Amsterdam: Day 1
It was an early morning flight for me with the flight departing from Edinburgh at 6am, after saying my goodbyes to the mrs in the car park I walk into the airport and up the escalator, have a quick look at the screens... gates closing OH SHIT!! After a sprint through x-ray my arse is firmly planked on my seat next to the window behind the wing. Laptop out and im waiting to hear the seat-belt bing, it sounds and on goes Pineapple Express.
Flight arrived 15 minutes early. WOO!
Straight to the ticket-booth and 25 mins later im arriving at centraal station. Call the apartment guy to say ive arrived.


Shades on and im walking to the beat of Kasabian out of Centraal. Fucking hell its warm! Over to tourist information to get my 3 day bus/tram pass for 15 Euros.
First coffeeshop of the holiday Picasso Im greeted by a really cool budtender, he puts his hands together and gives a little bow. He hears my accent and starts to talk about how much he loves the Scottish people. I ask to see the white widow and bubblegum.
First purchase – 1g Bubblegum - 9 Euro
Got a nice big single bud looked and smelt great.

Didn’t stop to smoke had to get to my apartment. So I head towards Westerpark get lost a few times but finally make it. Get in to the apartment and its amazing the front room is his art studio with his and colleagues work all over the place.


My apartment is behind the door at the end of the room, it’s a nice basic apartment with 2 rooms, kitchen, walk in shower/toilet and a little garden.


Once im alone in the apartment I can finally smoke my first joint of the trip. Blew my head off a bit, got a little paranoid as it hit me “Im in Amsterdam by myself” But that was short lived and before long I was walking out the door and heading down towards the centre..
Next stop Popeye
1 gram of Pink Kush, a mango looza and 30 mins internet time. About 17 Euros in all??

Webcam on and I have a chat with the mrs so she knows im alright roll and smoke a few joints. Pink Kush was an amazing smoke got me really stoned, so stoned in fact that I forgot how loud I was talking. Guy behind the counter throws a pair of headphone/mic and it hit me on the head. I wasn’t too pleased but kept quiet. Don’t think ill be going back here again sadly.
Grabbed a cheap grinder for 5 Euros from Hempshopper asked about renting a Volcano for the night – 25 Euros I thought ill go for that but then came “Oh and 400 Euros deposit” No thanks.
Next stop 420 grab and go for 2 grams of Blueberry. This was my favourite smoke back in January.
2 Grams Blueberry – 16 Euros
Really big sticky and stinky buds with a great high and taste. In my top 3 smokes this trip.
Decided to visit the house I stayed in, in January just off Nieuwmarkt then went to the Old Indian Headshop for a decent grinder.25 Euros, but a nice metal crystal catcher.

Head to Albert Heijn for some food and then back to the apartment for dinner.
Had a little sleep then went to the Red Light District for a gander. Popped in to Green Place but didn’t buy anything so had a looza and chilled in the smokers room for an hour or so.

On the way back to the apartment I went in to Dampkring 2 for a gram of amnesia haze


1 gram Amnesia Haze – 12 Euros?
Knockout smoke don’t really remember much else about it.
Just outside my apartment there was a little park so I lay there smoking copious amounts of weed and watched the sun go down.
End of Day 1
Day 2 hopefully on Wednesday
