Went to the Van Gogh Museum in '06, but the shrooms kicked in just as we got inside and we left in a panic. Saw several Van Gogh self-portraits at the Musee D'Orsay in Paris. Unbelievable use of colour. Going back to the VG museum is at the top of my list for my next trip. Guess I'll lay off the shr...

In High School, we would smoke 2-3 joints everyday before school (0700) and be stoned until lunch. First thing in the morning is when you get the biggest bang for your buck. Never saw any reason to change. Still start the day with a coffe and a smoke.

Toke on!

Thanks, Boner. I remember reading about Kingston becoming Babylon.
The link to the ACD page for New Times says its closed. But brand new menu on FBN's site. So, I'm still confused.

new? shops

I always feel like I'm the last person to get the memo, but have some shops changed hands or new shops opened?
On FBN's menu page are menus from Babylon CS and New Times CS. Can't find either in ACD or map @ amsterdamhashmap.com.
Anybody know the story, location of these shops?

Toke on!

carrying

I made the trip in '06 and, of course, was carrying. What do you look like? I'm a middle-aged teacher. Nobody bothered me. But the stoner who was staggering through the train got his luggage searched while they (plain-clothes cops) sat on him in the aisle.

Toke on!

Re: Is High Times Cannabis Cup worth it?

Hello, I'm planning my 3rd trip to the Amsterdam. I'm wondering if the Cup is worth my time. Thanks for your input. Depends on what your expectations are. If you expect a "real" competition to determine the best weed and hash available in A-dam; if you expect to have input into that deter...

BUT, the only two black guys on the plane were having their luggage taken apart, piece by piece. Racial discrimination? Profiling? DUH!!! Tough to say without knowing what was said between the party involved and the security team doing the screening. We shouldn't be so quick to label things as prof...

Hotel Old Quarter

For several months I have checked HOQ on Bookings for a week-long reservation. Never stayed there before, but it seemed a good value- esp. since it seems to not ban smoking in the rooms. But, evrytime I check, there are no rooms available. I've tried multiple different dates, but same result. Has an...

Last time I (middle-aged white guy) came through customs from Schipol, it was Thanksgiving, '07. Had just done the HT Cannabis Cup. As usual, was carrying seeds (never tried to bring in anything else). Customs never gave me a second look. BUT, the only two black guys on the plane were having their l...
