Go to a coffee shop, they'll give you a menu with a bunch of different kinds of weed on it, and you get to pick out whatever you want.

No, I'm not kidding.

amsterdam is sick, it is that easy, ask for a menu and take your pick, as of last summer it was € 10/gram for most weeds, im talking about high quality killer stuff. Numerous hashes available as well, a luxury we dont always have here in the states. have a sick trip

I used to live in Germany and believe me, Amsterdam is gross as hell.

Here is MY tip from personal wisdom: avoid redlight district. You'll never have seen so many NASTY hookers in your life.

And if you do go, tell Angelique yo.

haha has anyone been to anyother citys in the Netherlands? since Amsterdam according to some, is dirty and shitty what are some other good places? Rotterdam maybe?

I've heard prices for coffee shops are lower outside of amsterdam. Rotterdam will have good bud, Ive heard the vibe is alot less touristy, and chill there.

then maybe thats where i wanna go

just got back from amsterdam and it was amazing.

i would nto call it dirty, especially if ur from the states and live in a lrage city.

dont buy from dealers, its unneccesary and the only way the make money is off oturists because everyone else knows to go to a coffeeshop

my two favorite coffeeshops were the black star and the grey area. the grey area has the best weed IMO and has an amazing collection of glass bongs to use. it is small however so try and go at a less crowded time so you can grab a table. the black star has amazing deals, 1.7gs for 10 euro, and the reggae music makes and generally chill vibes make it a favorite of mine.

as for tips, dont take rips that are going to make you cough. you will look like just another dumb tourist who cant handle smoking in the unique environment. just relax with your smoke and dont try to be showy in any way. by this i mean dont be like, shit im about to rip this bong up and take the biggest hit ever. also, sharing joints is kind of unusual, especially between more than two people. most locals roll their joints with tobacco, something many tourists find unusual.

but defenietly go to the grey area and pick up a gram or two of their grey haze and chill with one of their amazing glass bongs, that was my most enjoyable time i had in amsterdam, and everyone there agreed that it was their favorite shop.

stay away from the red light district, and dont spend all of your time in the coffee shops. the city has alot of amazing sights to offer including the heineken brewery, breathtaking art museums, and some amazing architecture(sp?)

Yeah man, same thing just happened to me. I felt like I was reading a flyer in the airport, you know to like advertise for places like that. Weird.

Amsterdam's alot of fun, just remember its not nesecarily (can never fucking spell that word) chill to smoke everywhere. I stayed in a sketchy cheap place so we could blaze it up in our room but most hotels I think you can't. At night in the red light district you can pretty much just smoke anywhere.

The big ass park by the van gough museum and the rijkseisekseisjeksij-something museum is a pretty awesome place to smoke. Its got these metal plates in the ground that make noise when you jump on them and some people are really good at it.

If you buy shrooms don't take the whole container, I learned that the hard way. If you wander around the red light district they have a couple pretty awesome glass stores, theres one next to an eastern religious shop where the owner blows some sick pieces. And some serious belgian waffles, some bomb munchies.

Go the the cannabis college, its a weed museum.
