Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

Woke up at 4.50 am, into taxi at 5 am and were off to go pick up my mate Paul. (his new passport arrived just days before the trip) Check in at airport no problems there, flight no problems either.

Landed at Schipol at around 9 Dutch time. This is when we encountered our first problems. Firstly neither of us had a watch secondly and more importantly I had left the acd map at home, fuck. Now we were relying on me for directions as Paul was a first timer. Anyone who knows me knows it's never good to rely on me especially after a few tokes

First stop was the Greenhouse down Haarlemstraat. I bought a gram of Trainwreck and a gram of OG Kush. Paul got Arjans haze and some lemon. Rolled a couple of spliffs and few minutes later I feeling all warm and fuzzy. From here we head to Dampkring 2. AS we leave Paul says to me that he feels fucked. I laugh at him. Few moments later he starts to walk like Mr Soft in those ads from 80's and basically collapses on floor


First I'm worrying that he is gonna be alright so I grab him a coke and make him sit up. Now I been toking with him for over a decade and I never saw him this wasted. After a few moments he comes around and now it's time to take the piss out of him. He sees the funny side and we agree to go grab a drink and chill for a few moments.

Now after my initial concern for him I basically made fun of him for the next 30 mins which gave me some amusement and kept his mind occupied for a while, my intention is to get him back in the game straight away. Cant have him lightweight on me after only being there an hour

On to Dampkring 2 now. I got a gram of Dalia, Umma Gumma, King Hassan, White Russian and G13 Amnesia. Paul gets Malana cream, Mexican Haze and some tasman haze. Although he sits out the first couple of spliffs. So I bogart down a J of the Rifman Dalia and a mix of the king hassan and G13. At first we were only ones on the 2nd floor but after 30 mins the place was pretty packed. The girl working the drinks part came upstairs and asked if we wanted a drink. Coincidentally we did, so no worries. However some lads next to us said they didn't want any and she basically told them if they wanted to stay and smoke they had to buy a drink If it had of been me - I'd just spent 50 euro on smokes and I don't think I would have appreciated that.

We leave Dampkring an I'm pretty wasted already and its not even midday as we walk back toward Damarak way I head into picasso for a buy and fly. I remembered a couple of guys here mention the 5g for 21.5 euro. That sounded to good to not partake. The bag was full of tiny buds and general bits and pieces. Not a good looking lot but a spliff of it later in day proved to be most pleasant. A real bargain in my opinion. Paul gets a gram of white widow but we don't smoke any of that just yet. The budtender gives us a bunch of skins and tips which was nice of him and again we are back on street.

By this time my partner in crime was getting his second wind, I take him to see the Palace and the Homo monument. That would be the extent of the sightseeing for today. Next mission is to find Bajoe to get some Terminator. Now baring in mind we didn't have the map this could have ended u badly. Somehow though my addled brain told me this - go through the hookers area into small square and then follow canal. Who needs more directions than that? so the plan was agreed and we mong off toward the hookers.

The quality of ladies during the day in the rld was variable to say the least. Neither of us were gonna use any of their services but always nice to sneak a peek we seem to be in right area so we keep walking. We see Greenplace and I know for sure we are in right area. Soon enough we get to Basjoes. No need for a menu I know what we want. The friendly budtender tells me they were out of the dry version. No problem as I was after the sticky anyway. He offers me a loaded pipe of terminator for free and its tempting but we still had things to do (plus I didnt want to get to wasted I was the responsible one on this trip lol) so I politely declined. He then offers Paul it but that wasn't gonna happen, he already almost whitied if he had done it I would have had to drag him all around town for rest of day. No this terminator was for rainy days back home.

After we leave here we head toward Bluebird and our luck is still in as we find it with no problem at all. I order up a gram of Caramello from the nice blonde budlady and Paul gets some blue cheese. We sit downstairs and toke a while.

Leaving there we go back through rld getting slightly lost along the way but some fellow Brit overhears us and points us in right direction. We go to get some food at KFC. This was defiantly the worst purchase of the day. Fries tasted bland, chicken was dry and it cost basically 8 euros ate barely any of it and decided to go to a bakery instead. Here I grabbed some doughnuts and I was feeling good to go again.

Into the rld bar, first place we dropped into that wasn't planned but it was there and we wanted smokes so fuck it in we go. Looking at menu nothing really interests me but the blackberry cheese at 15 euro surely to expensive and to be honest I was to stoned to really note the effects but the name sold it to me. If postal gods are kind to me I will update you later. Paul also gets some Orange bud and a chunk of caramello.

Ended our day at 420 cafe where I planned to smoke from my remaining stash but we bought a gram of blueberry to smoke between us to. The muisc in here was great Captain Beefheart, Hendrix etc and a chill place to get a little more high for the journey home.

After a brief detour to post some souvenirs we get to centraal station, train ride and plane ride home all went smooth. Paul fell asleep straight away but I just zoned in and out for a while back in Southampton and for the first time in my life I wasn't pulled over by security for questioning. I don't know how I did it, perhaps by hiding my hair under my hat did it we didn't have anything on us anyway but nice not t be hassled after a days solid smoking

So after 8 hours of walking and toking I'm back home. Luckily my first ever grow was completed a week before hand and although not cured completely I couldn't resist cracking into a bud or two. A nice spliff of this soon brought back that familiar head space. I came on here intending to post but I couldn't see straight so instead I stuck on Heaven up here real loud and just zoned.

Pics hopefully to follow when I can review the weed and hash in a way in which I know what did what to me and not just added to the existing buzz.

A nice day out m8 cheers for the report

sounds like you had a great day. thanks for that

Enjoyed that thanks

yeah man that sounds some daytrip

I can't say I wouldn't do the same... a true day warrior.

Great work on coaching your buddy through a whitey, that could have been a monumental dissaster.

From my own research, over many years of trial and error... there is one rule I always follow when smoking... make sure you have from non-diet pop around, and try not to do it on an empty stomach... this will eliminate whitey chances.


thanks for sharing your trip!

nice 1 Carlos, thanks for taking the time.

I reckon we were in Dampkring II at the same time, lol.

Oh yea, good report bruv

liquidswords - we may well have been but I didn't see anyone matching the descriptions you gave. I was long haired guy all in black (and on a sunny day would you believe) with the wasted guy in a greenock morton shirt

Probably just missed each other, shame you could have witnessed my mates comedy tumble outside the greenhouse if the timing was right

thanks for posting, this was a good report well done finding basjoe! coulda been dodgy
