bunch of assholes come along...Fuck that,i wont be going there aagain anytime soon...i always hated zoos,now i know how they feel...
I wanted to get to STIX anyway...
I noticed theres 2 of em,so i went to the nearest on UtrechtStraat
They've got menu on the wall,you push the button and it lights up,
I was only interested in one thing...
3gm Nepalese Temple Ball...€12.50 a gm
which i stashed for later and proceeded to stink the place out with Jamaican weed
Its nice,normal cafe,mostly locals,friendly laid back place.No gawping fuckin crowds here...
So later on,when i was lost again,i found
Dutch Flowers,which wsa on my list as Hasj Dreamers best find in his last report,so wanted to try it.
I goes in ,looks on the menu,yes,its there.
A beautiful budtender comes over ...
"2 gms of Double Hasj please"
"Sorry,were out of that"she says.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
I was really looking forward to trying this stuff.As you can probably tell,i'm a Hashish lover.
OK,So i asked was there anything close to it,and she suggested the Single Maroc at only €7 a gm...(The double was €12 a gm).So i got 2 gm of that.
Its orange colored,a bit rough on the throat,with a total body and mind stone.I were'nt expecting that,I had to spark up some more Jaamaicaan to get me going.Apparantly this used to be a bar,and looks like it,all wood and sawdust,I wish i'd known it then.
I was sat at a window overlooking the Patiserie the othre side of the alley,and got the munchies summat chronic,so went there and had the most amazing Cranberry and apple pie with a huge dollop of thick cream on top for about €3,,,dfuck it wsa tasty...
I forgot to take me camera "DOHHH!",but i'll take some pics tomorrow of what some kind soul sent me in the post and post em...
more later...

An excellent choice sirrah - go for it I can see that you've entered the spirit

keep goin for the STIX la'...you know it makes sense.

Probably because that's soapbar

I was stung with that in a shop in Gronigan last month - 4g of Zero Zero, I took it out the pack and realise what it was... I politely handed it back. I come from Glasgow, if I wanted soap bar I'd stay at home

Totally agree.
4 grams of sore eye socket please !
And if you could make sure it's riddled with clingy , that would be just the ticket .

Wicked, sounds like fun - wish I was with you

hahahaha. Totally... I wasn't really feeling the "home from home" vibe that baggie gave me

nice reporting!

ima smoke loads of hash too when i get there on saturday, i cant find no hash in london

blessss!

I'll have to try Picasso after all these times of not. Have you tried a better sativa since then? 8 a gram is an excellent price for a good sativa.

Thank you for your report and good job, especially for your first one.
