first time i went to amsterdam i started on the white widow too excellent smoke. hope ya have a blast, im heading back to amsterdam very soon and cannot wait.. :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :rasta:

jack heurer is a great smoke, im hoping to sample as much as possible (again) but its difficult remembering all the types

edit: ps forgot to say, when in the coffeeshops be sure to ask the people working if you are unsure which to try, i found most places to be very friendly and helpful, gotta watch out for our fellow smokers

www.coffeeshop.freeuk.com covers a lot of the places, well worth a read before going

When I was there a year ago we had some purple bud (Purple haze?) that was beautiful and very stony... but not as green-tasting as the white widow which was equally stony and turned out to be my favorite.

I think the top-end cafe is the GreenHouse. Two there I believe. We went to the one on the outside of the center; very chill and incredible menu. Some people hate the Grasshopper and Bulldog (also multiple locations) but I had blasts at all of these spots.

Finally, my favorite spot in the whole city is the Hash Museam. They only sell seeds, but the place is seriously chill. Once you've scored I suggest you head over there to smoke over a cappucino and game of chess/checkers, etc.. Staff was super-cool and the patrons the same.

GL mate. I think you have motivated me to get back over there. Gonna check ticket prices now.. Have fun!

O, sorry, final tip; if you wander around red-light district in evenings (and you should!) be prepared for the most aggressive drug dealers you have ever seen. Just avoid eye contact and walk briskly; they'll find someone else to bother. Just something to be prepared for cause it can give you a shock and ruin your high if your'e not prepared your first night out.

I had an ex go over there, and he told me the same thing about the red light district...funny.

My birthday is in December too, but since next year is a big one for me (30) I will wait until then to go, and since my bday is the 30th of Dec, figger I'll do New Years too. It must be so much cheaper for you all to go there!! Maybe the next time my parents invite me to N Ireland to visit family, I will accept and hop on over to the Dam...lmao I just checked the flights the other day for the Cup and they were no less than $900 for return flights...then on top of that, would have to spend on a judges pass, accomodation and food...I am going to check the prices for all the other times of year...maybe they are cheaper when the Cup isn't going on...can you imagine the search I would have to undergo to get back into Canada! lmao

Right on that you're going. Check out some of this advice - these people obviously know what they are talking about!!

Dont bother with the cannabis Cup.Its for High Times, Tourist types.
Ive been too Amsterdam 8ish times cant remember right now lol,,,,
But ive never been during the Cup. The impression i was given by some locals is that they see it as a typical rip off of needie smoke tourists. Im not saying the Dutch dont like visitors but it just stinks a little too me and i love the place plus its easyer to find a place to say at other times off the year. All that judges pass crap just bugs me. I saw a bus one year taking Folks from one coffee shop to the next so they could get there pass's stamped by the coffee shop to say they visited,, lolol then they bale back onto the bus lol, no smoking just doing it for the name of doing the tour,, Cannabis Cup i think Not.,,,,
Amsterdam, is a nice expensive place to stay and if it wasnt for the weed their tourist numbers would die on their feet...

Party On , D

[gr8misadventures]

Hey Drought..thanks very much for that. I might have found myself in a tourist trap...lol I think I will check the prices outside of those November dates. Thanks!

[Land of Drought]
