Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

I wrote an article for the Cannabist (Denver Post) and it got published. What do you think? I would be happy to have you comment on it there. It was in response to a guy who wrote how bad cannabis tourist's in Amsterdam are. I let him have it.

Looks like you have quite the fan in the comments on this article. Jesus that guy is insane.

Excellent article. Well written. Uses the facts well. Did I misunderstand or did you say the HTCC had moved to Denver?

we got also mentioned in this post :

Airline tickets and a place to stay are not cheap in anyone’s book. Some plan their Amsterdam trips for years and write detailed online diaries for all to read. Check out the Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory forum for trip reports and questions from those pot tourists about to make the trip for the first time or for the tenth time. Most focus on being good guests.

The ACD is a good place to learn about Amsterdam cannabis culture from a tourist’s standpoint. It is the drinkers who cause problems in Amsterdam, not the smokers. It wasn’t that long ago the drinking age was 16 — though now it’s 18.

Good for you b....good to be published ....I'm about to go see Nate in the comments section...I gotta sign up ...take care and see you again one day..I still have a 1990 Colorado bongathon for you when we meet...peas and carrots

They are holding them all over the USA now, it seems almost monthly, lol. But, I mentioned HTCC being over Thanksgiving weekend in Amsterdam to counter the statement that most "pot tourists" come there in the summer.

Thanks USBL. The BAT is starting in a few days and they have been having pre-qualification contests all over town the last few weeks. This year it is open to the public and will be epic. Jackie arrives a couple days before it starts but will be to jet lagged to attend I am afraid, But you never know. Hope to make it out there.

Lol..when I went it was outside BOULDER in the middle of nowhere...no one won I think..nice to have organization to that event...is there a 40 and over class?..I wouldn't want to embarrass the youth by winning they have fragile stoner egos I find lately ...have fun
