Plantpot in Amsterdam.

Post by plantpot »

:oops: I had intended to write a report while i was away, but you know how things get. So much Canna - so little time.
In fact i didnt use the Net or my phone the whole week.

My reason for coming to Amsterdam was my 50th birthday . I just wanted to be able to smoke a joint on my 50th and not be made a criminal - like here in UK - for doing somerthing that harmes no other and does me a lot of good..

I left home about 4.30 to get the 7am flight, feeling shattered after not getting much sleep thinking about the alarm not going off -

So on the plane...
Oh how i wish i had my earplugs in my hand luggage not in my case.. as there was a demon possesed child screeming for the entire flight.. :x
I think everyones head was done in by the time we landed.
So you can bet i had my earplugs ready for the return flight, just in case same Demon was sitting right behind me ?
Not a chance- Doh ! :lol: - and it was :cry:
..after finishing off Willie Wortles Citral ( herb) i was a bit forgetfull..


I had a while to kill before checking into the apartment so went to Greenhouse ( the one u can sit outside)

1g OG Kush 11e
1g Trainreck 10e

Smoked the Trainreck in a pure joint and felt very, very stoned and tried to take it all in..
Last time i was here it was 1976 and boy have things changed :shock:
For the better ! Not many coffee shops in 76 :(


It may have been an idea to check into the apartment first as my mouth had turned into sandpaper after the joint and i could barely speak to the owner :lol:

The apartment itself was very nice indeed - facing Flying Dutchmens place on Achterbergerwall canal..
It was booked through City Mundo and cost nearly 600e for 6 nights - Sat - Thurs.
It contained 2 single beds, kitchen area with microwave , coffee etc... Tv, and nice leather sofa..

Spent the first evening watching the small boats sail up the canal, with people having their little picnics and partys on board..

I was too tired to go out and not being a drinker .. i finished the herb and slipped into a blissfull sleep... thinking - "32 years later and ive finally made it back"

end of day 1
more to come..


ps...I do have some good photos - how do i post them ?

:D The rest went something like this -

Sunday =

Greenhouse,
1g KING HASSAN
1g LEMON HAZE
1g BUBBA KUSH
1g CHEMDOG

Rokerij 11
2g Chocolope

Barneys
1g Nepalli Temple balls
1g Amnesia Haze
1g Blue Cheese

MONday

Greenhouse
1g Super Silver Haze

Popeye
1g Aladin 14e

Amnesia
1g Red Cherry Berrry
1g pink Kush = like this alot

Grey Area
2g Martian mean green
1g Golden Soles

And then BASJOE - which i see has been getting high praise.. we all got on well with James, who gave me lots of little samples for my pipe when i told him id been there in 1976 -
( the BAS Special is very special indeeed..

purchased -

1g Himalaya Cream = very bubbly
1g Cheese = what a taste.

Then round the corner to Russland -
Where we discovered and used that huge bong they have in the window

They had some Afgan border at 4e per gram which seemed very cheap - tried 1g- ah well..
Same with the cheap Black Russian Isolator at 9e per 1g

On the other hand - 1g White Balloon = Great smoke

TUESDAY
Hired a bike, and got to know the city
Back in Basjoe at some point....
1g AK
1g Jack Herer - both excellent and cheaper than the big names..

WEDNESDAY

Cycled to Vondelpark in the sunshine in the morning

Greenhouse
2g Hawaain Snow- Super smoke

It was mid aftenoon and the sun was balzing down when i finally tried the
Dampring
Went and asked for a Latte and was asked to remove my sunglasses as it was house rules, by the sad faced bird with dark hair , i did , and she gives me the most dirty look - as if i were a smack head or something - Must have been the Hawaain Snow.. ? 8) so i made my way to the bud boy who was nice and sold me -
1g Lavender which had no Lavander taste at all.
I had my coffee upstaires away from the dragon lady and smoked 1g pure spliff of tastless Lavander .
Soon the dragon apeared spitting fire at people who had only just finished their drinks - and were relaxing with a smoke.
Buy another drink or leave now type of thing...

After hanging out down Basjoe with the lads A+ J and James -(who has THE longest dread lock ive ever seen )- in his cool coffee shop and the friendly peeps at Rusland and Greenhouse, this place felt like some cheap Fascist nightclub - the decor wasnt anything at all and it felt small and cramped.
I am sure theres plenty of you who love this place but for me it was commercial crap on that occation.



THURSDAY

Train to Haarlam

Willie Wortles - the big one upstairs with the pool tables across the town

1g Powerplant = one of the most pleasant highs of the entire trip. Sat outside upstairs with a cofee and the joint of PP.


Maxamillion

1g LA CON = This was the most mouth watering weed of the trip
Given a Free Sample = to celebrate them re opening after being shut for a time due to having too much wed on the premisis
The girl there was nice and friendly and they had a good mixture of tunes playing.

Willie Wortle sativa - near the train station

Was greeted by Nol himself who as there putting up some new grow light reflectors as lamp shades...
Had a chat about his new apartments that now open in Spain - they look really cool on the website.

1g Citral weed = knockout.

Haaarlam is cheaper for weed and hash and i do recomend the 20min train ride there.. the place was totally laid back.

Overall this was a fantastic trip with no problems apart from big hole in pocket 8)


Overall i was very impresssed with the buds and the hash was wonderfull :D

Topshops = Basjoe
Greenhouse
Rusland
Amnesia
Grey area for the buds
Willie Worts + Maxamillion in Haarlam

Memorable smoke -
Aladin hash
Pink kush
Chemdog
Trainreck
S Silver Haze
Powerplant + Citral
La Con
Everything at Basjoe.

There were 42 empty bags my bin when i left the apartment...

I didnt come across anyone from ACD sorry to say but made 2 good friends in A + J ... just so happens A works in a grow shop..

The full video will be on youtube soon.

There was also i nice visit to Bluebird coffee shop,
They had some hash said to be Leb, but it didnt taste or smell anything like the Leb of old.
The very friendly bud tender did say that it wasnt like typical Lebanese..
It was very much like Morroc - which i do love....but....Hmmmmm ?

Anyone else tried it ?? OR, found any decent Lebanese anywhere ??


Also purchased - 1g of very strong G13...
and sat outside in the baking sun.. with a very, very tasty joint indeed...
