back to room.. (i havent even had a Smoke Yet). right chunky joints mess up the first one second one is better but didnt put best smoke in it so 3rd time lucky a little mix of king kong - silver bubble - casey jones & tidighin - trans himalayan and half of the jupiter OG ice packed the top (for lemming). .

(5 weeks ago)
went to doctors my back and right leg has been hurting when standing & walking, doctor believes its a trapped nerve? and gave me some tablets. not to much of a problem got 5 weeks to get it back right
(3 weeks ago)
went back to doctors it hurts more but still says yes its a trapped nerve 2-6 weeks did ask for stronger pin killers and got a No. its like ive got constant cramp down my right leg and bottom of back, sitting down you would hardly notice it but standing, walking and slepping its bloody agony.
(17th april)
not gone not happy about it but what could i do got my dad and brother to send some of the pain killers they have neither arrived in time (gave them 2 weeks bloody notice Bastards)..

back to story..

walk down to Nes 9:20 throughout the day the pain got slightly worse (Amsterdam is Packed) ques everywhere and im sweating so much its a joke. walk to nes and can see its packed i decided not to put the sticker on
Image
im thinking of only fools and horses episode where they dress up as batman & robin to the funeral i know its a little sticker but couldnt get thought of everyone turning and starring at me (at this point im 100% straight) so im not getting a little paranoid, the place is always packed but it ram packed tonight.
Toke & Talks i dont want to start asking are you acd ? dave (DC) is swamped with customers so how do you know WHO ARE ACD?? its a piece of PISS just look for
Gapie : AKA Stan..
Image
so i first say HI to Stan and get the low down (Ops) well theres 2 groups a severely fucked up lot out front and this table (theres loads) min easy 20 people gapie points out islandgirl. (those who know gapie know he can get excited) and hes had ages with them so the rest well lets say i have NO IDEA i think he points out 08-420?? Hi, dirty uncle ron?? Hi, points outside to blueberry talking to wolf dangler?? ?? ?? ? ?? ? ? ? ??
i could do with a seat my leg is really hurting but theres no seats (well i do see people go to the toilet) i could nik there seat? No thats rude let me try leaning heavy on this, no that doesnt work either for. 5 mins i tried getting comfy with no luck as stan pointed things out , as i was totally straght and didnt want to be rude i listened i tried to i smiled, frowned, laughed and looked serious in the placed i thought (still Straight)i broke off the conversation with gapie (i love you stan (not in a gay way) and never change) but you were very excited and i couldnt understand once you got going. so now go to bar to get a drink from DC when its my turn and get a coke (hold on ive been running round part of amsterdam, im 100% staight and i asked for a coke YES im a twat. before i pay he asks who i am ?? who are you OH ACD yeah who are you ?? who am i let me think im stuart. he looks at me, then again and one last time (im thinking thats wierd)then he says Your Straight! :oops: yeah i straight. drinks on me. did i say that it was really hot in nes tonight every time i wiped my face sweat was falling off. so back over to table no free seats everyones in what looks like deep conversations should of arrived early but then i would not have such a good selection for someone whos been in town about 3 hours (i prefer my way even with its drawbacks). vaps are going round and round im looking like the odd one out and remember i have joints so first joint is intensive care(dont get me wrong it is nice bud but i like to start off with something stronger). Trad shows himself and says Hi, Hestia sits down at the free chair (how didnt i see the chair?) hestia passes the forms, (i am now stoned :D ) chat for a few and pass joint to gapie (it was always going to be gapie) move out the way for someone, its ftcarer HI.. my leg is killing me so i do all that i can and start the other joint (looks like lemmings not coming) Now im Stoned the jupiter og ice has a lovely hit to it and as i packed it, its hitting hard. go outside for cold air, im dripping wet look at the outside bunch of smokers ACD?? they were totally wasted and had the best seats with cool wind did i say they all looked dead slouched in the seats, go to the toilet check out the hair (got it cut 16th and my hair can just stick up), come back in and lemmings standing where i was (probably looking for a seat) stand behind and say Hi got a Hi right back a quick Hi to the Mrs. as hes just arrived he asks whos here i explain i dont know i asked gapie? points out a new bunch of people as the jupiter og ice hits even harder nod my head and pass him the joint he asks about my sticker
Image
i think i said something like what where it and look a right twat (i was scarred of that sticker not sure why)lemmings now talking to someone else and i scan for chairs its even more packed and i limp back to hotel for seat and smoke.

DAY 2..

wake up at 7am and make some joints for the day, i will need them.
Image
toke & talk at voyagers for 10am get in a little late no FBN yet say Hi to stan and trad another hi to 08-420 and ft carer say hi to rasa and his friend (sorry about that)when i said hi i had worked out that my leg is pretty much fucked for the rest of the trip and i wasnt really happy started off with lemon kush wasnt to lemony would of preferred the lemon bio. buy a gram of the OG 18
Image
wasnt in stock yesterday give highly blessed the jerky seasoning thing he wanted but hes friend was even happier, sit back down talk to trad try the king kong (the buds looked beautiful dense with a little bit of spring to it reminded me of my mates affro, tasted lovey as well but lacked a little in strength.. say goodbye to FBN hes got cards to right your name on legs been hurting more when im standing still so limp it outside, got plans today de pijp and meet up at 1:30 with gdahlberg55 at central station to be honest not sure how far i can go but deiced to try at least. get tram you can buy the day tram pass on the tram now, no seat just my luck pass on getting off at mellow yellow and staight to albert cuypstraat. roun the corner to
Image

&

Image

walk round to Katsu

Image

&

Image

& Best Smoke by a Mile

Image

buy an orange juice from the market didnt taste nice but was needed as today was another mini heat wave sat by tram stop thinking thats it for me today im afraid to say pain is becoming unbearable so get tram back to dam square instead of my room i choose

Image
yes it looks that disgesting in real life like its half burnt half moldy

&

Image

got a bit of spare time before 1:30 meeting with griffin sit down near canal boats theres a nice breeze and private enough for a joint. didnt want to let Gdahlberg55 down its hes first trip to dam, he doesnt have a mobile phone so the odds it will happen are ZERO got a picture of him and he says this blue shirt at 1:20 sit by main doors 1:30 try looking at other doors nope back to main doors, theres no way ill find him look up see this bloke looking at me with a half expecting grin look back at picture look up again and hes still grinning. Griffin?? Yes i point out lots of pointless and none meaning crap, he needs to check in hotel (the flying pig) once in there giving me shit about waiting for him so i just sat down he comes back changed (its bloody hot) first place he wants to see is Grey Area besides the palce and up near HGF then take the alley twice and spot the marker on the bridge (i dont know amsterdam that well i get lost very easy but i know coffeeshops and use markers like in goonies (one eyed willie) and the head on the bridge is the marker i dont think hes watched the goonies hes young and asks what he should get say no to casey and yes to silver bubble but just ask the bud dealer, tell him what your after strength wise taste (blank face) just ask for silver bubble mate
so hes first buy was silver bubble he loves the look the smell..
silver bubble close up
Image
now head to anyday and im struggling a bit didnt ask for advice now hes a pro and gets ??
and i get
Image give him a pure joint of silver bubble and hes stoned hes grin is even bigger i normally like showing newbies around but my legs and back needs my attention more i mention 420 meeting and decide to show him 420/de kuil i think he get the blueberry and so do i looks lovely and shiny (cant find pics sorry). griffin put hes under the microscope he loves it hes really really happy now are drinks are at the table before we are were sitting and both looking at bud counter and somethings got hes eye is it the bong ? No. is it the fit woman ? No. is it the Vaporizer? Yes Yes YES load up with silver bubble have a second bag and third i know what happened but i think hes seen which actually didnt happen plus the fact hes mentioned hes stoned every 10 seconds for the last few minuets i think hes really stoned and he wants to go back to the flying pig (thats why we went to 420/de kuil as its right near the hotel and we part ways and i slowly hobble back to my hotel where i bumped into ft carer leaving mentioned my leg/back playing up and he brought some tablets for me from now on you will be known as superftcareer(big big thanks to the Mrs).. then for a night of sitting down and watching never mind the buzzcocks with a shed load full of joints oh and a crappy pipe i made which was actually pretty Crap..

DAY 3..

wake up in pain legs got worse but i should of stayed off it yesterday got to go 2 mins round the corner for milk and munchies come back sweating yes its another bloody hot day but i nearly didnt make a 2 min return trip. the only good news i have is i brought a fair bit which should last me. had an ice morning jupiter og - so gouda ice - haze 2.0 and went straight back to sleep. woke at about 3pm, im not too far from 420/de kuil by 4pm at damrak a 5 min walk took over 30 mins theres just no chance of it happening and went to Mc D's for milkshake and a slow and horrible hobble back to the hotel. ive purposely came to dam just for the meet ups and ive nearly done worse meet a few hardly talked to any and missed out on meeting loads of fellow stoners.. i will hang my head in shame from now on till i die.

DAY 4..

well this morning is all about getting back to Schiphol, CAN i even make it to Schiphol its a 50/50 at best. went down for my last free breakfast, everything is packed got some joints to roll. hurdle 1 is thestairs not the first set up not even then the second half set it was the third stupid, idiotic if my feet were the size of a babys feet i still would have great difficulty getting up them its more a squeeze though the Ultra super duper mini set of stairs to rooms 7-10 (this picture doesnt do them justice).
Image

somehow made it to central station go to get on train thats been there 2 mins sling suitcase on train long step to get on train then at the same time a lady 50 -70 years old runs down the stairs i know my leg is going to buckle and knock over on the stairs (as things happen it could of been worse for her) and all my apologies arent working so go and sit. get to Schiphol im nearly done now check in bag buy speedy boarding 13.25 euros but not a chance in hell was i going to be able to que for 30 mins. then head off back outside for final smoke

the weather today is..
Image
been here awhile now
Image
so its packed cant really have a joint police do rounds walking around from the wheel of energy (left) i spot this area
Image
unpopulated with a cool breeze and outish of the way
zoomed in a little
Image
the nice little bit of green grass next to the top stairs (in glass)buried in the corner is what looks to be a burial for a pet bird (small stones)Does Not Look Natural is a pressy of 2 pure joints with trans himalayan and Tidighin in as well wrapped up in a sealed baggy..

Yeah soz forgot to say bout yer back n leg !! I would be demanding to see a specialist or the Hospital unfortunately for us the NHS is well overworked and don't necessarily diagnose correctly on the first couple of attempts ! Here take these pills !!

Not that I'm trying to worry ye mate :lol: :D was a pity i never finally got to meet you , never mind I'm sure there will be other times :wink:

didnt post any back dan i needed it all..
had a lovely lump of trans himilayan (haze 2.0 is a must) i would get the so gouda ice again(3 gram minimum its cheap) and grate the fucker in a little bag and use it to sprinkle over joints, its hard and could take it easy. jupiter og was alot better if you packed it (wish i stayed at 1e hulp for a smoke very friendly dealer, but was in a rush).
different camera different rules, room was dark only a little space to take pics from i never met up with nizzle who was going to show give me a lesson in macro :( but next time there be even better did take a load of shit pics as well over half are unusable

small room Yes, have i been in smaller Hell Yeah. it was an advantage it was small this trip..
well the pain killers helped a little after that second day i was a ruined stoner and that little last set of stairs where just nasty (big thanks to the mrs). when dave was looking at me i was thinking i hope hes not gay then said your straight (phew). doctors told not to walk around 6-9 miles as ive aggravated it (REALLY!!)
was a shame we didnt meet early on i missed out on meeting lots of acders
