Dreaming of Amsterdam

Alright so im at uni and bored shitless. It got me thinking, maybe Amsterdam would be a cool place to go to for easter with a few friends. Flights are pretty cheap. Has anyone else been to Amsterdam. Is it worth it or overrated?

never been but i'm sure it's worth it.
where do you live now? I live in the states and if I could afford it right now I sure as hell wouldn't be here!!!
 
If you are only going to Amsterdam for the ganja, I'd wait until there is an event. Such as a concert, a rally, The Cannabis Cup or if you're luck 4/20. Although I heard they have a zero-smoke rule now. Just like in Canada, you can't smoke inside restaurants, bars, or pretty much any in-door public place. Which rules out sitting in a cafe and sucking on a nice blunt :cry:

wait..what?? can someone confirm or deny this? I cant smoke a joint in an Amsterdam coffee shop anymore?
 
hmmm, interesting. Looks like the ban applies only to tobacco, yet the Prime Minister says he will enforce it in coffee shops as well. Looks like it will be years of legal battles to settle this one.
 
In 2004 (I think it was '04) the Senate AND House of Commons (2/3 stops to getting a bill passed, last is the Governor General) both investigated the decriminalization of Cannabis. Both The Senate and House of Commons recommended that cannabis would be decriminalized, meaning if I were caught with anything under 15 grams I would be given the equivalent of a parking ticket. But an election was called and The Conservatives won, the bill "died" and chances of Canada becoming even more-so of a pot smoking nation died, too. Infact, the Conservative government actually increased punishment for possession. Hopefully within 2 decades it will be good to go in Canada.
 
You can still smoke in the coffee shops just in the screened areas.
The reality of the matter is that the American government and the French government is putting a lot of pressure on the government in Amsterdam as it isn't to happy about its citizens getting wasted in Amsterdam.
Some smaller places will refuse to serve the French and Americans now.
You Americans seriously need to try to get rid of george bush and dick cheney for the whole worlds sake:blsmoke:
 
I'm the same as you bro. I'm in uni and going to Amsterdam in the Easter. This is my second visit though. We stayed in "The Flying Pig Downtown" which is frikin awesome, works out at about £9 a night including breakfast. its real close to all the coffee shops to. My fav coffee shop there was one called 'Lost In Amsterdam' which plays killer music, has around 5 vaporizers and Shesha pipes aswell. If your deciding on the idea.....do it! Go on BMIbaby.com for flights, £70 return. Good luck man.

agreed, but that's like telling Russia to get rid of Putin or Iraq to get rid of Saddam (not that they need to anymore). We're under the control of a facist dictator... at least for a little while longer.

Bush cant run again, but there is still some nightmarish candidates on the horizon, like Huckabee and Guiliani. Speaking of Ron Paul, i'm not going to bash the guy, but he is an internet phenomenon, meaning a lot of people out there support him just because it's the popular thing to do. Not saying everyone, please dont attack me. I encourage people to take this test. Its a politcal compass that guages your views with other candidates. A few of my friends who took this thought they were real down with Ron Paul, and it turns out he is a bit more right wing than they imagined. Give it a go, tell everyone who you line up with. Mine was Dennis Kucinich.

No, its like telling needybuds to get a clue. It is going to take some intervention.

Yeah man took the test to the best of my ability but to be honest most of those questions are to an English person total crap lmfao.
I didn't even know what half of them even meant.
Apparently im a leftist/rightist libertarian or something like that bwhahahahah:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

Americans tolerate so much crap its unreal:confused:
 
Oh dear, im a left wing authoritarian according to that policial test. So im a mixture between hitler and starlin.
 
I was sittin' a bit right of Gandhi. Then I went back and re-did it trying to be viciously cold hearted and right wing and I was juuuust about as facist as Hitler, and just as right wing.
