Just got back from Smokers Mecca (Amsterdam!)

Ive been to Amsterdam many times now and have visited many other towns in Holland also (Hengelo, Nijmegen, Utrecht, Rotterdam, Leeuwarden, Arnhem and Gouda), I thought I would share a little bit of my experience with you all.
We left from Luton Airport at 09.10 on Thursday, this was a birthday surprise for my girlfriend who knew nothing about it until thr night before. We awoke 2 and a half hours late and in a real mad panic managed to get a cab to the airport and just made the flight.
When we got to our accomodation in Amsterdam (Camping Zeeburg, chalet/room for 2 = 20 Euros per night) we immedietly offloaded and headed for the town. We got a 14 tram to Waterlooplein and headed to the Greenhouse where I purchased some White Rhino, and proceeded to get nicely high while my Girlfriend smoked some Super Apollo blond hash. The Rhino is heavy but very very nice, maybe I shouldnt have smoked it so early as we ended up wandering around the Market trying on various hats and eating Chips with hot peanut butter sauce in between bouts of laughing our tits off and being confused.
We trotted of up the Rembrandsplein towards the Dam, admiring the architecture and trying not to get killed by trams (Im sure the tracks are moved daily to give maximum "Fuck up" to tourists). Amsterdams archtecture is beautiful, it puts you in the past and the pace of Amsterdam seems to be influenced by the history all around, its almost like rushing around would look silly amongst these buildings from another era.
We went into Abraxas behind Dam Square, we finished off the Rhino and bought some Ketama Hash and I bought some AK47, may as well carry on in the same vain as the Rhino hehe. The AK47 was sticky icky and true to the name blue my head clean off. Abraxas is very modern with lovely decor and lots of room, its usually full but if you are lucky you can get a nice comfy seat to sit at for many hours.
We also visited Barneys which is my personal favourite, I bought some Stella Blue, this is the weed of weeds for me, the flavour, smell and high are so intoxicating that it carries you away, wonderful stuff, everybody should try, God bless "Humboldt".
We visited the Rockerij in Leidseplein, nice and dark and very Morrocan/Arabic Bazaar in style, it suits smoking. All in all we had a nice 3 days, Amsterdam never fails to deliver, you know what you are getting................FUCKED UP!!!

Peace and Out

Mcplop

fukkin right on! sounds like u had a blast dude!..cant wait till i go later on in the year..neways, more to the point...how much is weed in amsterdam?? :D

sounds fun, how expensive is the weed over there?

For those of you on a more limited budget, BC can provide much of the same experience.....

The Bid ranges from 5.50 euros per gram (Super Skunk, Abraxas) to 28 Euros a gram (Helter Skelter Hash, Barneys) so pretty varied, average for 1 gram of kick ass weed is 10 euros so pretty fucking cheap!!

That should say BUD not Bid, but you knew that......

May I ask what a Euro is?

It's a currency the majority of people in europe use, except for england and maybe other places.

How much is 10 euros in american dollars aprox?

10 euros is pretty much like $11-11.50

10 euros = $13.00 USD

can you just walk around and buy weed? and then smoke it???? am i missing something here?????????

By chance I just got back from there myself....

No - you can only smoke n the coffee shops and the privacy of your own home. There is also a strict age limit to get into the coffeeshops (not Cafe or Bar, but coffeeshop ) and they will stop you if they thnk you are underage.
We were sat in.....uhh well the name escapes me, but its near the Soupkitchen, nd some somewhat shifty fellas got asked to produce some id or get out.

Anyway, nice place. And the guys that sells pizzaa, waffles, pastries etc; they know your stoned, so just go with it.
