It's definitely a problem of mindset and approach. You were in Amsterdam! You can't just smoke a few large bowls here and there. If I were to go to Amsterdam (or rather, when I do), I'd first buy 1g each of 5 kinds of weed and 3 kinds of hash, grind it all together and roll it into a fat fat blunt, then wait until i'd smoked that baby down to figure out what to do next.

That's what I did.

RAH RAH RAH
"BC-BUD" RAH RAH "AMSTERDAM" RAH RAH.
...Time... for scientific interjection.
Vancouver and Holland (Amsterdam) are both at a higher latitude than Northern California.
Climatically, Northern California is more ideal than both Holland and British Columbia, for marijuana cultivation.
Both indica and sativa (especially) will grow 'easier' here.
When will Northern California get its recognition? I honestly believe Northern California is one of the best locations to grow hybrid strains.
Northern California is pretty much the same concept as British Columbia, except for it is warmer (desirable) and 'lighter,' (more sunlight) for longer periods of time. ON average I'd say it is probably less humid as well. I think the mediterrenean climate with a dash of pacific northwest influence creates an ideal location for marijuana (except for equatorial long-season subtropical sativas.)

Northern California and Oregon are probably about the best ganja-growing climates, but British Columbia (and Washington) are close. Holland is probably a little bit too cool to be all that great, but I think top-quality stuff can be turned out nearly anywhere.

It doesn't matter where it's from. Sure, certain places are more likely to have better bud ( less risk more growers) but I've had BC bud, and I've had better grown here in Ontario... Best bud I've ever had was grown somewhere around Columbia

I bet it has something to do you with you tripping possibley. After tripping shrooms me and my friends find that we just don't get that high for the next 2-4 days after a trip. Before the trip we get ripped off our asses, but after the trip, we smoke the same bud and don't feel a thing besides a little head buzz.

To reply to many of you and give more details.
I was under the impression that maybe at home all I smoke was indica and over there it was mostly sativa? Since I was read that sativa was more mellow.
As I said, when I get stoned, it's usually an energizing, hyper effect. I throw on my headphones and go for a 2 hour run or play tennis (if you're a really good player, playing stoned makes the rally and spin patterns so much more fun).
For me, 2 or 3 small tokes double inhaled (or whatever the term is) and held in for 5-10 seconds gives this effect.
If I'm going to a movie in the cinema, and want to just be slammed in the back of the seat with my eyes wide open in awe then 4-6 hits will do that nicely. After the movie I will be hopping around full of energy.
It's always been very different for me that the typical "stoned" effect that is stereotypical of pot smokers.
In Amsterdam, smoking the regular amounts never amounted to anything really, so eventually it got to the point where we would smoke 2 or 3 small bowls, then smoke a full pure joint and drink a space shake at a coffeeshop, then head out of the door and never seem to feel any effect, except that I'd feel tired and want to take a nap and not really feel like doing anything.
The 7 mushroom trips were spread out more. We tripped in escalating doses our first 3 days there (3,4,5) then tripped a bit later (12) and (14), then again on the 20th and again on the 26th. And every trip was amazing.

Sativa would be the one getting you all energized.

He speaks the truth. I lived in Holland for a year and visited Amsterdam many times.
The only true exception in my experience is the smart shops. I've always found that the assistants in smart shops are brutally honest with me, even if it means that I will spend less or even not buy something that I would otherwise.

Weed in tourist Amsterdam(yes, there is more Amsterdam than the place where you can't speak dutch in coffeeshops) is expensive, but the weed is good and even if you got some low-potent weed it should still get you stoned if you take twice the amount you would normally smoke.
Vancouver weed could be more potent, but not that much more potent. The 7 mushroom trips could have something to do with it, but I really don't know.

Almost all dutch (commercial)weed is grown indoors so the climate is no problem.

White widow is indica dominant, I think you said you smoked some white widow. Maybe you smoke pure sativas at home, you won't easily find a pure sativa in Amsterdam.

Well one or two days after I take shrooms the weed has almost no effect on me.

Have you ever tripped in Vancouver and then tried to smoke weed a day or two afterwards? Did you have the same not high effects?

Nah, I always get the good effect from the weed, although I usually prefer not to smoke during a trip or comedown. Although every once in a while a good sized bowl during the comedown can put me in some crazy world of synesthesia and mangled creative thoughts.

I know that when Im on vacation I can smoke far more weed. I feel somewhat desensitized by the new surroundings if anything. Then again even if I was smoking "mids"(purple weed in mexico or something) I still get quite high after a few bowls or a few fat tokes for that matter.
I get high off of indicas and sativas in a very similare way. When it comes to weed grown in northern cali(medical mj grown by the pros. legally) I prefer indicas. They do claim to have just about the best buds in the world, and thats not counting the fact that some of these growers seek out the microclimates that are so prevalent in Northern Cali.
Amsterdam has good weed, and great weed.
I dont see the point to this thread besides to complain about good weed. On average, amsterdam's weed might not be as good as the outdoor weed in cali or in some parts of the pacific northwest, but you would have to be an idiot to be disappointed about that fact when in Amsterdam. If you are that disappointed about the buds to the point where it actually surprized/bothers you(disappointed about good hardy buds(while shrooming)) then just buy some hash. If you dont like their good hash, then you can just point your finger up your ass.

You sound like my kind of stoner. I sit on a quarter for months at a time and it does me just fine. And I like to get up and do stuff-- very creative, energetic etc.
The unhealthy feeling, if you're used to smoking sativas (which it sounds like you are, also by consensus), could be coming from some of the indicas you ran across, combined with the effect of having smoked a lot more than you're used to. I don't know how long you've been smoking, if you've always done it the way you described, but to have a lot of indica (or even sativa for that matter) when you're not familiar with it will make it seem foreign. Maybe to the point where the unfamiliar effects distract you from the rest of the experience. Too bad its so hard to do over again!
Maybe get yourself some material different from what you usually have, and smoke an equivalent amount and compare the effects. Run a test! Duplicate results! Science!
