Sunday 28th December
After finally getting to bed at 2am I rose and got showered and downstairs, at 12pm, oh well.
Been feeling really bad about my diet over the last few days, or is that my diet left me feeling really bad? Anyway, living on crisps and chocolate bars is not remotely healthy, so off to Hill St Blues for a Pineapple, Mango crushed fruit with Apple Juice fruit drink, with a shot of spirulina. This should get my body fired up with vitamins and minerals. While chilling I manage to get through another couple of spliffs of the laughing bouddha. I have to be honest about this trip, it is much clearer, but I am smoking quite a bit less, and subsequently having the opportunity to overcome things I'd normally be too wasted to think about overcoming. It's been a good trip so far, really enjoying it. Now looking to get deeper into it. Got back to the hostel at 1:15 and decided to post this.
I am now going to get a coat on and try and find Davide.
OOPS, while browsing who's in town, it seems I got the two meet and greets for yesterday and today the wrong way around. I thought it was 11am yesterday and 3pm today, turns out it was 3pm yesterday and 11am today, oh bugger.
If anyone wants to meet up, as a general rule I float between Basjoes, Rokerij II, Green Place, 420 and the hostel. Although you cant get into the hostel, I will be able to pick up pms
If anyone is interested in an evening in Basjoes, I'd look to go half in on a gram of terminator with someone, or in with a few people, whatever.
----Updated-----
Never got round to meeting up with Davide, as I got very stoned in the hostel. Then it was off out, so I set off to Green Place. Unfortunately there was an awful smell coming from the drains or something, so I managed 1 spliff and a cup of tea, and headed off to Basjoe's. Sat down with a drink and began working my way throught the Heaven Haze. When that was gone I sidled up to the bar and ordered 2g Silver Haze, it looked and smelled wonderful, and came in large buds, my bud weighed in just over 2g, cheers Leo
Eventually left there at 11:30 and made my way back home, where I spent the next few hours smoking before heading off to bed.

sound slike you having fun. The guys in Basjoe have always seemed reasonable. Ask for a half gram of the terminator, they should be happy.

Monday 29th December
Woke up and got breakfast at the hostel. Followed this with a wake and bake of laughing bouddha. Got chatting with some guys from the hostel, among them Garry who I'd met on my trip here last month. We headed off to the Rokerij II, where I picked the last bud (OMG Where have they all gone
) of laughing bouddha. It came in at 3.9g which was a bit much for me this morning, so he took the edge piece off and I got a nice bud at 2.9g.
We had a jolly good bake up on the Laughing Bouddha and the Santa Maria that Garry bought. When we left this was all that was left
Headed of to a restaurant, after walking all the way to Leidseplein, and I got a Thali from an Indian restaurant. It was very nice. Walked back to the hostel and baked myself silly with the last of the blue(berry) Cheese from Green Place.
Posted this report, and I'm gonna bake some more before heading off for another sit in down at Basjoes.
If anyone would like to join me, I'll be down there every night this week
-----Update-------
Got ever so slightly stoned in the hostel then headed off with Leo from Tokyo to Basjoes. We pull up and speak to Leo at Basjoe, and myself and Leo from Tokyo, lol, this is going to get confusing, go split half a gram of Terminator.
Leo from Basjoe asks me if I'm familiar with Terminator, and we launch into a long discussion about the cannabis cup, USBongLord and Terminator. I only actually saw Leo on 2 brief occassions on my last trip, so it was quite amusing to have the similar tales from the events of the cup. James was pretty much ever present on my last trip, but it's only going to be Leo during this one as James isn't back until the New Year.
Myself and Leo from Tokyo sat down and each rolled a spliff. Mine was a Cheese spliff from Basjoe, naturally, and we contaminated both with Terminator. We were pretty soon terminated and decided to get out early and back to the hostel.
Things then got very messy. The Terminator was activated at the hostel and the carnage was on a scale not seen before. Terminated victims left right and centre, it was one of the funniest experiences of my life, seeing everyone fall victim to the Terminator. Everyone loves it
Eventually, I tear myself away. I hide the Terminator away, unsure what damage he may reek in future..

Andy, I'm off in 17 days, they better have re-stocked, it's my favourite too! Know what you mean bout the internal dialogue, gets a bit freaky, but like you say, you just have to work through it, I love that that LB!! 
Posted: Sat 3rd Jan 2009 11:36 pm
I enjoyed reading your report, cheers Andy and sorry I couldn't make it, hopefully I catch up with you next time =).
I've also noticed the internal dialogue thing with different weeds, and the anxious energy thing is something I keep striving to conquer. Can't say I've managed to get totally wrecked in a coffee shop yet, I tend to leave at that point!!
The best thing I've done to help this is a vipassana 10 day meditation course, it really helps to keep track of all that dialogue.
Cheers for now

Hey All.
Well I'm back in the UK. Would like to say hi and thanks to all the fascinating people I have met over the last few days. I would also like to say I was very stoned the entire time.
My laptop died after the Monday update, so sorry to all the people who tried to get hold of me, Sorry.
Anyway, I will attempt to continue the thread as it comes back to me, but Monday night is when the Terminator was released, and all is a bit messy from that point
