*** my sincerest of apologies if this is Off Topic *** Not like you think. Here is the deal folks - as some of you may or may not already know, teh wife and I will be in teh 'dam for Queensday which from my count is now only 3 small weeks away. Now, a little back story - the wife and I are avid (daily) pot smokers, who, as many do, go to Amsterdam for the outstanding availability of the gange(among other things!). Now, the wife has decided that she is going to abstain from smoking until we get over there... the idea being that if she smoked up to the day we get there, it just wont be as.... well... special. So, I pose this question to all of my hipforums comrades - Is 3 weeks/a month going to make any kind of difference??? RANT's A Go Go! ~bigmyq
hey bigmyq, I stopped once for a week a while back and when I smoked that first joint it kicked my ass. maybe smoking more before going to build up a tolerance to all that kick ass smoke over there. I can taste that hash right now in my mind mmmmmmm see you in
it wont matter . prob would be better to try an strengthen ur tolerance rather than weaken it, cause that weed over there wont care lol it will get u no matter who u are
I only smoke when I go to Amsterdam and the breaks help get me totally stoned (like when I first started!!) so I'd recommend it 100% and seeing as it takes 28 days for it to be totally out of your system if you were to be taking a drug test its got to be scientifically the way to do it as well Jon
IMO, I really don't think it makes much difference to be honest. The stuff I get in the UK is exactly the same and I mean comes directly from Amsterdam anyway and I can get just as pleasantly stoned here everyday as I can there. It makes no difference, however saying all that I do actually choose not to smoke copious amounts in the UK before going, purely out of preference rather than clear my system of THC. Once in A'dam it's all too easy to reach the marijuana plateau effect within an hour anyway. Choose what suits you best. Interesting question though.
Personally I try to smoke as much weed as poss the week leading up to my trip. I know when I get to Dam its pretty much non stop smoking (bar sleeping) so certainly don't wanna be caught out and make myself ill !! In the last 6 months the longest ive probably gone without a joint is 2/3 days and I certainly think that small amount of time without weed made me feel more stoned than I normally would after a J !
I failed a piss test five weeks after stopping smoking in preparation for a new job that required a one-time test! Of course, I had been smoking hash daily for around 18 months prior to abstaining... Other than that one period of abstinance, I have been smoking almost daily since 1969, so I should be the perfect test subject as to whether the pot there is all that superior to the super-skunk we get here. I'll be sure to post a report here while in A'Dam.
Just make sure you score your marijuana from reputable coffeeshops and not from the tourist orientated ones. Otherwise you are going to be seriously let down, believe me. I've been tons of times to A'dam and many times the marijuana has been truely mind-blowing other times suspiciously weak and really naff.
Right on guys - thanks for the feedback. It'll be interesting to see what the wifie says... See some of yous on the 29th!!!
I totally abstain from junk food, caffeine, cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, mushrooms, hookers, ecstasy and coke all year round. Then once a year I go to Amsterdam for a fortnight and totally cane it!!! I recommend this approach.
