Looneytunes in the Dam - Trip Report Nov 2008

Day One – 24th November 2008

So after months of preparation and longing the time arrived. Destination Amsterdam!

4 am start so I could get to the airport on time, I need not have gone as early as it turned out the airport was dead and… *skip boring airport chatter*… so I got off the train at Amsterdam Central and picked up my dice. I had a list of 6 coffeeshops each had a number next to it. I rolled and the number 3 came up. So it was to be the Dampkring2 that was to be my first port of call. On the way I needed to pick up a pipe and a lighter so I popped into some random head shop and sorted it.

Thanks to the sexy ACD map I found Dampkring2 straight away and walked up to Mr Budtender and asked him what was good, he said it was all good (yeah thanks for that!) so I made a judgement call and bought 1g of Neville’s Haze 12€/g. Went upstairs, dropped my bags and stuff on the seat, filled my pipe and proceeded to get high, now although it gave a nice high, the after taste was so bad I gave the rest away to a random stoner somewhere. Now I see what I did wrong here I went for a banging haze as my first I should have started off with something a bit more Mellow.

So I was really high and I needed to make a decision on what to do next, and too stoned to remember I had dice I decided to take a walk towards my hostel. Here was my second mistake, I stayed at the Inner Amsterdam hostel and although it was clean and had delicious breakfasts it was miles away from the Centrum. Way down past the Van Gogh museum! Next time I am paying a bit more for a Centrum Hotel!


On my way down I spotted Mellow Yellow and as it was on my list of places to visit I popped in. Now I really liked the layout and atmosphere of this place and the little Terrier doggy resident was cool. He was like a super high dog! Made me chuckle. My purchase here was 1g of Cheese 10€/g. I spotted a nice seat by the window so parked my butt and decided to try and see if the cheese could rescue me from the crazy assed Neville’s high. Oh boy how well it did. This buy was my number one buy of the trip. After talking with a lot of people during my trip the general consensus was that the Cheese was especially good everywhere. Of all my bags this one was the one I was sorriest to see the end of. The high was a mixture of a nice cerebral and a heavy body lock. The taste was very cheesy and yummy aftertaste!

Now I faced a new problem, I was locked to the seat in Mellow Yellow and I was dying for a coffee. I could not even speak never mind order a drink. However I managed to get the bud tender dude’s attention and via the medium of sign language and attempted speech I managed to get a coffee, 2 loozas and Snickers. All without leaving my seat! Result!

After what seemed like an eternity, or 45 earth minutes I decided to hit the streets once more so I could check in, drop off my bag and get ready for the 6pm meet and greet SoulRider organised.

I managed to find my hostel, through sheer luck I might add! And dumped my bags and had a quick hour snooze. I then showered and put my happy face on ready for the night’s activities. Took a nice slow walk up to the 420 and chilled out along the way. Fancied a quick pint so went into Café Oporto and had a nice frosty pint of lager… yum! I also bobbed down a few notes from the day’s activities and reflected on what had happened so far. As I sat there some dude was playing darts and man he owned! 180 after 180. Could he be the next Raymond Van Barneveld?

So made it to the 420 Cafe meet at exactly 6pm, (can’t believe that) and met the gang, bloody good show for a meet and greet, I think everyone turned up with the exception of Beejun (gutted I never met you man). I made an initial purchase of 1g Caramello Hash 10€/g. This was an excellent hash and gave a divine high. The taste was superb! I sat at the bar with Andy (SoulRider) and proceeded to vape with him for the first time. Wow, I love vapes and I am planning on saving for one of my own!

Time passed and we realised that most of the meet had disappeared so we went to the back of the 420 and found the remnants of the group. More vaping ensued and I purchased 1g of NYC Diesel 10€/g. I decided to do some testing and mixed the Caramello with the NYCD in my pipe. Andy liked the look of this so I filled up one for him and we got incredibly high.

Andy was reeling off joke after joke, that guy is seriously funny man, just sit and listen to him sometime, he should go take up stand up comedy. Now at this point names escape me but one of the London dudes starting doing some shit hot magic card tricks. I loved these but not as much as watching the young looking American dude, not playing along with the trick and trying to balls each one up. Very funny!

About 12pm I decided to hit the Cheese which promptly screwed me to my chair and as the others left I was sat all alone, without a care in the world. I took a long walk back to the hostel picking up munchies along the way. Had a joint of Skunk and then watched Up in Smoke on my IPOD! Man those crazy cops are so funny in that film!!
Then the night captured me and I descended into the land of sleep.

Coming up… day 2! "The day that time forgot!" and a super strong Hash!

Day Two – 25th November 2008

I woke at 8am to the loud noise of my stomach rumbling. Breakfast was a calling so I headed on downstairs to get grubbed up. A nice bread/ham/salami/cheese/butter thing ensued, one word SORTED!

So plan for the morning was to go to Rokerij near Leisplien and buy some Laughing Bhudda then head on up to Basjoe to meet Andy (SoulRider). I left with the best intensions, I was really buzzing after my excellent first day.

I walked into Rokerij and took a look at the menu. I saw their Cannabis Cup entry hash there so I bought 1 g Royal Cream Gold 10€/g. I wanted a coffee so sat in the back on a really comfy seat, ordered a coffee and filled up my pipe with the Royal Cream. I thought this would be a good way to wake and bake… oh how I was wrong. 10 minutes later and I don’t remember a thing. This is what I have written down word for word in my notebook.

“Nice buzz, very smooothe, has hazelnutty after taste. Very sore feet, ow they hurt, hash making the pain go away. Need to get up and go to Basjoe… OMG… screwed sooo stoned… need bed…. aHHHHHH!”

Next thing I know I am back at the hostel in bed sparked out. I woke up and looked at my watch, 3pm. Gutted I have wasted a lot of the day and have missed the meet with Andy

Not wanting to spend my precious time in my sodding hostel I decided to hit the streets. Shower and a number two later and I was all set to go. Walked on up into the Centum again, oh my poor feet!! Found one of the coffeeshops I wanted quite by accident, Abraxas.

Went in and bought 1g of Amnesia Lemon 14€/g, this stuff smelled of Lemons! And the taste, well it was fantastic stuff. It felt like I had been drinking strong lemonade. I got very high and once more rolled the dice on what to do next. And the winner was a trip to the Burger Bar to try their Waygu Kobe burger. Tasty burger!!


Next I went back to 420 Café and got stuck into my purchases, next thing I know it’s close to midnight and my iPOD with Cheech and Chong and Doctor Who was calling me!! I smoked Cheese all the way back to my hostel and was totally baked by the time I arrived!!


Kind of a wasted day and I do mean WASTED!

Coming up… the trip on the boat and how much can I smoke on my last day before flying.

I spent some money on some decent walking boots and what a waste of time they were. Had severe blisters from day 1 alone!!

You need to wear new boots in gently. Try Superfeet footbeds and smartwool socks for comfort/support

Sorry to hear, but at least it's only blisters. I wear a pair of 3/4 high top Merrill hiking boots. Feet never feel a thing after walking on cobblestones all day. Very comfortable.
