I prefer the effects from sativas (as touristsy as that may sound )
Knowing which is which (indica vs. sativa) allows one to enjoy the intoxication that they prefer. Over here in the States there are times (unless you grow your own) where you must take what you can get. Amsterdam allows a welcome atmosphere of choice and a civilized method for aquiring your preference. The prices that are charged in Amsterdam are a bargain compared to what would be charged over here. My next trip will take me to Amsterdam as well as Haarlem I will be hitting as many coffeeshops as time allows and I will never regret paying (what some may consider) a premium for the choice, the quality, or the luxury of smoking freely.
