Amsterdam Is The Shit! (Now w/ pix!)

Just got back a few hours ago and good lord, I think I've find my true passion in life. The best smoke, great food, warm people and beautiful women everywhere.................

And did I mention great smoke?

I'm not gonna write up a report, more like my likes/dislikes, as the only thing I can remember is the first shop we bust our Amsterdam cherry was (NYCD @ 420) & the last shop we said our sad goodbyes (Hill Street Blues). Everything else in between that is all a blur.

My favorite shop by far was Grey Area. Incredible weed, cool budtenders and the shop was great to hang in, got a seat the 3 days I stopped in, which surprised me after reading the reviews. Even had a front row seat to see an authentic Amsterdam greenout happen right by the vape stand after some poor dude just dropped. Also really liked Hill Street Blues digs, didn't try any of their smoke, though they make killer hot chocolates w/ cream. Think we hit HSB up like 5 times. Greenhouse Lounge was good and loved their bud, the Hawaiian Snow was ridiculous. That mango milkshake from Amnesia was pretty good and went well with my bong rips. The only thing I didn't like was the bike riding. I thought I was gonna die tooling around the city on one of them freakin' rentals. I almost got hit by a tram/car/biker/person like 10 times in my few hours on the road. :lol:

All in all I gotta say I'm proud of myself, as I handled a heavy intake of some of the best bud I've ever smoked, and coughed only a few times and enjoyed my high immensely. Hit up damn near every shop I wanted to see, some multiple times. Smoked my first piece of hash, ate my first space brownie. Went to the windows 3 times of the course of my 4 days stay. :shock:

It's safe to say, I had a nice time. Thanks Amsterdam, I will definitely be back sooner rather than later.

Nah, I'm a newbie and never met anyone on the boards, though I'm sure I did see you guys over in 420 on 4/20. Recognized SoulRider from his avy and saw a bunch of you guys sitting in the back.

I was at the table across from the bar with my boy hitting that vape and there was some cool tabby cat sleeping on our table the entire time. :lol:

I figured everyone in the shop at that time was probably from the boards.

I was gonna drop in and say what's up but my friend was being a bit of a fruitcake and you guys looked deep in convo so I hung back.

Plus, the cat made good company, though he wasn't quite the conversationalist. :lol:

Kudos on the smoke list my friend. You had a nice selection from some of the best cs's.

I'm looking forward to banking some of the Tasman Haze myself when I'm there next week.

I thought it was a good smoke, though I did enjoy the Cannalope Haze a little more, as well as the price.

And Boner, if you were with your wife I believe I saw you guys get up from the back to leave around 5, oooops, around 17:00 or so.

Only couple I remember seeing in there.

IM sorry we didnt meet fenix. Of course during the 420 I did a drive buy where I went in the 420 at 418 and was out of there by 426. Said quick highs to all I reconized, had like a zillion spliffs passed to me and walked out. It was enough to do DH in. Oh and by the way, the guy at the bar next door lets you smoke so if you ever in town and want another place to get a beer and smoke, that place is cool. Great music too. That day he was playing pink floyd and all kinds of good stuff. Nice guy.

Great smoke list you have. I got some of the cheese at the Home grown fantasy that was decent. I love the bathroom there though. lol
