Day 3

After an all day adventure of 4/20 I thought sleeping in might be in order, but 8:30am rolled around and I was up and ready for something to eat. Bluming had a room downstairs so we hooked up for breakfast. After another fine meal we headed over to Rokerij where Bluming bought some Silver Pearl Haze. Very nice smoke to start the morning, very clear head high.
We hooked up with Lafe and Zunkii at Rookies, where Lafe said he wanted to check out some coffeshops on the far west side. Had a good time, and found a couple of nice small shops. One was De Republic; I bought a gram of Mango
Haze, nice smell and very good buzz. Then over to Soft-land, not the one on the ACD map, this one is father west. After some misunderstanding at the door, we we’re all let in. Nice place, pool table, dart board and a nice view looking out onto the canal. We stayed awhile enjoying the pool and darts, since we had the place to ourselves. The day had moved along and Bluming needed to do some things. We split up, Zunkii and Bluming one way, while Lafe and I headed south to Greenhouse Tolstraat. I forget what Lafe purchased, but I got a gram of C-13 Haze. Very nice taste and high. Nice place to hang out. They had Joe Cocker on live in concert on the flat screen. Sounded good, went with that nice buzz I had going. We wondered over to another coffeeshop called Spirits. Didn’t buy anything but another nice shape to hang.
Lafe and I soon split, each going to our hotels to freshen up and meet at De Kuil’s around 7:00pm. As luck would have it, we all meet at he same time. We proceeded to head over to Amnesia for OHD’s vapo party. The place was packed. These Channel’s people have a nice following. We stayed a little while then headed over to Nes. Saw Blulara, so the 6 of us headed over to Rick’s Coffeeshop. We sat outside smoking lots of herb and hash, and then Blulara rolled a FAT joint of Purple Power Plant, tasty. Some of us were ready to call it a night, but Zunkii, Bluming and I had to take a trip through the RLD. It was a great time, lots of people out, the psssst, the ladies, it was great. After that adventure we headed over to The Old Church to smoke some more herbs and watch the people. Fortunately we got a table upstairs by the widow and relaxed for awhile. As we sat upstairs, Zunkii and I spotted the open Urinals they have, next thing you know we were outside using them. We both got a kick out of it, while Bluming just looked at us.
The night was getting late, so I said goodnight and see you at Nes tomorrow, to visit with DC. Headed backed to Rookies for a quick smoke and it was off to lala land for me. AzLaker 8)

I was disappointed two or three of the shops we visited immediately after De Republiek in the Oude West were non-existent.

There were maybe two on Van Limburg Stirumplein that had been replaced by something called "Hippos" that looked like a retail establishment. Another directly around the corner was missing also.

I had Maporama printouts of about 15 of these shops that tourists almost never visit, but I abandoned it after striking out thrice.

Dromenland/Vibrations is also nearby but they were not open at 2:00 PM.

As DC pointed out, in some cases there is a reason tourists don't frequent certain places. You may not be really welcome, depending on how "local" the place is. It's no different than some bars I'm aware of around here, outsiders aren't really welcome but you can go in if you like.

Oh well.....

AzLaker: I think Joe Cocker was on the tube at Spirit CS. I bought a gram of something there. Of course I failed to mark by bags even though I had plenty of Sharpies, and so by around Sunday or so I couldn't tell what was what in my stash.

Spirit is on Westerstraat, a few hundred meters off Prinsengracht.

Great report! It's really a treat to read about your (and eveyone's) 420 adventures.

I did manage to scrape together enough to spark up a bowl on my balcony, so I was with all of you, at least in spirit.

DC is the man @ Nes Cafe... Maybe send him a PM before you go to check his shifts etc.

Click Lemming's 4/20 report and scroll down, you'll see a pic with DC in it.

Days 4 and 5

Day 4

It was now Saturday and the whole week was going great. Headed down for another fine breakfast and then a nice fat joint of Super Silver Haze. Walked around the Leidseplein taking a few photos to show the wife. Saw that Noon was open and knew I had to stop in. nobody was there but the budtentder and one other guy. The place isn’t too big, so early in the morning was good timing. I bought a gram of White Melon. Had a very nice smell. Rolled a “j’ of the melon, very nice taste and buzz. Good conversation with the budtender for awhile then took off to hook-up with Zunkii and Bluming at De Kuil’s. A couple of Vapo bags later we we’re off to Nes Coffeeshop. Zunkii and I were going to head over to Stone’s to watch a soccer match, but DC had the game on and Zunkii was happy. Lafe was there when we showed up, so I wound up spending the whole afternoon there. Bought or sampled from others the entire weed on the Nes menu. Very nice selection of beer too. Thanks for everything DC, you’re the MAN!!! The knife with all the hash on it was from Nes.
Bluming stayed awhile, and then took off as she had to get home. Zunkii left soon after the soccer match to catch his flight home. Lafe and I just hung out and smoked pot or smoked some of his hash. Headed back to the Leidsplein but not before getting some food at Wak to Wok. A quick nightcap at Rokerij and I called it a night.


Day 5

Not much to write about as I’m leaving today. Walked around the Leidsplein awhile as it’s so nice and quite early in the morning. Bought some gifts for the family, and then headed back to Rookies. Saw OHD there, smoke a bowl and chatted at him for awhile. Meet another guy from Channel’s, JerkyPete49. He had just arrived and was getting my old room. Nice guy hung out smoke some pot and chatted awhile. One last trip over to Nes to finish any smoke I had, and then off to the airport. Almost got bumped from my flight, I was the 2nd to last person to get on. Sixteen hours later with no luggage and I was home. It took me 2 days to figure out what day it was. Zunkii and Bluming, I did call in sick Tuesday.
That’s it guys, 4 fun filled days of smoking lots of pot and hash. Meeting some very nice people and having a GREAT 420!!! I must do it again next year to meet more fellow ACD members. This will only get BIGGER!!! AzLaker 8)
