Lessons in fun and folly

Friday
Well,after an early start we arrived at Central Station around 9.45am and went straight to Popeyes for breakfast,The lads ordered their "special breakfast while I ran down to Barneys and bought 1g Red Dragon 7/10,2G Dr. Grinspoon 10/10 and 1g G13 8/10 all of which were very nice,the Dr. Grinspoon was by far the best of this group,I would strongly recomend it even though its quite pricy.
Upon returning to Popeye the lads had ordered themselves a "special"Breakfast{coctail sausages just is not right}.The lovely Lady then brought out her peace pipe and.well effed us up.Here we got 1gPink Kush 8/10,1g Aladins Chocolate 6/10and 1g Silver Haze 6/10 all of which were nice but the star here was the Pink Kush..lovely.
We stumbled out of Popeye to our rented houseboat"Rose Blossom",There was pleanty of space but the general decor can only be described as 80s porno shabby chic..I liked it but was the only one of the 5 of us that appreciated it...dont bring your Girlfriend here,she probably wont appreciate it.That said It was less than 10 minutes walk to the train station and only 10 minutes walk from Newmarket and Dam square{once you get your bearings}
We settled in and tried most our our purchases..nice buzz all round but for my money
Dr Grinspoon was nirvana in a ciggy paper.At this stage it was time to venture out and feed up..in this state in Amsterdam nothing is simple......Eventually we arrived at Stix2 and bought 1g of gunpowder 7/10 and 1g of excellent Diesel 9/10.The budtender here was without a doubt the friendliest that we came across excepting the lads in Barneys who seem to do the McDonnalds"have a nice day".We headed west from Newmarket for Dam Square only to find ourselves back just north of Newmarket Doh!
Now things took a turn for me personally,the lads wanted a drink and we found a little specialist beer bar,after chugging a half pint I left them and bought a pure prerolled white widow,since I could not be seen by the lads as I had to go up-stairs I smoked this in about 3 minutes..WOOOOAH!...My head was swimming so I returned to the gang who after finishing their drinks needed food,while waiting outside for them to be served
I WENT DOWN and the lads tought I was having a heart attack He HE. Low blood sugar and dehydration cought me out,after a can of coke and sit down I was escorted back to the boat where I drank the best part of 3 liters of water before I could have a piss.
AT THIS POINT I HAVE TO POINT OUT...EAT and DRINK REGUARLY or this could be you..
This sorta spoiled things for me and I took me the best part of the next day to return to confident smoking
I will say ot again..EAT and DRINK REGUARLY !
That evening we wandered around slightly buzzing,had a great greek meal and I started to feel human again and was itching to start again but every time I suggested lighting up the boys gave me one of those looks,ya know,the are you nuts look.Back to the houseboat and a few more smokes.Zzzzzzzzzz
Saturday
Up early,9ish with a few buts to finish.nice start considering we were consintrating on the sativa end of things.Out the door with a spring in my step around 10.30ish and on to a tram down south to the Heiniken Experience where we briefly met ilumanati...Jesus...What a load of bollocks...We had booked online for 15 euro,and only 3 smalish drinks were complimentry.I have to say that I felt sorry for the people working there,its almost as if they were ashamed of the value for money{bar one ass who tried to tell us how to enjoy Beer..DOH!}
Next over to Katsu {go to love their vape setup}to find its location for a later meet and great.2g special haze6/10,0.4g crystal clear isolator9/10. Had'nt intended on the isolator but Basjoe had nothing available in either types but it was well worth it,the name tells it all "Crystal Clear" high high high and can be really nice for breakfast Mmmm,lovely. After this we wandered to the nearby park and chilled for a few hours before the meet and greet.This is a really nice spot,we wached a few ducks for ages{away with the birds} and there was an Oriental family doing movements to music{cant rememberthe name of the martial art involved},this was one of the most relaxing things that I have ever watched. We had a meet and greet at Katsu at 3.30 but no show from anyone,which I can understand. Even with the best of intentionsbefor you go to amsterdam sometimes nay more likely your to baked to even talk never mind meet.So we wandered back up to the boathouse and got some more of our gear smoked.I was starting to rock again. We wandered over to the easterly sidestreets off Damrak,had a great feed and a few G and T and headed towards the nightlife area and ended up in a club with a balcony for smoking didnt stay too late and as usual back to the boat for a really good puff,I'm not sure what time I fell asleep Zzzzz.
Sunday
This turned out to be the best day we had.We inebriated ourselves and headed to the Botanical gardens,had a tasty early lunch and then went to view the gardens.I loved this especially the butterfly house,highly recomendable is thats your sorta thing.The group split at this point,the lads headed to Vondlepark while myself and my brother hit the centrum to da a bot of shopping and would you believe it we ended up coming across Grey Area.God but its tiny,with tour groups stopping outside reguarly to take photos.I bought 1g OG Equatorial Sativa 10/10 and 1g of yello cab 7/10.
This left me with a question to debate with myself as to what was my favourite between Og Sativa and Dr. Grinspoon,both expensive admittedly but great,leaving me with the conclusion that little seperated them both but I would recomend that everyone should try at least one of them with a clear head,excelent way to kick off any day.
We ate and watered before heading over to 420 to meet Cisco...top bloke with a capicity to smoke that sorta put the fear of god into me considering what happened to me on the previous Friday. Anyway,Cisco rolled up a pure bluberry that tasted and smoked real nice,next thing we knew a valcano balloon arrived at the table...Kaboom!...I was toast and the old homeing beacon activated and we left,I had to crash for a bit. Sorry to Cisco for not hanging around longer but you effed me up buddy,big thanks,we will get it right next time.
After a recovery snooze we hit the town for the last night,here and there and finally ended up at Kandinsky 1g LA Confidental 6/10..it was nice to have a drink while having a smoke,but was a little disappointed in th LA Con,maybe it had something to do with the fact that I had built up a little tolerance.
Back to the boat to finish off some of our leftovers,ever tried gunpowder/silvre haze/red dragon/aladins chocolate on one J...sheech!Zzzzzzzzzz.
Monday
Early rise again,skinned up 4 mixed Js with the leftovers and started with a little of katsus isolator..nice. Did a bit of pressy shopping.Was supposed to go to a M+G in Katsu oops! to baked,we were in the process of finishing our stash at Kandinski,sorry to anyone that I let down...................Landed in Cork at 21.30................I will be back!
The End.
P.S.
Lessons Learned
1.In the summer drink pleanty
2.Keep a bag of sweeries in your pocket
3.Keep your travelling group small,or you will never decide on what to do next.
4.Learn the tram system.Amsterdam is a bitch to walk around stoned.
5.Sativa in the morning,you will get something done.
6.You dont need to only buy the"superstar"grass.the cheaper stuff is real good too.
