the space cakes are a rip off!* try an 8 euro gram instead... or some dutch hash - shit... i tried three "space cakes"* and to no avail...* different shops/ types of cakes too...

Well, they're still not a TOTAL loss, I mean, it still tasted pretty damn good!

yeah I would rather throw it in a 2 footer and blow my lungs out, but Voyd is right on the taste

Cheers Joanofarc...

Im all set.

Clemsam and Cali_Girl,

We will be in Amsterdam around the same time too. I s'pose if the party is at the Flying Pig, the Flying Pig it will be! Sounds like an AWESOME time.

yes, the spacecakes - while highly ineffective, were pretty damn tasty - especially the pound cake i had, yum!

anyone know the best way to score acid and other related substances without getting ripped off?

**skidrage** · 03-24-2004, 04:10 PM

If you want a space cake from a shop that will actually work, try one from Blues Brothers. It is located directly across from the Flying Pig Downtown. There were a couple of us that tried a cake from this place and it did the trick. But be careful if you are not used to the effects of Mushrooms or other space cakes.

like cali girl, im not as much of a smoker as i used to be, i was a phat pot head in high school, my roomates friend brought back some weed from amsterdam about a month ago, and for those who know about the sticky goey bud in cali hahaha

, this stuff blew it away, one bowl and i was fried, im totally looking forward to the week in amsterdam, mid june, any1 else be there??

The mushrooms are well worth a try if you like that kind of thing. You can also get them in the UK legaly but i would do them somewhere relaxed if it is a first time and with somone else.

I have to, as a native, defend the Quality of Pacific NW (oregon, washington, bc) grade green. I moved to AZ for a year, the stuff there could almost be mistaken for pine needles, so I definitely appreciate the homegrown up here

But, for those who have tried both, how does off-the-shelf Dutch weed compare to Humboldt County, or Blueberry/BC bud? Is it really that much better? And also, what type of fungi are you looking at in Amst?

**joanofarc** · 05-19-2004, 07:56 AM

it's not that it's better, it's about half the price.

Don't even try to compare or "figure out" Amsterdam...just go there and make your own conclusion.
1) You can't find anything MORE potent on the planet.
2) You really aren't on the planet!!!!

Amsterdam is it's own monster, and completely free from comparison.

"Dude the pacific northwest has the dankest nugs EVER!!!"

Well does the pacific northwest have a place where you can smoke sooooo freely, while navigating canals, listening to a language that sounds like the people are drowning, starring at LEGAL prostitutes in their thongs and bras.......all the while immersed in one of the most beautifully engineered cities in the entire world.......also throw in a few Van Goghs and Heinekens!!!!

There is no way to explain the dope or the city in Amsterdam......it is in a class all by itself........and I HIGHLY recommend it to everybody (smokers/non-smokers).
It isn't another city........it becomes another universe!!!

ps. Making my fourth trip this July!!!

well i dont smoke weed but while in amsterdam i had a blast, all i needed was the heineken. people stay up until the morning though i was there during the summer so i dont know if they party as much in other seasons
