Well, aside from the tobacco-stained walls that give them their name, there's an untranslatable word in Dutch – gezellig – meaning cosy, intimate, relaxed. Beloved of concertgoers and a stone's throw from the museums, you'll realize from the intellectual hubbub that this one is where Holland's literary crowd hangs out. Though you're unlikely to recognize them, it's predictably adorned with portraits of famed clientele ("most of them are dead, anyway," admits the barman). </p> http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/topic/smocking-weed-on-the-streets-in-amsterdam#post-175 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 04:20:06 +0000 jezzicaz789 175@http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/ <p>Hi l!<br /> I've just visited this forum.

What i often find is that tourists visiting Amsterdam only go to the more commercial coffeeshops and therefore getting tourist quality + paying a higher price. I can offer a unique experience that will prickle your taste buds as you get to taste some of the finest Weed/Hash qualities that Amsterdam has to offer.</p> <p>Because we have just started to guide people through our magic city we are still currently working on our website and perfecting our tour. This is why we currently have a reduction in the participation fee.</p> <p>For more information you can contact us at:<br /> <a href="mailto:info@weedtouramsterdam.com">info@weedtouramsterdam.com</a></p> <p>Thank you for your time!

Is it because you are blinkered and have a vested interest in the clincal website you have posted, or just plain ignorant of all the facts, other than the obvious ones you subscribe to? Today the new breed of 'Fascism and Bolshevism' comes in the form of a 'White Coat and Stethoscope' parading itself as a 'good cause' for mankind, doing 'good deeds' along the way! Remember...Ignorance breeds Ignorance! I can think of nothing that makes me want to vomit more than 'disinformation' propergated by such institutions and the financial vested interests of such groups wanting to profit from the lies spread by such methods. What Hypocrites we have all over the world today! Remember 'Prohibition' in America in the last century? Look what a disaster that was for most Americans and the country as a whole...they are still paying the price for it today, almost a hundred years later! So put your 'do goodery' nonsensical advise where it belongs! </p> http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/topic/are-all-drugs-legal-in-amsterdam-or-just-marijuana#post-128 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 18:34:50 +0000 pauline896 128@http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/ <p>I've heard about marijuana being legal in Amsterdam and you can get it everywhere but how about the other drugs?

I researched it a bit and found that the wormwood (the psychoactive ingredient) levels are higher in the Absinthe in Holland than in Canada. A friend of mine and I drank an entire bottle (0.75L) of the stuff in BC, which was 140 proof, and I must say we got a little more giggly than normal for how intoxicated (with alcohol) we were, but there were absolutely no hallucinations. I tried some in Holland at a bar (which was quite expensive -- if I remember correctly it was 10 euro per drink). I had about 3 drinks and again felt a little more than just an alcohol high (a little laughy, and more relaxed than normal) but for the price I could have bought a bottle of liquor and some mushrooms from one of the smartshops and had a much more psychedelic experience. I wouldn't recommend spending too much cash trying to see some pixies flying around by drinking absinthe; if you want to hallucinate and have a nice spiritual experience try some of the mushrooms that are available in smartshops throughout Amsterdam. </p> http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/topic/biggest-coffee-shop-in-amsterdam#post-111 Sat, 23 Feb 2008 19:45:21 +0000 Hazer 111@http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/ <p>I would recommend purchasing some weed at a coffeeshop and then heading with your crew to the Bulldog bar in Leidseplein. There is a Bulldog coffeeshop in the same building (the door on the right -- goes downstairs), but I doubt they will have room for 25. The bar upstairs (and you have to exit the coffeeshop to enter the bar -- keeps the two legally separated so they can sell alcohol in the bar), however, has plenty of room for I would say around 75-100 people. They have great music, two bars, a pool table and a very friendly staff. The only other place in town that I know of where your crew of 25 will all be able to sit comfortably and smoke is La Canna. It is located at Nieuwedijk 121. La Canna is a coffeeshop, and does not sell alcohol any more because of a law that went through early last spring that forbids an establishment from selling both alcohol and marijuana in the same establishment. These are the only two places I know of where you and your 24 buddies will all be able to enjoy a nice smoke together. I hope this helps! </p> http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/topic/smocking-weed-on-the-streets-in-amsterdam#post-110 Sat, 23 Feb 2008 19:15:31 +0000 Hazer 110@http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/ <p>The Bulldog in Leidseplein allows smoking cannabis and hash in the bar area, and the atmosphere there is usually quite upbeat and there seems to always be good music playing. It is one of the few bars I have found in A'dam that allow you to smoke weed. Another is the Rookies, just down the street around the Pancake Corner, however I prefer the environment at the Bulldog. </p> http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/topic/coffeeshops-menus-and-prices#post-109 Sat, 23 Feb 2008 19:08:50 +0000 Hazer 109@http://www.amsterdamsat.com/ask/ <p>The best coffeeshops that I have visited in Amsterdam are: The Bluebird, Grey Area, De Dampkring, Tweede Kamer, GreenHouse Centrum, and the Rookerij. I would recommend the Bluebird or Grey Area for bud quality, and de Dampkring for environment. Hope this helps. </p>
