I've used this site for reference on my last two trips to Amsterdam, but haven't actually contributed much. Anyway, I am getting started now and was wondering if I could get a few questions answered.
Like I said in the topic, I am planning a trip to Amsterdam at the end of this month and intend to enjoy all the great things this unique city has to offer
I will be staying with some friends in a hostel on Warmoesstraat -
What should be my 'local' coffeeshop (close walking distance) to visit? Preferably one that has a nice, relaxed atmosphere, some comfortable seating, good music etc.? (I really liked Barney's uptown in this respect last time I was in Amsterdam).
I would also like some advice on what strains to buy and where to get them. I don't like having a heady, buzz most of the time when I smoke, so I am looking for something that will have mellowing, possibly a bit psychedelic effect.
I've tried NYC diesel and it's effects were exactly what I don't want (head buzz, disorientation) - so I assume I shouldn't go for pure sativas.
I also wouldn't mind a strain with high CBD levels, and not crazy high THC levels, for the same reasons as above and also because of the numerous medical benefits of CBD.
Also, if I want to buy mushrooms (not truffles) from a smart shop, how should I approach the person behind the counter? Could anyone PM me a hint of where to ask?
Lastly, what things other than visiting coffeeshops can you recommend to do during my visit?
I have been to the Van Gogh museum, Anne Frank's House, the Heineken brewery and the Amsterdam Museum. I thought the latter was particulary interesting.
