hey people,
i'm going to amsterdam on the 2nd of november just because i'm getting dope cravings and it's killing me for the past three months.
i'm staying, most probably, at the flying pig.
can anyone give me some homely advice as to what amsterdam really is? i've never been there and i'm going by myself. yes, i am pretty nervous.. oh well..
please give me some tips and advice and whatever you may think is appropriate for me to know..
grateful to you.
I seriously do NOT want to hype it up because when you hype things up, sometimes your left expecting too much? But it really is all that. Just think to yourself it's gonna be crap and i'm not expecting much, so when you go there you'll think wow!
aaaaah man, the smell, the aroma, the people......
SOME people say there is more to Amsterdam than the RLD and the Weed but for a tourist, WHY would you POSSIBLY want anything else?? ;)
lol on a serious note....it's beautiful. You have to check it out for yourself. Amazing experience, one I will never forget. It's the highest place on earth. Fact.
I was so excited before I went, so was on nearly every Amsterdam site. Once you go to a place like that, it really DOES open your eyes. The dutch people really know how to live and props to the politicians. The whole world needs to take a look at them for inspiration, I'm being serious. People toking spliffs wherever you go, it's like a social thing. A very mature looking older woman, looked about 35...handing over some money and buying a big bag of weed. She looked very professional and had typical housewife/mother sort of look. I just thought wow. Talk about stereotyping.
You'll have the odd crack dealers coming and approaching you, but that's about it. Even that, it's at night and if you go around the RLD. It's no more frightening that if you went ANYWHERE in the world at night. No place is 'SAFE' if you think about it??
If you are with someone, or in a group, then you should be OK. Can be scary if you went alone but in general, it's very very safe. Just ask any Amsterdam resident. The people are very warm and welcoming.
You have to go there to truly understand it. I couldn't possibly explain in words....I could go on and on....you will love it my friend!
That was a beautiful post. I love Amsterdam so much I seriously am moving there, probably next year sometime. If you want to appreciate the true meaning of liberty and freedom, then by all means, go to Amsterdam and do such. For you see, there is justice in this society. People are treated as rational beings, as they should be, to be able to decide and have choice. Without fear of oppression and tyranny. I reccomend going to a coffee shop called 'De Kroon' It's near dam square. Check out Ummagumma defiantely and buy some 'Mothers Finest' :) It's a safe place, just ignore everyone who tries to sell you coke on the street, everyone. There will be a lot of these people, just ignore them and you'll be fine. I remember smoking a fat spliff on a bench by a river and an old lady was behind me with a camera, everything was kool, i never saw the police when blazing in alleys or anywhere. Might as well use the coffee shops while you can tho. The menus are expansive. Have fun.Quote:

I'll be there too.

Will you still be in A'dam?
ReeferRogue, My decision to join this site, pondering whether I should join this site? Thinking someone may want to search me up as weed is looked down upon big time around here, my family thinks it's the devil's harvest and everything..., so that decision to join this site has been FULLY justified with your single sentence.
That definetly is the best compliment I've received on here. You should change your name to Cannabis King, judging by your posts, your knowledge on weed and having the utmost general respect among fellow tokers.
I sure wouldn't mind toking a spliff with you one day, don't know if you would mind though? Haha, on second thoughts, no please dont.....i'd feel way depressed as your knowledge is way too next level! lol I'd feel bad thinking "I'm a dumb cunt!" if you got going...
And what you said about Amsterdam, too true. It's amazing. Just that feeling of toking and your not actually afraid of anyone hassling you or the cops coming for you. No more of that shit.
Moving there for Real? I want to start a jealousy petition. For real. I am so envious, and I'm sure every toker would be lol. If you don't make it, then definetly one day heh? But I guess you do deserve it though, you have to. I've learnt. Everything you get, you deseve. Good or bad. And Moving to Amsterdam is definetly a good, so you must have done something good.
(PayPal the money to hero@.....) whenever you get the chance hehe
I'm very glad you did decide to join this site because people like you are more then welcome. I owe a lot of my knowledge to this site and the people who cared and shared. Experiance has had a huge impact also. I would love to blaze some ganja with you and talk about life. It is a shame that in such a modern society, 'great' Britian can not provide me with a true sense of freedom. I am no King, i am just a man, a man whos passion lies with cannabis and the equality and liberty for all. Ever since i first graced the promise land of Amsterdam, i have seeked to return. Have you ever just felt you belong somewhere? That's how i feel. It is my goal to move there and start my life by following my own personal persuit of happiness. I believe the world will accept cannabis one day. However, until that day, i feel i must live in a place free of the chains of oppression. That place, my friends, is the Netherlands and is Amsterdam. A peaceful place, where tranquility softly seduces you in to a state of delight.Quote:
