your first coffeeshop

what was the first coffeeshop u went to on your first trip to amsterdam?
do u remember your first?
what kind of smokeables to u purchase?


my first cs was the rokerji just off the leidsplien
my first purchase was 2.2 grams of northern lights
and 2 grams of royal cream hash

 

Mine was Sheeba for absolutely no apparent reason.
It was simply the first one to fall at my feet that very first visit.
The dealer was a star, very helpful and chatty he was too and
he still works there today.
I bought 2g of Super Silver Haze, never forget the first one. LOL

 

My first CS was the Old Church, cant honestly remember the first bag I ever bought, what I do remember is being a 16 year old and blasting a j to myself and being more stoned than I ever thought possible.

Getting wasted from 1 j, those were the days

 

first shop was of course, Central. right outside central station. couldn't wait so just bought a pre-rolled skunk joint. blew my socks off. (in dublin you're lucky if you can get soapbar.) bought 2grams of xxx and the rest is history. jumped on a bus to our hostel (flying pig - great place) sittin alone beside some old dutch lady breakin my balls laughin for no apparent reason. think i scared the shit out of her and ended up miles away from my hostel.

 

some sketch reggae style cs, it was run by pakistanis , luckily wi was with a random pakistani canadian so they sold us the super dank under the table shit, cause he was able to speak to them in urdu, word

 

it was the one at bob youth's hostel...We smoked a massive blunt..after two puffs, i was laughing like an idiot. Damn i miss amsterdam!

 

Excalibur for some Super Skunk and a beer, quite a few years ago now!!

 

I can't even remember what shop it was........


But I was given some early girl by the driver who took me from Schipcol Airport to my first hostel. I rolled it into a dutch master and smoked it in the hostel bar as we arrived a solid 4 hours before check in. Those hours certainly didn't "fly by" but I certainly was "flying high"

 

Mine was the Bluebird. I was burdened by the whole Canadian illegality thing and I was nervous. I has a piece of space cake and scored some weed. I can't recall what variety. The combination of cake and a doob made things very interesting. I got lost and loved it. Wandered in the Pijp for over an hour.

 

oh the bluebird, how i miss it

 

The grasshopper
Purple haze
yummy

 

best "purple" haze i ever had was from La Canna in 1999. The bud looked like a purple pine cone. Every flower and leaf was sort of spaced from each other. Just like a pine cone or christmas tree. you could see right between each ring of branches around the main stem. Thats about as good as I can describe the bud structure so I hope you understand. It was the most purple bud I have ever come across. Almost burgandy but every stem leaf and flower was purple damn it! And the taste was pure pine with a musky haze back drop. Besides air conditioning and one cool waitress named alex, that haze was the only thing I liked about La Canna

 

It was late at night and I hadn't looked at the map in a while, so I'm not sure where I was. It was a small shop with only a few places to sit, and had bamboo and tropical looking wall decor. It was somewhere near Rembrantplein down a narrow street. If anyone knows which one it is, would ya let me know?

 

Sounds to me like Arabica Lounge, up a narrow street called Amstelstraat just North off Rembrandtsplein and going towards the Amstel River, the CS would be on your right.

Is this the place you're thinking of?

 

nah. the CS I went to was a tiny place. more tropical than arabic.

 

First CS I went to was unfortunatly... La Canna........ They had good weed and average prices.. but the hash I bough there (zero zero) and (Turkish 12) werent good at all... There bud selection was nice.. but the dealer seemed like a dick or was just overly pushy/rushy...

Now... Double Reggae on the other hand.. VERY COOL weedtender.. he had an irish accecent as was extremly helpful. and even hooked it up with an extra gram of White Widow.. He also complimented on our weed selection as he said the choices I went with were "Locals favorites". He also gave us a "heads up" on the CS scene.. telling us some of the shops to avoid (bulldogg,grasshopper) and how some of the weed tenders hate "americans" (although I never once went into a CS with that type of attitude)

 

well we hit the dam in december and the first CS we tried was the one directly across the street from us, this happened to be Homegrown Fantasy


We bought 2g of "Dragons Flight" and 2g of "Shiva" on our first visit, we really loved this place and it soon became our "local" whilst we was there

 

I love Homegrown Fantasy.....what a nice place to start out in. Without sounding hippyish or new agey, dare I say it has excellent positive energy and an uplifting atmosphere.

PLUS

Your piss glows in the blacklight bathroom!!!!!! LOL

 

That was Pink floyd, bought Bubble gum iceolator, insane hash.. And we bought some of the jack herrier too..nice weed but the hash was craaaaaazyyyy

 

How do i delete a post?
