Re: 1-6 of Feb I'm back again...

Sure, what times? My 5G won't let me access this forum so I can only see here when I have WiFi. I've just checked into hotel, heading out after a shower. Not sure what CS I'll hit first. Maybe siberie. I'll try and log in here again once there if they have WiFi

Re: Freewheelen fietstocht

I agree with Lemming. What a fantastic travelogue. I would love to do something like this myself but I'm old, fat and haven't ridden a bicycle in 10 years! I would probably end up in the canal after a smoke if I were to try cycling anywhere :lol: although I feel inspired to get fit and make it a goa...

Re: A solos journey - 2.days, 1 night 8th/9th Jan '24

What a great read jollylittlehun 8) I enjoyed the part where you befriended some other tokers in a CS. Made me think back to some lovely interactions in Amsterdam in the past. Were you smoking half a gram in 1 joint? Trying to work out how you got to try so many strains in just 2 days but then agai...

Thanks! I agree but also learned from last year that things change and new places can be discovered amongst old haunts 8)

Re: Hotel Atlantis

I originally booked this hotel a year ago for my Feb '23 trip because of the Balcony for a morning/nighttime smoke and cancelled it for a hotel closer to central as I was only around for 2 nights. Reserved a balcony room again for next week but cancelled it after reading one too many awful reviews a...

Re: new rules or smoker frendly bars??

At Batavia last year the staff kept asking people to put their tobacco/cigarette packets away if they had them on the table. I had pre-rolled joints (with baccy) at the hotel so I was just smoking that and was fine. Felt like a lot of people were smoking a mix too which was a nice relief.

Loved reading this travelogue, HTN 8)

Noted down a few CS & strains you mentioned (and also a few bands sound great, not heard before).

1-6 of Feb I'm back again...

I drank way too much red wine tonight after some brutal work shifts this month and I've only gone and booked 6 nights in Amsterdam for next week :shock: You may remember me from a year ago. 5 times to the Damned travelogue. I found some cheap deals and thought 'why not' after saying 'never again' bu...

Re: Cafe Batavia 1920

Just to add I was here at the start of February 2023 and downstairs was closed. Smoking area is same level as bar but via a corridor at the back. Signs up saying only weed no tobacco but a few of us were still doing it. Just don't make it obvious/leave tobacco out etc. Tbf the ventilation was amazin...

Re: 2 Feb til 4 Feb

I've had similar experiences in Green Place and Popeye's with rude and ignorant budtenders. I've been in to Green Place since and didn't have a problem. Try not to let one bad experience ruin many potential good ones. You'll need to contact your phone network and they will remove the parental lock ...

Sorry mate just saw this now.

I agree and perhaps those vibes are now found in the cannabis clubs of Barcelona rather than Amsterdam.

Re: RLD smoking ban

I was about to share a similar article. Actually prefer blazing walking around RLD and other districts in the city centre than most coffeeshops tbf. I doubt it will be much change to how it is now. If you are a group of lads making a lot of noise, blazing in the street you might have a problem but i...

Re: Five time to the Dam(ned)

So sad but true ,thanks for the read buddy Thanks mate. Yeah, didn't mean it to sound so melancholy was just more of an observation. I think Amsterdam is an era/age thing. A bit like Camden Town, it definitely had its heyday in the late 80s to early 00s before turning into a parody of itself. Maybe...

Re: Five time to the Dam(ned)

Thanks for the report mate. The silver bubble seems to be going out of stock a lot more nowadays. Looks like I won't be going down to Roots then. Thanks for taking the hit :wink: Glad you're enjoying the Lemon Bubble. Have a great last night. Cheers! Yeah Roots might be handy if you're going to a g...
