Amsterdam Booked!!!!!!!

[psteve]

U should visit the cannabis college, they have a grow room downstairs and a big fuckin vape. Me and my mate blasted some northern lights in it. I'd also recommend this wee coffee shop called tweedys just round from vondel park, small place with a pool table that sells temple ball hash, fuckin awesome!

This is good advice!
Try the Afghan Skunk at Tweedy's!
Cannabis College is the ONLY place you can see an official legal grow in Holland.
Don't bother with the 'sex museums'. If you want to see a sex show, go to one of the big ones like Casa Rosso.
Go see some music while you're there. The Melkweg and Paradiso usually have something good, or if you prefer, the Opera house usually has free performances, or the Concertgebouw is worth seeing if you can afford it.
To find the best coffeeshops in Amsterdam, get out and walk around! Go to the museums, and just follow your nose along the way!
I love Amnesia. It's where I usually start and end my days in A'dam. Great weed, Great hash, and friendly staff and atmosphere make it a place I keep going back to.
I agree that the Grey Area is small, uncomfortable, and sometimes downright unfriendly. But I still think their weed is excellent.
If you have enough weed and just want a chill place to smoke it, I recommend the Sensi Museum Coffeeshop. It's just around the corner from the Sensi Seed store, and the Hemp And Cannabis Museum, and just a little further from the Cannabis College. I like to get some weed from The Greenhouse (just a block away,), then sit in the Sensi shop and have a coffee and a blow.
There's a museum for everyone.
If you like ships, the Scheepvaart Museum is not far from Centraal Station.
If you like modern art, try the Stedelijk Museum.
If you like cats, check out the Kattencabinet.
Be sure to see the Bloemenmarkt on a sunny day.
Go to the AlbertCuypMarkt, and have some Stroopwaffels!
While you're there, look for coffeeshop Katsu. GREAT weed and hash. Try the Scooby Snacks if they have any, and the Bio Sage.
Take the fast ferry boat to the beach at Ijmuiden.
Take a train to Haarlem for the day, and check out Willie Wartel's Coffeeshop.
The shops in Haarlem usually have better weed and hash, and lower prices than most of the A'dam shops.
Utrecht is nice too, but the shops are friendlier in Haarlem from my experience.
Back in A'dam, when you get hungry, what kind of food do you prefer? I can recommend a lot of nice places. Most are kind of spendy, but a few are affordable and still great. Let me know what you like, and I'll have a lot more info for you.

I can't wait to go back. One day i'll hopefully work in the Grey Area, if not, one of the other coffeeshops, that's my dream. I finish my last exam on the 19th so after that i'll be free from education. Those red light girls are tempting to say the least lol. I love the tolerance. I gotta get out of London, it's a a nanny state gone mad. I want some OG Hindu Kush

What time are you guys going in November? Just booked a 200 dollar flight for November 3-7. I'm already meeting up with two separate groups of friends there, but would love to meet up for a blunt and a pint if any one is in the city on similar dates.

I went the same time last year and it was a blast. The weed wasn't as good as I thought it would be but that was because of one major flaw: no map! I did hours of research before I went, knew of every coffeeshop that other members(and sites on the Internet) had recommended - De Dampkring, Rokerij, Barneys, etc. - and I only got to visit those shops when I would stonerly stumble past them on my walks.

I ended up buying a majority of my weed from the Bulldog since it was the closest one to my uptown hostel, to only later find out that its one of the poorest quality(with highest profit) coffeeshops in the city! So now not only am I buying a detailed map when I get there, I'm coming equipped with step-by-step directions to over a dozen of the best coffeshops from the steps of my hostel.

A coffeeshop that doesn't get much praise is The Noon, excellent Blueberry Haze for a decent price and multiple glass bongs for your choosing! And a cool rasta-esque budtender, too.

Remember to bring valid I.D. such as a passport to every coffeshop. I was only 18 last time and only got carded twice, but one really hurt. A group of four of us, all aged 18-22, went into Barneys and the dick behind the counter wouldn't let us stay since my 21 year old friend didn't have I.D. He wasn't a dick because he carded us, he was a dick since he was a dick and didn't let one of us buy bud. He's probably been fired since then, hopefully.

Also, has anyone been to The Coin? Seems like a real nice menu but have never heard a thing about 'em.

Extra Suggestions: Wok to Walk, Waffles & Fry King!

I spent 6 months in the Netherlands for student exchange in the city of Alkmaar, about 35 min. by train from Amsterdam. Its a very nice city, has the old down town area, and a couple good coffee shops. I highly recommend Stepping Out, and get some of the Big Tops. I know this isnt a real strain, but its a different strain all the time, but it is also the best weed in the city all the time. Fridays the coffeeshop De Brug has happy hour from 4 to 7, buy 12â?¬ and get a 5â?¬ bag for free.

We went to Amsterdam about every other weekend, and the shops with the best selection were Barney's and Greenhouse. They have a lot of prize winning strains, but they are also expensive.

I saw that someone else recommended Utrecht. Another nice city, bigger than Alkmaar, but the good thing about these places is that the weed is cheaper. The money you spend on the train tickets will be saved in the lower priced weed and hash and drinks at the coffee shops.

Enjoy your trip!
