Hello everyone.
I will be visiting amsterdam for the very first time with my girlfriend and a cousin. I am so excited and have been using the site to plot out what i will be doing for the few days that i will be there. I have been smoking grass for more than half of my life but im sure that the grass from the Phillipines is nothing compared to in Amsterdam. I also cant wait to indulge in all the other activities while i am there and i am open to suggestions from the wise members of this forum. Thank you for your time.

the best use of the knowledge of the members of the forum is imo to ask specific questions

then people can respond with their view on that specific question and then ... bang ... soon you have a result

and then you can ask another question and then another and then ... bang ... soon you are in amsterdam for the very first time

I plan to visit as many shops as i can. Luckily im bringing my dlsr so i will be posting a ton of pics and my own personal reviews of each place and strain i will get to try. In my country cannabis is generic. There are no names or brands. just quantities. roughly 50 grams for about 10 $ we call it a fiver over here since ten dollars is about 500 pesos. its mostly all sativa strains. Usually when you "score" you get the whole stock from the top to bottom minus the roots.Quality is a WIDE range as most of the farmers her live up in the mountainous regions so they plant a square hectare and come back after a few months to crop the whole thing. Almost everything you buy will have seeds, its just a question of how many. Usually though its less than 50 seeds per stock. Ive had some that really wreak of mango and fruity flavors. Hash is also readily available at roughly a dollar a gram when its harvest season. I'll try to upload a pic of the feilds of sagada when i get back home to the P.I. a Ive tried lots of medicinal strains form san fransico CA. The best ones that i recall are Trainwreck, and Afgani Kush which for me was the best one to date. Although im sure the strains in Amsterdam will blow my mind. I cant wait to write my comparisons. I hope it serves usefull to all. and if anyone is ever in asia, think about dropping by the Philippines. everything is dirt cheap and the locals love foreigners.

Wow wa wee wah!

One dollar per gram! Is it mostly the hand rubbed dark hash, or is it the dry sieved lighter stuff?

Frantically checking flight prices! Thank you for the lowdown on things in your country.

Well to be brutally honest the hash is varied by quality and the most common is the dry hard ligher type but you can also find charras which is the soft type collected by farmers that run through the feilds in leather jackets and scrape off the resin that sticks to it. finding anything within city imit is difficult and usually a rip-off so if your going to the P.i. then as soon as your in manila get a bus ticket to ''sagada'' or ''mountain province'' which is popular for the rice terraces 5 and to the local herbs :-) ) and just look for any tour guide since almost ALL tourguides sell as a side business. if your really lucky you'll find one that will take you to growing feilds themselves ( which may be hours long of trekking through mountains but worth it since you get to see GRASS as farr as your eyes can see. if your lucky to find one that agree's to take you ) i hope the info was usefull

PeaCe :-)
