... and the evidence from the double post above suggests that said substance was smoked sometime between the hours of 5:02 am and 5:35 am on Tuesday September 1 ...

Hey, it's actually damn good to hear someone else say it's strong so I don't feel like such a lightweight for having it murder me at HGF :lol: I remember mentioning in our report that even towards the end of our trip it was still strong as hell. Damn...if it wasn't so racy/trippy for me I'd have put it up much higher on the list. The Mrs still has it at #1, though :P

BTW, I wish you had the capability of taking photos with the microscope. It would have been absolutely sick to see a pic of that shit close up! :shock:

Life's been far too busy lately to give a really long and intricate update...
Right now I'm sitting in the library trying to wrap my brain around the influence of Post Modernism on Archaeological theory..........:roll:

yeah... it's a pain in the ass to say the least. I've been using my iolite vape pretty much exclusively for the past week or so... Gotta say it's a life saver.... I use MUUUUCH less weed and still get incredibly high.... Here I could easily go through an eighth in a day rolling joints... now it takes nearly a week for the same amount of weed.... now that's the wonders of technology eh? getting us higher for less!


I'm hopefully planning another trip into amsterdam one of these weekends... I need to clear my mind of all this extraneous academic jargon and have a simple, peaceful day....

I've been practicing my guitar work and associated harmonica ramblings... I hope to find a good street and Busk for a bit.... just for the hell of it... something to do eh? so if you see a funny looking guy with a guitar, harmonica and a seriously glazed look in his eyes.... playing "Piano man" on the guitar.....that could be me! :)


anyone elseo have experience with busking in the Dam? perhaps if i make a little cash it can fund my cannabis :)


peace all

Wait wait wait....you play guitar?? DUDE...I've been playing guitar for like 12 years! We definitely need to get back there and seriously hang out some time. I'd love to sit around and jam for a while :D Damn...further proof we didn't have enough time to get to know each other *shaking head*.

Glad to hear you're still having fun and living life. How's the Mrs doing with the transition?

Oh, and where the hell can I get my hands on one of those vaps?? I keep forgetting you have that thing and it sounds ridiculously useful.

Haha thats classic man.... I've been playing now for 9 years myself....
thought i'd see how much money I could get.... perhaps it'd pay for the weed :D we'll see eh?


The Mrs is doing fine, she's finishing a paper at the moment... the wonders of higher education.... wee! but she'a adapting quite well to dutch life... theres still a few annoyances to work out.... like the bloody bureaucracy of the government... it takes getting used to...


The vape's called an Iolite, and it'll save your life man! pick it up online at http://www.vapefiend.co.uk Thats where I got mine and it was the cheapest I could find....


its great... the guys who make it make precision butane powered tools...


but i digress... It's the start of a very long two weeks...
intensive course on DNA research... going to sauté my brain on high then smash it with a sledge hammer!

The new Harvest is in
So i must admit I've raved on here numerous times about my favorite shop, the Leidseplein but with good reason, their cannabis is primo and i have yet another example.

I've been smoking the Northern lights special for some time, and though it's a good smoke, some batches are a bit too airy and under developed... they're the Indoor grow from what I've found out. They also have Northern Lights Bio (which means grown in soil) and perhaps outdoors... although I don't know for sure... In any case they've been out of the Bio for a few weeks and I hadn't tried much of it... but to my pleasant surprise they have a wonderful new harvest!

the buds are tightly compacted and full of lovely yellow hairs and tons of white crystals... the smell is heavenly... a very piney aroma with an almost fresh hint of lemon...

Hitting it in the vape gives an interesting flavor. at first when it's heating up there is a slight woody musky flavor, but once the moisture is out the piney goodness just seeps in there...


The heavy high is clear thinking, with a body effect, but not fully debilitating... I don't get too much couch lock with this... it's a great smoke to ride on down the road to the park... or sit in and relax

gotta say my new favorite strain... I'll be buying a lot :)
here's some pics!

Neither whitesox... it's in a Coffeeshop in a city called Leiden. It's on the train between Amsterdam and Den Haag... about 35 minutes from the Dam, 15 from Den Haag... Lovely city with some great green

Looks, and sounds, like a great find *high five* :)

Really wish we were there. I'm still waiting for money to magically fall out of the sky so we can return and hang out *sigh*.

Hey Hippy,

you wanna do some climbing man? I found out about the wall in Ams, but you need at least 2, preferably 3 people for the training, and I can't find anyone else to go with, so was wondering if you fancied arranging something and providing me with the training yourself :)

I'll be back in Dam on Sunday, I'm in Munich at the moment.
