Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

A lot of information, not a lot of words. Great report from a place very new to me -- thanks!

Anna, Purmerend – Pretty, quiet shop. Not much custom. The person at the counter wasn't thrilled to see us. The Border, Amsterdam – Funny place in that it has a lot of chatty customers and nowhere to sit down and smoke. Decent menu. Does have a detached outside smoking area … that's often referred t...

yes Afgaan Skunk (Splif II, Purmerend, €10/1.25g) – A stone with a beam of clarity shining through it. A good feeling. It lent a splendor to the outdoors. Larry's OG Diesel Haze (Het Binnenhof, Zwolle, €12/g) – A social sativa, made me want to talk and laugh. Walking around Zwolle, the world made m...

EasilySuede: I liked Purmerend. Hoorn, too. We all loved Enkhuizen. You will enjoy biking in this area.

Kermit: I'm so glad people get into the biking idea. I had the impression everyone wanted to stay in Amsterdam!

EasilySuede: Nordle … interesting. Magus Genetics' Warlock is also an Afghan-Skunk cross. Have you tried any of these strains? Enkhuizen. I know it's boring when people repeat themselves, but Enkhuizen is the sight to see. If you're really into Beemster Polder, you might try biking along Oostdijk, t...

Fascinating report. I clicked on the link for the photos to see weed, but got kidnapped by the landscape. You have introduced me to a beautiful corner of the planet.

Treetop: That's very funny, but I could never eat at a place called Chez Dick :)

Shiva ('t Ooievaartje, Amsterdam-Noord, €10/g) – God, this was a mild stone. It’s cool and easy. There’s almost nothing to it. I thought it wasn’t doing anything, yet I lost the key to my room within 60 seconds of getting it from reception. In larger amounts, it would be interesting on 50km bike seg...

Kush (Anna, Purmerend, €10/g) – I smoked the Kush on walking along the canal on the western edge of Purmerend. It was already dark. Kush produced a level, medium-strength stone. There were no complicating features. There were no flashes of anxiety. It wasn’t euphoric, but it went well with a twiligh...

Treetop: Blame me, not yourself. It's been four months since I started it, and here I am, still writing it. It's definitely a travelogue, rather than news :)

Fred: Thanks! Great avatar.

Treetop: I'm still working from my notes from August!

Het Binnenhof (Zwolle), Het Ballonnetje (for the weed). De Poort (Enkhuizen) is a nice, safe nook in a beautiful town. I could include other places.

Afgaan Skunk (Splif II, Purmerend, €10/1.25g) – Man, first I smoked this at the coffeeshop. I had a little walk around town and started to appreciate the moment. I went back to the hotel to extract Slav and Najwa from their room. They were just up to it. We went back the coffeeshop and Slav smoked s...

AK-47 (De Poort, Enkhuizen, €?/g) – AK-47 does not get me high. I bought some last year at Horizon in Amersfoort and the result was the same. I can't explain it. For me the effect is insignificant.

I believe I picked up the AK at De Poort. It may have been from Utoop in Leeuwarden, however.

One observation on the typical Dutch bike: It uses a fairly unusual inner tube. I picked one up in Utrecht. It's a 28”x1-5/8”x1-3/8”. And what's really special about it is that it has a Woods valve. Most of Europe, I believe, goes with the Presta valve. North America uses Schrader valves on its more...
