Looks dangerous!

I wonder if you could use a glycerine tincture to fill an "e-cig" / pen-style vaporizer? the liquid for filling my e-cig comes in the form of a propylene glycerine solution.
Is that the butter or the fudge in your pic? probably fudge,looks a bit too light-colored to be butter?

Eating is a great effect and i think it's a shame that there's so much inconsistency in the coffeeshop's edibles. i still prefer to fire up my own crockpot i usually make a batch of 100gr butter + roughly 10 grams strong weed to make about 8-10 regular sweet muffins, they freeze well and I've kept them for several months at -18 celsius.
since going vaporizer-only, i've been saving up a bunch of vaporizer leftovers (a pound or so) that might be useful, although i'd rather extract them into something more dense than butter (maybe a tincture, or an oil).

the tincutre can be smoked so i have read, although i have never tried, i prefer to just put a drop under the tounge I sadly don't have much left, maybe about 10ml in the syringe on the side of the plate int he photo. I did not make the tincture either, a friend from cali gave me a fluid ounce bottle a while ago..... it's been well used The 2 trays are butter and the fudge is wrapped in film on the side.

Hadnt done space cakes since i was at college (long time ago now) so thought i would try the one from paradox as i saw on here it is suppose to be the strongest.
Ate the whole thing while waiting for the plane back to the UK. Tasted nice, but no effect whatsoever.
Wont be a repeat purchase.

I gave up on space cakes some time back.

Now, I get through passport control, make my way to the cafe nearest my gate and dissolve blond hash into hot chocolate. I normally have a small bite to slow it down, and consume it right before queuing up for the security check.

I usually do a gram, YMMV as you're going across the Channel and I'm flying around 9 hours. In any event, it makes for an amazing nap on the plane

Finished with bought space cakes here as well. I do a similar thing with hash as I'm approaching the security checkpoint. Eat it a little chunk at a time washed down with water. By the time I collapse into my seat on the plane any length flight is shortened by 7-10 hours of unconsciousness.
Delightful way of 'disposing' of leftover hash as well.
Timing is crucial. Leave it as late as possible to avoid mobility problems on the way to the plane.

Re: timing - yes, the last thing you want is to go through the international flight interview as your head starts to reel.

On a somewhat recent flight, it really kicked in hard. I fell into a deep sleep. A few hours later, I awoke to the beverage cart just beside and an Angel of Mercy handed me two cans of Heineken and some water. Perfect.

Another time, the aircraft had to turn around and go back to Schiphol for a medical problem onboard. Buzzkill.

And yet another time, we had to land @ Heathrow to attempt to repair the water system onboard. After two hours, it was determined we would leave and flush the toilets with bottled water. Buzzkill.

Out of interest how much hash do you put into your hot beverage? I might try this the next time i go, but obviously dont want to waste the hash by putting too little in. Nor do i want to look like im drug crazed at customs by putting 'too' much in.

[gapie]

maybe you need to up your dosage if eating is not doing anything for you.

I have some homemade cannafudge, it's uber strong if anyone wants a bit?


I love baking with herb

cannabutter is so versatile cannabutter lemon curd has been made in the past and then cannabutter cookies with lemon curd


2oz amnesia haze made 2LB of very potent butter

Also got some glycerin tincture, wow!

mmm yammie throw a bit of butter to me lol I will put in my tea

[Chostard]

LOL!

Space cakes are weird. First time I ate a full space cake, no noticeable effect. On my last trip decided to do the trick from magic truffles, eat on empty stomach. Like the label states wait for two hours to feel the effects. So I did, nothing. Was tired and feeling sleepy. Took an hour nap. When I woke up I was feeling a very light head buzz. I was really disappointed. Was hungry so decided go out for dinner. Showered and got ready to leave. By now over 3 hrs have passed. Got out of the hotel, got to the corner, AND Holly Moses! Sht hit me really hard. Felt like a freakin zombie!
Walked into the corner store to load up on Bounty's, M&M's and Coca-Cola. Needed to eat and try to get rid off the effects.
I knew I'd never make it past the corner of the hotel! And walked back to my hotel room. Was semi-comatose for at least 7 hours.

Ate them at 3 pm, they hit me around 6:30pm, it was 1am and still feeling the effects, at this point I dozed off til next day.

Be careful with these things. The effects are not pleasant for me. Timing sucks. Pure physical and mental impairment, like carrying a dozen bricks inside of your head. Smoking this material is much more pleasant.

Best,
Chostard

I love this place. It feels relaxed, chilled, uncomplicated and just right. Nice smoke, nice drink and nice folk. Around Queens day this year I was absolutely impressed hearing the young Bud-tender taking 10 minutes explaining to a couple of first-timers how to experience weed. First class advice - first class CS. Pig to find if stoned - so plan ahead.

Hey guys, has anyone on here been to paradox lately? I have only had the Finger hash once and everytime I make the trip up to Amsterdam they are always " waiting on more ". I know the coffeeshop has more to offer but if im honest I just want some Finger hash

Sean.

Maybe about the right time now with the cup crops having been trimmed and hopefully curing away nicely.

You could send Ludo a mailey.... ludo@paradoxamsterdam.demon.nl or bell them on +31 (0)20 6235639. Either way it is a cracking shop to relax in, Finger Hash or not.

I do 1-1.25 grams, with something very light to eat in order to slow it a bit.

But, I have a 9 hour flight so it's over by the time I land. It lasts 5-6 hours for me, normally involving a sound sleep.

Had a lovely morning in here, wasn't feeling the newish decor on my last visit but this time it felt just like Paradox always has, a unique and special place with great service and a chilled atmosphere.

They had a few new things on their weed menu (its basically been Ace - Kandy Kush - SSH on my last few visits), was quite well stocked so I only had €5 of the Casey Jones which was good but I'd need to try more to say more. Also bought €12 of the Wash hash (think I got 0.8g for that) which was great stuff. I occasionally try some of the reportedly better hashes in the city but usually feel I don't quite 'get' them, this time however I laced a couple of joints with a tiny bit of the Wash and it was like adding rocket fuel to them. Recommended.

Also bought 1.6g of the Afghaan for €24, looked like lovely black soft sticky gooeyness - decided to entrust to the postal system so hopefully can report on that in a few days
