150 if that's just for smoke it's about right, depends how much you smoke. i spend 70-100 a week. i always buy specials when i go to a'dam so always spend more.

i went last year with a friend, he spent 1000 pound in 3 nights, including everything travel costs, flight, hotel, smoke, food, drink, going out, smoking parahernalia etc. he did go a bit crazy.

drinks can be expensive, around 2 euro for a small soft drink in a coffeeshop/cafe, beer about 3.50-4euro a pint.

if you wanna save money on food and if your lucky the hostel will have a kitchen you can use(the flying pig did), go to a supermarket and buy a couple of pizzas(there own make will cost less then 5 euro for 2) and a bottle of soda or a few cans of beer. if they have a microwave you should be able to eat cheap every day. :thumbsup:

i've only found one resturant that's what i'd call cheap:

hap-hum 1e helmersstraat 33

i had a pretty big bowl of tomato/veg soup followed by a plate of potatos and broccoli with another smaller plate with braised beef, there was no room on the plate for the beef, i washed it down with a bottle of heineken, it came to just under 9 euros, i gave her a tenner, 'at that price keep the change dear'

My first choice was the flying pig, so I guess that is where I should book my stay. But for one night I'm going to rent a nice hotel room so that I can enjoy some cactus, some music, and some herbs. On that note, how much does peyote usually cost at the smart shop? could you recommend a good smart shop?

**disclaimer for moderators-- i don't intend to eat this peyote cactus, i only plan on looking at it**.

I stayed there it was ok there was another place just up street called the BA hostel (whatever that means) I liked it alot more, more stoners en suite bathrooms good breakfast. But this was 5 years ago, may be gone now. I also spent one nite in some place called the shelter that was like a christian hostel with no drugs allowed and a curfew, dont stay there no matter how cheap it is.

Back in the summer of '76, as a student in Germany, my train stopped in A dam and I had a 6 hour wait for the next one, so I sought out and found a couple of clubs that were mentioned in Playboy magazine. The Milky Way(Milchweg) and the Paradiso. I believe that they are still around! I am going to go fall/winter 2007 for the cup. Saw lotsa of purrty girls siting in the windows along the canal....
