enjoy ,dont matter how much time u got in the dam you'll fill it no problemo,,things just happen ,you'll plan a trip to the heineken and probably end up in the katsu ,its that kinda town ...

as for weed in Scotland ,,unless u know someone prior to u landing who will hook u up i'd just wait till u hit Holland,,,theyre another major drought in Uk and finding anything of quality will be hard,,,

i know theres a few members living in the dam who'll probably post soon and escort u about for a few hours

have fun

I don't care what you want to do. Party along now you still can cause in a few years Amsterdam won't be much fun anymore. So i don't care what you do as long as you do NOT add to a statistic giving my evil christian government more false reasons to ban shrooms and cannabis.

So don't do shrooms and weed and never call an ambulance if you need one okay.

go to seed banks... LOAD UP. tape em' to your nuts and bring em' back to the states.

well, to say amsterdam is everything i imagined is an understatment. to dream of going to a shop, purchasing the best weed and hash imaginable is one thing, but actually doing it is a feeling you cant relate to untill you do it. so far ive been to umma gumma, barneys, and katsu. umma gumma and katsu were great, barneys has a good atmosphere but the product is subpar, i wont pass judgment on barneys hash because i only bought the ketema, which was as good as i would expect, but the "N.Y.C. Diesel" was little more than bc export. little smell, little taste, the potency wasnt there either, although this was smoked after some top notch arghileh(SP?) from umma gumma. still for 12 euros a gram id expect something better (it could be that i grew up smoking the REAL NYC diesel..)

so far heres what ive had:
--------------------------

barneys: nyc diesel - id rate it a 5/10
Ketema hash - 7/10 - very hard, no smell untill burned, but then very spicey and nice

umma gumma: arghileh - 10/10 - so damn good i dont remember the exact name! this bud hits you like a tone of bricks and keeps on gettin stronger well after an hour after smoking it, this kept me stoned solid all evening.

Katsu: Northen lights - 8/10 - an oldy but goody, everything youd expect from the classic northern lights! i purchased a gram, but from the looks of the bag the extremely nice (and attractive) lady behind the counter gave me closer to 2 grams.

after dinner i think ill be heading over to the doors and dampkring, and most likely back to umma gumma to give there hash a try...

any IC'ers in the dam care to join me in some fine hash this evening?

 

[Guest]

try the rokerij too there love potion was nice and i believe they have sour diesel yum yum

 

[mosca negra]

Don't forget to stop by the Bluebird. Excellent weed and some of the best selection of hash in Amsterdam!

well, im heading over to barneys uptown for some breakfast in about 15 minuets, and then just some last minuet shopping and picture taking before the 8 hour flight back to new york. Amsterdam was absolutley lovely and i truly cant wait to be back again. the one thing i regret is not going to as many coffeeshops as i would have liked to, though 5 or 6 in three days isnt bad if you ask me! so as it stands heres what ive smoked:

hash:
king hassan - from the doors
umma gumma, nepalese charras, lala - from umma gumma
ketema gold - from barneys

weed:
northern lights - from katsu
nyc diesel - from barneys
nyc diesel - from umma gumma (waaay better than barneys)
argileh - from umma gumma
bubble gum - from umma gumma
g13 - from popeyes

im sure theres more, im just forgetting some...
to all those going to amsterdam id HIGHly (hehe) reccomend checking out umma gumma, excellent, nice staff, great prices, and even better product. the man behind the counter was truly interested in what a new yorker had to say about his NYC diesel.

on to something unrelated if i can, i would like to ask for a moment of silence for my pet gourami, comet, who my girlfriend called to inform me passed to the big aquarium in the sky last night

i dunno why so many folks think they MUST breakfast at barney's,,theres loads of better breakfast sellers and cheaper too,,look down the warmoesstraat or try over by leidesplein

heres a thought ,,,breakfast at Barneys in a dirty smokey atmosphere or for the same price breakfast buffet at the Krasponolsky

hazyfontazy: barneys was litterally around the block from me, and barneys uptown is much nicer (and cleaner) than barneys. i wont argue that its expensive though, an irish breakfast for 14 euro? at least it was good, hey, im on vacation.....

or was at least, since im now back home in the U.S.
time to go get some weed, only now i cant walk into a coffeeshop for it

thanks for an amazing time and some awesome memories amsterdam!

glad u enjoyed it ,,time to put some pics up and do a travel report ,,,

what was the best weed and hash u found ?

 

[clorox]

id say the strongest weed i smoked was the argileh from umma gumma, but the weed i enjoyed the most was the northern lights from katsu. i think the umma gumma hash and king hasan hash from the doors were my 2 favorite hash's. umma gumma is a nice tan color, very soft, very sweet, with a nice clear high, i dont think the kind hasan requires much of an explanation lol
