Best Coffeeshop in Amsterdam

i LOVE A'dam, the best city in the world for getting :stoned:

have you been to Amsterdam?
i know there's many shops to choose from but if you could pick just one what would be your favourite coffeeshop? and why.


mine is 'dutch flowers' it's a lovely little shop, with by far the best weed/hash i've ever smoked. the choice is extensive, think menu at a chinese resturant, you can get lost in the choice available, weed/hash from all over the world and at a good price. the staff are friendly and very helpful, just tell them what you like to smoke and they can give you a smaller selection to choose from. :thumbsup: i have never been disapointed with the dope here, pay an average to high price from the list and you want wanna leave. :stoned:

there's normally good music being played, nice and relaxing. they also sell 'bier' which is a bonus in my book. on a good day it's nice to sit outside by the canel, smoke a pipe, drink a bier and watch all the people go about there lives.

i'd like to know what everyones favourite is even if it's the same as mine.

i'm gonna have a bong now, catch ya later. :stoned:

You live in amsterdam? or relatively close?

If so you are one lucky bastard!! Smoke ridiculous amounts for those of us who only get to visit once in a blue moon.

Off-topic

You know I noticed that I have EXTREMELY different shroom trips in the dam than while here. When I trip out in the US, I can just feel that there is some extremely wrong with my enviroment, I feel fake and tacky among other things..

Over there I have extremely happy trips, burden free, but ive only tripped out 4 times there so maybe I was just lucky....

i live about 100 miles from a'dam

i like the effect of the shrooms there quite relaxed trippy, they work well with the dope.
shroom's are different in england too, i've seen a few people lose it there but not here.
the shrooms in holland are like the weed/hash goverment controlled so they say how strong there allowed to be at point of sale, there sold fresh in holland now years ago you could get them dry.

most shroom shops are pretty good there's one on warmoesstraat, i don't know it's name but it's a big(for a'dam) open white shop. they have good shrooms :thumbsup:

Have you ever been to Greenhouse coffeeshop or Barneys??

Never been -- but apparently The Grey Area is a good spot for Americans.

To tell you the truth, I wouldnt care what coffeeshop was best in Amsterdam, any coffeeshop would be best in Amsterdam cuz I could fuckin buy a large variety of weed and hash and smoke in a big ass shop with other people!!!! Legally!!!!! I need to go to Amsterdam :(.

this place tried to rip me and a friend off, the weed was wet, the hash was harsh. :mad:
possible the worst shop i've ever been to.
maybe they treat americans differently.

there's a good shop just around the corner on herengracht, amnesia.

dude! trust me you don't wanna come all the way to the dam to buy shit dope in a shit coffeeshop knowing you can get better back home.

there are a few very shit shops. the best thing to do is ask to see it before you buy, and avoid tourist traps like greenhouse & bulldog.

happy tokin' :thumbsup:

can anyone recommend a nice hostel in Amsterdam close to some decent coffee houses? I want to pay between 15 -20 euro per night...

happy smoking:dance:

make sure you got a nice warm coat, feb is cold, it snows quite often in feb.

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'

hey guys i got a question in amsterdam how old do you have to be to purchase weed or go to a coffeshop?

I heard barney's was great that is where i got my NL #5 seeds :D

anyone answer my question???

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**.

Homegrown Fantasy man. All home grown mostly killing sativa. Try their Durban Poison. It was the best smoke I had in Amsterdam

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....

YES...I often wonder if I should leave now and go directly to Amsterdam - Seems like heaven on earth to me! They have these cafes where you can sample kinds of weed and then decide which to buy! TOTALLY AWESOME! Why is Amsterdam the only place on Earth that has weed cafes? And why is Amsterdam so far away from me?! Someday I will make the trek there! :o

I used to hang out at the Bulldog when I'd go back in the day.
Didn't they have that killer Spacecake?

I think that it was the Hard Rock that had the spiral staircase that led to a smoking den downstairs.

I recall that they had a giant ashtray that everyone missed.:stoned:

The HR was the first place that I ever sampled Kashmir hash...a real treat!

cool we should all go over an meet in a certain shop and have a gud ule smooke. what du yas say ...a bit far fetched or is neone up for it

which one did Dave Attel go in his journy to Amsterdam..

i don't think you can get peyote in holland, i've never seen it. shrooms on the other hand yes. there's a smartshop on warmoesstraat opposite the greenhouse effect, i can't remember the name it was a big(for holland) open shop, white, with glass cabinets all around the sides.

the flying pigs good, vossiusstraat is better then nieuwendijk coz it's in a much better neibourhood.

i went back in january of this year. i can't remember all of the ones we went to, except for the first: de dampkring. whatever we smoked there...well i've never been so deliciously faded in my life. :D the only downside is that it's pretty small and pretty popular, so there isn't usually room to sit down and kick it.
