I used to smoke pot every day for about 7 years. I never once didnt get high.
I guess it just depends on our perception of what being high really means. It would seem that for alot of people it means fucked up and stumbling on your feet and with words. I guess thats how some people roll....

I've been to Amsterdam several times, and I've noticed that the quality and the coffeshop are related. If you go around town and get a common type, like White Widow, for example. Almost every place has it, but not two places sell the same stuff. They look and taste drastically different. The best trick for good pot in Amsterdam is to check out their entire selection that they stash behind the counter, and then chose by how they look and smell. The name of the weed doesn't mean much in Amsterdam, but it doesn't mean a damn thing in America. Around here, it's NEVER "Silver Pearl" or Captain's Dingleberries" or what ever the dealers try to sell it as. I don't care much for names, as much as I care about quality. Just use the name to remember which bag is which, as far as Amsterdam weed goes. Maybe it's just from being here in the states so long, but I've smoked the best pot in my life in Europe, and I'm sure all of it came from Amsterdam. There was this one kind called "Misty" which lookied like a neon nugget rolled in sugar until the green wasn't visible. Seriously, this shit left crystals in the corner of the baggie. It got me stoned as hell but not as "high" as some other types did. You know how they rate it by the "stoned" and the "high"? This shit felt like a 9/7, out of all the pot I've tried. What you should take advantage of in Amsterdam isn't the pot....it's the hash. Where else can you get hash with the consistancy of silly putty and the smell of Christmas?

The DEA released a statement to the effect that weed from British Columbia is "the crack cocaine of marijuana". The stuff you get at home might genuinely be stronger. I'm surprised about Nepalese hash not getting you high, though. All the weed I've ever smoked from Amsterdam blew my mind out. There's definitely a lot of variety between the different coffee shops, though. You might have just been unlucky with the places you chose to go.

I don't mean to spurt diarrhoea on your parade, but the crystals were possibly fiber glass. Dutch gangs have been putting all manner of shit in weed, and that weed is finding its way all over Europe. A lot of the stuff in England now has either fiber glass or sand in it.

Very true. Hash you can just roll a stick of and put in a joint, and that will then melt across your buds/tobacco is wonderful.

That would be fucked up....I believe I bought that particular baggie at either the Bulldog or Rokerej, or who ever you spell it. I avoided the no-name coffeeshops...

Ive had weed that left crystals in the bag many times before the glass stuff. Some coffeeshops rip you off, giving you weak weed for a high price. Making easy money off tourists.
But in general I find the weed here in Amsterdam so strong that I wouldnt mind if it would be a bit weaker even..

If you are on a schedule of getting high at certain times and in certain places your body will react diffrently when put into a novel setting. It's possible that bieng so hyped to be in the dam' produced some excess adreniline that changed the chemistry in your body and hence the experience. That said, I have travelled the world and smoked weed in just about every place that I have been. Nothing I mean Nothing compares to the stuff that's grown right here in the good old USA!!! ya'll just have to find the right grower. The shit they sell to the public is not thier best stuff. If you ever meet a experienced grower ask him for a taste of his special reserve. They normally keep the best shit for themselves. At this point it's like talking about the differences between a Ferrari and a Porsche. They are both great, one's a little nicer, at twice the price lmao!

my friends an average smoker, used to smoking 30's (1/8th oz) american. When he went to Amsterdam and smoked a gram of some good stuff he was so baked he continually kept pushing pull doors and pulling push doors,luahging non stop, he asked a teacher of a (k-9) meaning kindergarten through 9th grade school "where the dogs were at? continually thinking it was a school for k9 dogs, Then perceded to think everyone was in some sort of conspiracy. Honestly I can't think of an explanation for you not getting stoned other than you didn't recognize it as well because you were on vacation, your expectations were possibly way to high. Maybe it's karma paying you back for having such a low tolerance. I can imagine a 1/4 oz lasting about 10 to 15 times total for one person. 150 is an insane amount.

ShroomRunner said: I'm a super lightweight stoner, in terms of the fact that I usually only take 2 or 3 tokes from a pipe, and 1/4 ounce of weed is enough to get me high about 150 times or so
So you say you smoke around 0,047g of weed in your joint/pipe? Thats 47mg and i can´t really imagine that this gets you any high. Even salvia isn´t that strong. Sorry but i don´t think that its really weed that you´re smoking.
I'll vouch for him. I've been smoking for about 2 years, and I tend to get well-known Sativa strains. I can make a gram last about 7 sessions, or .142 grams for each good high. If I have a tolerance that is this low, it is not unrealistic for a person with a high metabolism due to working out constantly to have a much lower tolerance.
Just wondering, OP: Did you do nearly as much physical activity when you were in Amsterdam? I really do think it could be all about your diet/work-out regime. Take some Vitamin B12 next time you're there.

ive heard that coffee shops usually sell weak weed to rip off tourists and keep the best stuff for the locales so id try going around and asking people that actually live there where they get their shit and whats the best

Yeah seriously Amsterdam weed isnt all that. I'm not saying it isn't good, you can find beautiful stuff, but if you smoke dank in Vancouver you smoke dank everywhere. You're not gonna go to Amsterdam, smoke some dank then suddenly keel over. Probably. Cakes on the other hand...
