Coffeeshop Utopia
Thursday, 12 April 2012:
In the afternoon on the day before I was scheduled to fly back to the USA, I attended a pre-planned Toke-and-Talk session at Coffeeshop Utopia located at Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 132, just a few steps away from the local Police station and the Church of Scientology.
The video opens with exterior shots and street scenes from the sidewalk in front of the shop. Entering the bright and cheerful lounge and gallery, I pause to take a look at the house rules as they are posted at the entrance. Since the shop is also an art gallery, you'll see some examples of the art on display and for sale. You'll also get a look at the members of our little group of T&T participants as we enjoy the ambiance.
Moving to the dealer's booth and service counter at the back of the shop you'll get a view of the length of the shop and through the large front window as cars, bikes and trams pass by on the busy Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal. After looking at the menu, the budtender, Ingi, lets me have a good look at some of the better quality products as I am granted unprecedented access to document the shop as it appeared in the spring of 2012. Finally, you'll get to watch as my order is weighed out on digital scales.
