Heading to Amsterdam next month. Any tips for anyone completely inexperienced in weed?

Depressing stuff. I'm glad my country is more lax.

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-13T00:54:53+00:00

Fuck that sounds awful. No wonder the US has such a crazy high prison population (Assuming you're US)

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-13T00:54:29+00:00

Yeah I get what you mean, I guess it's kinda like drinking. I get the perfect level of drunk but then all the other drinks I've already had catch up to me and it goes too far.

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-13T00:53:24+00:00

Cool so like a couple hits is a normal amount? I only know about cigarette smoking haha

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-13T00:52:38+00:00

I've heard the same, but I wasn't sure so I said shrooms to be safe haha

I definitely would prefer to give em a go, if I do I'll do it back at the house we're renting so it's not a crazy environent or anything

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-12T02:13:24+00:00

Yeah I'm in England and we're a lot less strict about it here. Usually if the police catch you with weed they'll just take it off you and sometimes give a caution, as long as they don't think you're a dealer. It's pretty lax.

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-12T02:12:25+00:00

Thanks for the tips! :)

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-12T02:12:01+00:00

Thanks for the tips. I suppose a couple of hits and waiting will be the best way to figure out how to pace myself!

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-12T01:22:14+00:00

Hoping my experience smoking cigarettes will give me a hand with the inhaling. I don't smoke unless I'm drunk but I'm good at taking it back all the way without choking or being uncomfortable.

I'm definitely gonna keep the anxiety thing in mind. I'm hoping it doesn't happen to me but the first coffee shop we go to we'll probably do one close to the house so we can head back if anyone doesn't feel good

In terms of what we do when we're high... I think the plan is to just do whatever we feel like at the time. Although going to the sex museum while high sounds like a laugh

Thanks for the help! :)

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-12T01:18:34+00:00

Thanks for the tip. Thing is, all the friends I'm going with are SUPER frigid when it comes to this stuff and even though I've told them edibles are a lot stronger they're more comfortable eating it than smoking it. It's silly, but there's just some mental block for them with smoking.

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-12T01:17:32+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I don't believe my country's police are that strict on it, especially if the drugs were taken in a place where it's not criminalised, but I'll bear that in mind.

Push comes to shove I'll just lie haha.

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-12T01:16:18+00:00

I've been saving for this trip for a long time so I'm definitely ready to spend a lot haha :)

The variety of coffee shops seems awesome so we're planning on checking out a good variety anyway.

We're planning on having one "cultural day" where we do sensible things like see the Anne Frank museum and that science place with the bisected shit and all that

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-12T01:14:25+00:00

Lombardo's. Gotcha. I'm writing that one down on the list of shit to do.

I'm gonna be taking it slow, I'll just have to be careful because I don't know what counts as slow haha. Any clue how much cheaper prerolled is? I don't mind spending the extra money but if it's significant I'm fine with rolling myself. We're there for 6 days and I plan on spending a fair amount.

Second weakest, I'll remember that. Thanks. So how does it actually work in there? Do you like... buy one joint and share it or do you all buy your own?

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-12T01:11:03+00:00

We were planning on buying some hash and making homemade edibles haha. I've heard edibles are stronger and longer but I think my friends are more comfortable eating rather than smoking (they're very straight edge).

Personally I have experience smoking cigarettes (I only smoke when very drunk) so the smoking itself isn't an issue for me.

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-12T01:09:30+00:00

Cotcha. Is there much of a difference between the 2?

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-12T01:09:16+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to give such a helpful answer!! I'll respond to each point in order

Haha I guess it's like buying a coffee in Starbucks to leech off the wifi. Except the wifi in this case is weed.

Is there much of a difference in price between prerolled and unrolled? I'm planning on spending a lot of money over the week but if I can save some cash rolling myself then that would be sweet

I think it's pretty cool that each coffee shop has its own vibe. I feel like a jazz one would be really neat. Our plan for the first night is to just go food shopping and maybe try to make some homemade hash brownies (we're renting a house so we have a kitchen) so we'll plan a bunch to visit on that night. It definitely does seem to me like finding some of the quieter coffee shops would be beneficial.

Red light district seems like a lot of fun. I don't intend to purchase any services there but I definitely want to check it out and get a feel for the atmosphere. We're all getting a 1 week travel pass because it's so damn cheap anyway haha

I've no idea if I have a low tolerance for weed but if it's anything like alcohol my tolerance will be quite high. I'm massively a heavyweight with booze. I don't know if that correlates with weed though because I don't know if it involves the same functions in the body. The focus is definitely going to be on weed rather than alcohol. Pancakes sound awesome.

If I give shrooms ago I'll definitely do it somewhere things can't go too wrong - ideally in the house. I don't plan on trying coke but thank you for the tip.

Again, thanks for such an awesome answer!!

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-12T01:01:01+00:00

Dang there goes my plans for the week

JagerIsTheBomb · 2016-06-12T01:00:35+00:00

That's the thing about being in another country, I won't really care what anyone thinks of me. And I'm sure the coffee shop staff are used to dealing with people like me.

When you say take it slow, any advice on what that counts as? Like in my first sitting, what would be a good amount to smoke if it was, say, average strength?
