Mushroom Shopping

Going to Amsterdam tomorrow to pick up some mushrooms. I've been trying to decide what to get. I want to hear your thoughts and input please! 
I've already tried Mexican and Golden Teacher, both were great and both very different.
Mexican - mellow, dreamy, mild overall-effect Thai - intense, happy and more colors Truffles - energetic and euphoric, good for parties Colombian - nice visuals, stoned body-feeling Wavy Caps - filled with laughter, spins your head Ecuadorian - strong, colorful and happy Mckennaii - colorfully-psychedelic, heavy body high Golden Teacher - a lot of colors, universal awareness, euphorically happy Hawaiian - very strong, visual blow-your-mind-trip, nothing for a club-night

From your descriptions, I vote for the Hawaiians. Then head to a nice jukebox pub. Maybe a not so crowded one. Do they have places like that in AD?

Oh yeah, there are lots of nice pubs but for me nature is the way to go. I'll probably go and explore a nearby park or just walk around. Drunken idiots are not my idea of a good trip. :P

i wouldn't recommend what i haven't tried, otherwise i might have chosen hawaiian according to your description.
i know there's alot of argument about if different strains of shrooms carry different effect, and how big a difference it is compared to set and setting.
that being said i'D recommend truffles. everytime i've had them i've gotten some amazing tracers after hitting the peak, and the peak was amazingly intense. thought loops and at times of it, just sheer utter confusion. visuals all very wavy, like trying to roll a joint was difficult because of the extreme morphing of the joint, had to look away to roll it.
Plus the taste is pretty neutral. bit of a bitter after taste, but alot better tasting than most 'shrooms.

Hate to break it to you, but about a month ago there when I went there were signs everywhere in coffee shops and such saying "dont ask for mushrooms"
There was only one shop I could find to have any. Things might have calmed down now, but over the past couple of months theres been a lot of trouble with mushrooms and tourists.
Good luck and I hope im wrong

Yeah I haven't seen anything on this. I bought some two weeks ago no sweat. Fuck the tourists, haha, I live here.
Thanks for the input guys.

I haven't been to AD yet, but from what i heard i thought you had to go to those smart shops to get 'shrooms? If i owned a coffee shop and was selling weed at it, i'd get a bit frustrated that customers would come to me asking me for mushrooms all the time when my business is weed.
of course i could be wrong, just me hoping really, going there soon and would be easier buying a trip than cooking up the mix and having to wait =)

Yeah you are totally right.
Also, coffee shops are not allowed to sell alcohol anymore. There a few pubs though that let you smoke and drink. But it is now against the law to sell both in the same place.

^^ whats your opinion on that new law? I think it sounds like a good idea that may prevent people from getting too messed up.

Well believe it or not, I don't smoke weed. So I don't care either which way. I do drink my ass off though and when someone is next to me smoking weed it doesn't bother me at all. I used to smoke for years.
Usually its the tourists who fuck it up for everyone else. There really aren't any dutch people in Amsterdam. ^_^
