I suppose Gunpowder would be ideal to mix in with food or drink because of it's form.

Had a cosmic yoghurt years ago, however, and passed out (fell right off a stool onto the floor). I was in a friends house and I wasn't out for long but it is not the kind of thing I would want to happen in Amsterdam.

I would rather use food or drink on it's own in order to control my well being while smoking, rather than mix it with whatever I was carrying.

The Baileys mix must have been a wild ride. :twisted:

Not really, I added the Bailey's for the flavour rather than the effects of the alcohol so it was no more than an ounce (25ml). I would suggest that if someone wanted to derive the "full benefit" of the alcohol they could mix it with only Bailey's or a similar cream liqueur and it would be delicious I'm sure.

I recommend that if someone wishes to try this gourmet hot chocolate treat, mix the Gunpowder with the dry ingredients first and it will completely dissolve without a trace (other than the velvety texture of the chocolate).The suggestion of adding it to other foods is great since in many ways it is an exotic spice. I know of a few chefs who would use it quite creatively however they would probably never divulge the secret ingredient. :D

Right. Now I see. You added the Baileys to the hot chocolate with the Gunpowder.

Yep that would be a real winter warmer if you like that sort of thing.

I'll be sticking with the smoking and steering well clear of space cakes, shakes, hot chocolate etc.

One bad experience is one too many for me.

Gunpowder is available only at Coffeeshop Stix.

http://www.stix.nl

I'm told that Grey Mist Crystals from Grey Area is pretty much the same sort of idea as Gunpowder, but slightly more expensive (Grey Area website no longer online, but it's on the ACD Map and Guide)

Gunpowder 12E per gram/56E for 5g
GMC 15E per gram/Don't know about 5g

I'm off in four weeks (four weeks today infact)

:D Happy Holidays :D

I never tried to smoke it by itself, actually I saw it as that little extra which complimented whatever it was added to. Although I smoked it mostly with weeds that had an upper effect, I found that it was more of a head high than something which put me to sleep.

My preference for Gunpowder isn't to smoke it however. It makes a heavenly hot chocolate (although some might consider it a bit expensive for that purpose) which I found one of the most pleasant highs I have ever had. Absolutely killer with a shot of Bailey's, particularly on a cold wet Amsterdam day.
:lol:

That recipe has me just about drooling - delicious. I think it is important to try new experiences in a safe and comfortable environment and then once you are comfortable with that experience you might be interested in trying new locations.

That's a long-winded way of saying that I would try this perhaps if I was hunkered down for the evening and I slowly sipped this almost as an aperitif. I would make sure it was okay to stay up the rest of the night if I felt inspired or drift off dreamily on a soft bed of cushions.

I think we sometimes forget we are dealing with a plant product and in a similar fashion to other products (prescription drugs, soap,whatever) we can all have different reactions. I am only 160cm - 5foot 3inches tall and 51kg or 110lb - so bigger and taller people can smoke me under the table. In a way, I am lucky, a little goes a long ways.

something about differing milage...

I'm a fair bit bigger that you Miette, 198cm = 6'5" and 20 stone or 280lbs Whilst I can usually drink stupid amounts of alcohol and still remain quite coherent, I can only take as much weed as the next man/woman. :?

I'm hoping to try the gunpowder or Grey mist crystals this trip to the 'Dam. If I take too much I have no doubt it will put me on my arse. God help the poor sod who tries to get me up again :lol:

I would certainly be interested to know how you get on as my methods of rolling and smoking are exactly the same.

Have a great time (26 days and counting till Doog Does Dam)

Hi Steed'.. please do let us know how you get on with the GP.

I'm in A'dam on March 15 for 2 nights and although I'm a weed smoker usually I dont think I'll be able to pass up an oppertunity to load up and fire away with the Gunpowder.

Stixx gunpowder

Post by SteedOfWeed »

Hello,
The gunpowder is on at stixx and it is rollable in a machine. It was 12 euro's a gram (dunno for higher amounts) but it was as good as ever.

Hope this was helpful. Enjoy the trip.

:P next trip in june (cannot wait)

That is great news and the only thing now that will stop me from getting any will be if the shop doesn't have any while I'm there.

If Stix does happen to be out of stock then I would probably go for Grey Mist Crystals from Grey Area (same sort of thing so I'm told)

I would definitely make sure that Gunpowder was going to be off the menu for the full week of my stay before going for the GMC.

Yeah there's no problem in rolling it with tobacco. I tried in a pipe as well but didn't find the taste appealing.

This sounds damn good Doc'... how much of the gunpowder would you add to the Hot Choccy (with Baileys)...?

Are we talking the whole gram, half or what ?
