Hey, guys. Planning my first trip to Amsterdam this summer and I have a few questions, of course. First, don't the coffee shops have candies made with hash? If so, how are they? Anyone tried um? Can anyone recommend um? Second, lemme describe what kinda weed I'm looking for so you can hopefully tell me what strains I want and where to find them. First of all, I wanna be functional high; no couch lock. I wanna be able to smoke up and go on tours or go to art museums an' shit. I wanna go to art Second, I'm looking for stuff that's cerebral and contemplative and maybe psychedelic; something that maybe gives me some energy and makes me talkative and social, but not obnoxiously so; I don't wanna make an ass of myself. I don't want anything that makes me too giggly if I'm going to be running around doing stuff in public. Third, I know that the mushrooms are gone, but what else do the smart shops have that anyone can recommend? I was hoping to get some shrooms and check out the Van Gogh museum because I like the way art looks when you're on shrooms, but I guess that's not happening. Are there any acceptable substitutes? Well, that's about all I can think of for now. I may have more later. Thanks in advance for the ideas and recommendations. See ya there.
Hey, guys. Planning my first trip to Amsterdam this summer and I have a few questions, of course. First, don't the coffee shops have candies made with hash? If so, how are they? Anyone tried um? Can anyone recommend um? Yes there are hash bon bons to be had. Depends on what you can handle, how many you eat and how well they are made.

Any Hazes, Dr. Grinspoon is a great sativa (Amnesia/Barneys), Honey B(Amnesia/Barneys), White Dolphin (Dolphins), Northern Lights, Kali Mist, Sage, Strawberry Cough (75%), Durban Poison, Buddha's are usually Sativas. Theres a partial list. Any decent CS will have a budtender that knows his shit and wont steer you wrong. Don't be afraid to tell him/her exactly what you want.

Philosophers stones otherwise known as truffles. You have to eat more of these than good shrooms but they have a nice effect. Also, you didnt hear this from me but, shrooms can still be had in Dam but you have to look and ask around. BUY NOTHING OFF THE STREETS!!!!! You'll get robbed trust me. Well, that's about all I can think of for now. I may have more later. Thanks in advance for the ideas and recommendations. See ya there. Peace...I envy ya...You are gonna have the best time you've ever had!!!
Hey, thanks for the advice, FZ. Got another question for ya. What's the difference between sativas and indicas? Where I come from, we don't have much variety. We just kinda take what we can get. It does the job, but I have no idea what it is, really. Thanks again, man.
Sativas are an energetic up high. Giggley fun kinda weed that gets you high without putting the lights out. Indicas (My personal favorite) create what's called a couch lock feeling. In other words a heavy body high where you just want to sit and veg. Altho a seasoned smoker can still smoke Ind. over and over and still be active altho it can get to be a struggle...lol Great stuff for right before bed. I also find Ind's good for movies or sporting events, anything where you'll be sitting for awhile.
Shrooms have been made illegal but thankfully they forgot an intire strain of shrooms, they're like truffles but they contain psilocybin and psilocyn so in fact they're normal shrooms. You can ask about these in any good smart shop; they'll have it. Other things from the smart shop aren't too advisable, either they don't do much or they're just not that pleasant, the only-type-of-shrooms-still-legal shrooms are definatly the best, they're equally potent to normal shrooms. Added to that, avoid large coffeeshops on large squares that are very clearly coffeeshops; they aim at tourists and their prices are higher and qualities less.
