In Holland they call White Coffee, Coffee Verkeerd, which means "coffee wrong", or wrong coffee due to the fact that coffee should be black, lol. Funny cloggies.

Yep.

I'm so American I can dress up in regular Dutch clothes, take a seat at a coffee bar, not say a word and I will be greeted with "hello" instead of "hoy hoy".

Maybe it is the way I walk or carry myself.
I drank about one white coffee for every pur spliff I smoked.

I heard The Rookies closed. Loved that bar/coffee shop. It was just like an American bar except they had pool tables, bongs and cheap Northern Lights. It was mostly a locals bar as a lot of the tourists went to the Bulldog, just down the street.

I need to get back there some Summer, maybe visit the relatives this time.

A week would be a long time to hang out in a coffee shop, even for a die hard like me. Don't even know that I'll spend it all there. Might jump away for a day or two and do something else. The cup and coffee shops are kind of a secondary purpose that takes a back seat to other primary purposes, such as meeting good people, eating good food, drinking good drink, and making new friends in distant places.

I hear the Van Gogh museum will be closed for reno's while we're there and a temporary exhibit set up elsewhere.

My worry about legalization like that is this.
Alcohol and cigs are legal for rec use yes, but you are not allowed to produce it yourself.
I will not buy pot from some overpriced vendor doing who knows what to it.....

EDIT
I also worry that with the legalization and possibility of no longer being able to produce it, might be a ploy to crack down on anyone who grows it at all, and make growing a more punishable crime.

You can grow your own tobacco and make your own beer and wine.
Legalizing marijuana will not make for less underground growers, I think the opposite would be true. Oregon is not hurting for underground growers right now.
The amendment in Colorado will allow for growing 6 plants.

In Amsterdam centre a lot of times you will be greeted with a Hello as there are so many tourists. However the Dutch vibe has changed a lot of recent years with more Dutch people kind of insisting on you speaking Dutch. Some authorities and agencies will only speak to you in Dutch as well, where as before English was fairly common practice.

Rookies has closed. They changed the place when the law changed and then they opened up a bar across the road as they gave up their alcohol license. But the 2nd venue was nice and shiney and didn't really take off I think. To be honest I only went there once after the change.

It's like any other place except there are shops where tourists can openly buy weed and hash, and also be able to smoke that openly.
Then like other cities it has history (in fact the whole of Amsterdam canalcentre has been declared a monument). There is also many forms of entertainment to enjoy, some good food if you know a few places and do some investigation, and many cultures.

However, if you go to Amsterdam, hit the first coffeeshop, then another, then another, to eventually become both so stoned you don't feel like you are getting stoned anymore, and so bored because you trudge aimlessly with an urge to do nothing except try and find that ellusive weed that will knock you on your arse and cause you to go into a coma....then when that doesn't happen (because weed doesn't actually do that, lol) people go away with a...Amsterdam not really all that is it? type attitude.

T is exactly right.

Seeing any city 'for something' is going to be a let down. If you come to LA to see famous people, you'll be disappointed. But if you go to soak up the city then you usually can't lose. Among places I've been I thought Amsterdam has about the nicest vibe to it. Very comfortable feeling where everyone seems to be going about their business. I feel very free there as it's so liberal. And it has a nice mix (in my mind) of people. London seems like a city of tourists and foreign nationals, mixed in with people somewhat annoyed they have to deal with the crush of people to get to where they are going. Don't get me wrong, London is dear to me and I plan on spending time there every year. But there is something special about amsterdam.

It's also a must to ride a bike there. It an experience in itself to ride with the rest of the folks around town. Beautiful city too. I mean if those pics don't do it for you, not sure what will. Just being able to hang out at a coffee shop is cool, don't matter which one or how many, but to chill with other smokers from around the world in the open is nice. I've like all the food I've had there, though I haven't gone out much admittedly The airport is nice. The trains are newly refurbished. The central train station is a cool old building that gets nice and drafty. There are killer trams on the street, lots of water everywhere, and you can't look a direction without seeing 10 bikes.

Oh yeah, and walking around the red light district isn't a bad way to spend 30 minutes either.

Amsterdam is a city I highly recommend people visit.

I can't believe you fell in D. Well I can believe it, but still... that's classic.

Man, I hate to throw the conversations off.. but just fired up my Solis-Tek 600 Watt for the first time!!! Wanted to take the time to seal the 'light leaks' in the tent and this was the perfect time!!! Wow, never knew just how hot that baby could get.. though I will probably be running a booster fan into the tent with some cold air or get a mini AC. pics of the set up:

oh, the set up is probably about 90% done. Still have the filter to attach and standing tower fan to put in... light was almost 3 feet from the temp gauge.

This is a thread on 600 set ups on a site about pot. It is us that are off topic. Except when we're talking about going to the Cannabis Cup I guess, either way, it's just what goes on here. Nice set up. Bet your picturing it full in your sleep, aren't you? lol
