Hi there steemians! I visited Amsterdam two years ago and on my journey I visited many different coffee shops. I thought it would be like a regular café but believe me guys, it's not. The difference was that the cafe was filled with a sweet smoke and everyone sat and smoked a joint, and the air was so filled with good vibes i almost fell off my chair. I'm going to share three of the best coffee shops I visited , I'm starting out with the best one. Unfortunately I have not my own pictures, I'm going to be honest. I was so stoned all the time so I didn't think about taking pictures, lol.
CLUB MEDIA
Club media was the third coffee shop i visited and i think it was the most classy one. The staff where very nice and helpful. I asked if they could recommend any special weed. She said they had grown their own strain that they named Champagne Haze so I bought a joint of that one. I also ordered a toast and juice, I was so excited when i was about to smoke the perfect joint with the delicious name, it was one of the most expensive weed-strains also so I thought it would be really good. And it was! It was a really potent weed, it was sativa dominant so I didn't get very tired and I've got really stoned. It was absolutely wonderful to just sit there and smoke while I ate my toast, talked to my boyfriend, listened to music and watched everyone else who was sooo stoned. I highly recommend this coffee shop. Worth mentioning is that they were the only ones who let me borrow a bong. In other coffee shops, I had to buy one.
DE MOOISTE
This coffee shop was the first one I visited in my life. I was so nervous cause I didn't know what to expect. It felt so strange to go into like a bar but instead of drinking alcohol they smoke pot. When we came inside my first impression was that it looked cozy, it was low ceilings and there were light loops everywhere. I noticed all people looked curiously at us, like they wondering who we are. It seemed like it's a place with only local living, they were not so used with tourists I think. The first thing I noticed when we sat down at a table were two ladies around the age of 60 who smoked a joint and drank a tea. I have never seen such an old human smoke, here in Sweden it is very rare. It was fun to see tough! When we had sit down for about 10 minutes two Jamaican guys come and sat with us. They offered a White Widow joint they had bought at the coffee shop. I didn't smoked much from it cause I've got sooo high! I have never been so stoned. It's definitely the best weed I have ever tried. I liked that coffee shop a lot, it was super cozy, it was like a hobbit house, lol.
RED LIGHT BAR
One day we was at red light district as you probably heard about before. It was a extraordinary experience to be there, you don't see a lot of different girls standing in windows with just underwear's and red colored lights bathing over them everyday. Anyway, we visited a coffee shop named red light bar and i think it was a pretty cozy place. They had a weed called Sour Apple and Blueberry Kush, it sounded so tasty so we bought a joint of each kind. You could go upstairs so we went there. We sat right beside some big windows so we could look out over the red light district, very nice. Their weed was awesome, the weed called Sour Apple really tasted like that, it was so yummy and it smelled wonderful.
It was a wonderful experience to be in Amsterdam, we also was at a museum called hash marihuana & hemp museum and it was super cool. Among other things we got to try to smoke from a vaporizer. You would not want to miss checking out the museum!
