Tuesday 12th March

Post by BigEars »

Myself and a friend visited Amsterdam on Tuesday so I thought I'd write a little report and post it on here. I've been reading the site for a while and have found it useful in planning my recent trips so thought it was about time I registered and posted something. No photos this time sorry. Anyway here goes....

It's Tuesday morning and myself and a friend have a day trip to Amsterdam planned. We're flying at about 7.30am so I'm up about 5 and smoke a spliff of blue cheese to prepare myself for the long day ahead. It does the job and before I know it I'm at the airport and checked in. No problems with the flight and we're up in the air and on our way. Less than an hour later and the plane is touching down at Schiphol. It's always a great feeling to be back in Amsterdam even after many trips. The fun is about to begin. We quickly buy train tickets and are walking out of Central Station in no time. We know exactly where we're heading to first. We cross the road, go round the corner and there it is... Voyagers.

We quickly enter the coffeeshop and go straight to the counter. Time to get smashed. I'd been here years ago and never been back until recently. It was after reading reviews and reports on here that made me return and I'm glad I did. It's now my first stop when I arrive in Amsterdam. An English guy and his girlfriend are working and ask if we're here for Testing Tuesday. He then showed me some nice buds and explained that it was a mystery weed to test. It looked and smelled really nice so my mate got a gram of that and I got a gram of OG Kush. We sat down at the table next to the counter and quickly skinned up. Here we go....

We both rolled a joint of the testing tuesday weed. It was really good. It tasted as good as it looked. I have no idea what it was though to be honest. Anybody know? Grapefruit? Whatever it was it did the job and I was grinning from ear to ear and almost giggling like a first time smoker. Good stuff. The first smoke was gone in no time so it was time for number two. I rolled a nice spliff of OG Kush and lit it up. Very nice. By the time I finished this one I was nicely wrecked. Both the testing tuesday weed and the OG Kush were top quality. My mate was looking pretty chilled too. The trip to Voyagers has been a success and a great start to the day 10/10. But we're only here for the day so it's time to move on.......

We leave Voyagers and decide to look for a coffeeshop we both wanted to visit. The stupid thing was neither of us could remember the name or where it was. We walked around for about 20 minutes before we decided we were too stoned to be looking for a place that we didn't even know the name of and decided to head for the Grey Area. Luckily for us we knew where this was and we weren't too far away. It was freezing cold and I was glad to see The Grey Area was open as it had been closed the last couple times I'd visited. Even better there was no queue at all. Perfect....

I'd not been in here for a couple years but recognised the budtender straight away. He greeted us with a smile and asked what we'd like to buy. I was like a kid in a sweet shop and wanted it all. The Casey Jones caught my eye though and I purchased 2g of that. My friend still had a joint of the testing tuesday weed left so decided not to buy anything here and we decided to walk round the corner to Amnesia for a coffee and smoke as The Grey Area was pretty full. So we thank the budtender and head off to sample the weed...


I'll write a bit more in a while if that wasn't too boring? Go easy on me it's my first attempt :lol:

Got half a smoke to go and finish first though.

Part 2 of my 1 day trip to Amsterdam -

We exit the Grey Area turning right out of the door and then right again. Amnesia is only a short walk and we're glad to get in out the cold again. It really is a cold one today. Amnesia is looking pretty busy but we manage to grab a seat near the door next to a couple German guys who are looking more stoned than me and my mate. I want to look like that I think to myself and quickly get the Casey Jones out I'd just purchased at the Grey Area. A spliff is rolled in record time and couple drinks are ordered. Time to get Amsterdamaged....

It didn't take long for the Casey Jones to hit me. It was good stuff and I was glad I'd chosen it. It really hit the spot and I could feel myself beginning to look more and more like the stoned German guys next to us. My mate finished the testing tuesday weed from Voyagers and joined me in being totally smashed. Our spliffs were soon gone so there was only one thing to do...skin up again. I rolled the rest of the Casey Jones and my mate bought some Temple Ball as he'd had it from Amnesia before and it had always been good. It was good again and by the time we finished both smokes our drinks were gone and we were discussing where our next stop was going to be. Feeling completely smashed we decide to stagger to Utopia. What a top day I'm having so far...

We know our way to Utopia so it doesn't take long to get there. It's pretty quiet with just a couple people having a smoke in there and we head straight to the counter where a pretty young girl is serving. She seems like a happy'n and gladly shows us several different types of weed as I try and make my mind up what I want. The Strawberry Cough looks and smells delicious so I order 2g of that and a couple drinks to warm us up. The seat by the window is empty so we decide to sit there and watch the world go by while we get stoned...

I roll a really fat joint of the Strawberry Cough and my mate carries on smoking the Temple Ball from Amnesia. This is lovely stuff and I've smoked half of it in a matter of minutes. Today is going great...but hold on. My hands are getting sweaty and I've got a tingling feeling in my feet. WTF is going on? This can't be happening. I'm getting visions of having to go and lie down on the floor outside the shop. My mate is going to piss himself. Am I really about to throw my first ever Amsterdam whitey? Luck is on my side this time and it's a false alarm. The sweats go before they've really started and I finish the Strawberry Cough. Really good stuff and a good coffeeshop. Time to go though as we only have a few hours left....

We refuel in Mcdonalds on Damrak and decide where to spend our last couple hours before we have to go home.

I have one more part to go. I'll write it later once I've had my breakfast spliff.

Part 3 of my 1 day trip to Amsterdam -

Big mac meals are eaten and a beggar is told to go away while we decide what to do with our final couple hours. We both agree the testing tuesday weed from Voyagers was good and decide to head back there to see if there's any left. We head across Damrak and past the tourist trap called the Grasshopper before turning left up Warmoesstraat. A quick spliff stop is taken at Coffeeshop 36...

I quite like this place and have chilled in here a few times over the years. A coffee and a tea is ordered at the first bar before we head to the back of the shop where the weed is sold. Even though I like this place to chill I've never been too sure about the weed so take the safe-ish option and buy a gram of Bubblegum polm and sit in the seats looking out the back window. Top view. The Bubblegum is alright and is soon gone(apart from a little bit which somehow found it's way home with me. I didn't know it was there officer). I had a quick chat with the budtender and was sad to hear this place will be closing down soon. June or July he thinks. Another coffeeshop bites the dust. The clock is ticking now and we only have 90 minutes left so decide to head on to Voyagers....

It's only a couple minutes round the corner to Voyagers but the cold gets us again and my nose and eyes are like taps by the time we walk through the door. It's a lot busier now and the big dog(Debo?) and Highly Blessed are in the place. No testing tuesday weed is left so I decide to get some more OG Kush as I'd really enjoyed that earlier. We take a seat near the toilets and get all our bits of leftover weed out. It's now or never to get it all smoked...

My mate gets stuck into his last bit of Temple Ball while I roll a fat spliff of the OG Kush I've just purchased. The heater under my seat quickly warmed me up and I was soon feeling rather nice again. The OG Kush is a real good smoke and I savage my spliff and decide to roll the rest of it up straight away. I manage to get 2 nice smokes out of it and decide to smoke one now and save the other for outside the airport. Again it's gone in no time and all we have left is a bit of Temple Ball and crumbs of Casey Jones and Strawberry Cough. It's quickly rolled into one spliff and lit. It's a bit of a killer and makes me cough for the first time of the day. It does the job though and I am definitely Amsterdamaged. It's time to go home...

It's always gutting when it's time to leave but that time has come again. So we head out the door and decide to go down the Metro steps so we don't have to cross the road. Before I know it I'm on a train looking out the window and thinking about what a great day I've just had. We're both totally smashed and say very little during the journey to Schiphol. A whopper meal is eaten before we check in, I know terrible after I'd already been to McDonalds, and then we decide to go and smoke the final spliff outside the airport. This totally destroys the pair of us and I imagine we looked a right mess and probably stunk of weed. Time to get on the plane....

No problems again and we're off on time. I am like a nodding dog by now and could do with going to sleep but before I fall into a real sleep it's time to land. It's great only living an hour away. We're off the plane and through passport control in about 10 minutes and are ready for home. That is until I get collared by a customs guy for a little chat. 'Where have you been'? Amsterdam I say. 'You look like you've not been to bed for days'. Thanks I reply. 'Have you been smoking pot in Amsterdam'?. All day long I say with a big smile on my face. 'Have a nice night' he says and lets me go without searching me. Result and a good ending to a great day...

I'm home within 30 minutes smoking the Bubblegum which I'd accidently brought home. I love Amsterdam.

The End.

Top class reporting. Had the feeling that you and your friend really squeezed every last smoke out of that trip.
Especially liked the exchange at the end. A savvy customs officer is not looking to waste time looking for a few grams of weed unless it is by accident while looking for something else.
That bit of total honesty sets everyones mind at ease. The truth is told and as the saying goes. It will set you free.
How much did you produce?
