• My trip to the 'Dam
    33 replies, posted
So yeah, you may remember I posted a thread asking about Amsterdam, I actually went on monday and got back on thursday night. And yeah I had an awesome time, it was fucking peng. If you have any questions, ask away. Also I personally didn't take photos, but hopefully there will be some appearing on Facebook or something so hang tight if you wanted pictures. Our story starts on Sunday the 27th of June, a warm, balmy sunday afternoon, I've packed my stuff and I'm watching round a mates, I'm fucking buzzing, cos in about 6 or so hours I'll be leaving for the airport. After only get a couple of hours sleep, we get up and walk round the corner for our lift. We were then transported to Stansted airport, we got into the departure area very easily, airport security wasn't this lax last time I flew. Maybe a terrorist attack isn't imminent for a change. The flight was good as well, it seemed to arrive after about five minutes after taking off, I had a beer and everything on the plane. We arrived about 8am local time, it took us about an hour to leave the airport as well needed to get train tickets and the queue was fucking huge. So we leave the Amsterdam train station, the time must be a bit closer to 9am local time. We phone our hoteliers and the girl on the other end gave us directions to the hotel, it was a quick walk. So we arrive at our hotel, the people running the establishement let us in, and show us to our room, it's a nice square room with sofa beds, TV, kitchenette and a bathroom. The hotellier asks us if we smoke "of course we do". She went and got our welcoming gift; a nice bag of green worth maybe between €10-15, I loved this hotel already. The people were so friendly too and helpful, they even offered to sort us some weed if some of us were under 18 (we weren't). A quick sniff showed that this seems to be just plain old power plant we get at home, so We quickly skinned up, chucking the whole bag in one enormous king-L joint. Fucking hell this thing is big and ridiculous, we coulda had maybe five nice joints out of that, fuck it though. This is the 'Dam. After smoking the huge joint, in the sweltering sun, we all went in on a couple of grams of stuff that slips the mind. We then went back to our apartment and smoked for the rest of the day, inbetween falling asleep, we also had some space cake which was fucking glorious. Beyond this point things kinda blend into everything else, it's not too awful though, my friend took a lot of pictures and stuck little cards with every different kind of bud we had. We managed to save a small amount of everything we smoked which we put into two blunts on the last day, these blunts were made of 15 different types of cannabis and a bit of hash. In total we smoked 18 different types of weed. My favourite was probably Mexican Haze. Also, we had a look about the red light district for the lulz, AND NO, I DIDN'T KNOB A HOOKER. It did induce much giggles. Alot of them though looked dead in the eyes. I'd like to say that in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Amsterdam, all the people were so friendly and helpful and I got so incredibly blazed. Fuck yeah. They really need to have some sort of system similar to the coffee shops in the UK, that would be most splendid. [b]tl;dr[/b] i went to amsterdam and the peep shows advertise animal sex for €2. Any Questions?
Yeah, what does 'peng' actually mean?
How much did it cost to go and stay there?
My mates mum paid for our hotel, but it should've cost £105 each for 4 days but you get £25 back on the last day. The flights were £70 each. [editline]06:05PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Cheryl Cole;23082230]Yeah, what does 'peng' actually mean?[/QUOTE] Good, fine, fit; stuff like that. A bit of peng would be a nice bit of weed or a fit bird :p
I'm high.. :smile:
why didnt we meet up and get baked? :(
dude i wanna go
Sounds like a dream vacation, a stoner's paradise. So was the weed overpriced like I hear it is?
Yeah, what was the hotels name? :smug:
Glad you had fun man, I've already been this year but i'm going again for a few days next month. Last time I went, all air traffic stopped the day we came back because of that volcano in Iceland. The place that I was staying at offered us a free day, but we didn't take it because we didn't have much money left. Good thing I didn't, but to be honest I can think of a lot worse places to be stranded than Amsterdam. Try Amnesia Haze next timee you go, I love that shit edit: Did you bring any weed back with you?
did you try the animal sex thing?
[QUOTE=2-d;23090571]Sounds like a dream vacation, a stoner's paradise. So was the weed overpriced like I hear it is?[/QUOTE] I wouldn't say it's overpriced. The price varies from €7-15, most stuff is about €10 which is for a gram. But remember these are grams of good quality, they look like slightly small benners but of good quality bun.

I've just remembered actually; when my mate skinned up a joint amnesia, I was sleeping and he put bag over his head and woke me by standing over me and shouting amnesia haze. Scared the shit out of me. And no, we didn't bring any back. We talked about it but thought it'd probably be a bad idea, but then there was absolutely no security on the way back. [QUOTE=Sleepy Head;23099193]did you try the animal sex thing?[/QUOTE] No, it was only advertised.
Here are a couple of pictures: This one shows the strains that we bought, I'm sure there were more but apparently not: [img]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs162.snc4/37441_409701819508_511914508_4226254_6415913_n.jpg[/img] We had a few joints of each and saved a small amount of each. Then we ground it: [img]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs031.ash2/34898_409701829508_511914508_4226256_135101_n.jpg[/img]
That hash looks prime. How was it?
also next time you go knob a hooker
The hash was lovely, I sprinkled only a small amount in the first joint I rolled of it and it was laaaaaaaarvely.
I found that after I had been there and smoked the weed the stuff back home just doesn't live up to it.
i'm planning to go with a few people in january, ferry to holland and train to amsterdam from there and stay in a hostel, anything wrong with this plan? i'm thinking maybe january would be shitty weather or something but i don't know
[QUOTE=Madcap;23130697]I found that after I had been there and smoked the weed the stuff back home just doesn't live up to it.[/QUOTE] Since coming back, I've bought two eighths of what was meant to be nice and was. I also bought a benners of what we normally buy and it don't compare; was harsher, nastier tasting and not as effective.
i really want to go to the cannabis cup for a week one year. currently, i'm only 18 years old and a poor college student. also my family wouldnt approve, because they would know what i'm going there for. you're lucky

Do what I'm doing and say you're going to travel around Europe or something.. which is what I will do, but I shall be spending a lot of time in The Netherlands
i just straight up told my mum where i was going since she knows i smoke anyway, she's cool with it
I just told my mum that I was going on holiday to Amsterdam if that was okay with her. My mum has probably known I smoke for over a year now, but she's never approached me about. Last night she asked me if I went to any coffee shops, I just said maybe and she laughed. She probably expected me to do so, but I don't think she realised how much we smoked there.
oh boy i really want to go amsterdam after reading all this. maybe i should start some fund for a future trip

We also aparntly didn't even get that good stuff out there.
The cheapest gram we bought there was laughing buddha at €6.50, but it was actually one of my favourites.
a gram for less than 7 euros? i'm bringing over £150 just for drugs, i can see now that it's enough (probably)
I see what they did there: [img]http://www.funkychickin.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/Blue-Kitchen.164114536_large.jpg[/img] Says "stoner friendly" on the homepage, now that's really friendly. :3:
I know where I am booking a room at when I go there.
how much did it cost you to stay at the funky chickin?
