Amsterdam cafes or "coffee
shops," to use the correct term for marijuana cafes, have long been deemed
a ganja smokers paradise.
Cannabis a.k.a. "Marijuana" and hashish or "hash"
are legally for sale in designated coffee shops. These shops have various
other slang terms they go by such as " hash bars," "pot cafes" or "hash
cafes." Sorry they don't give out free samples.
Go To Online Amsterdam Marijuana Cafes
Marijuana can also be obtained at the Amsterdam Medical Marijuana Institute,
however you must pick it up in person at the medical institute where you
can also obtain unbiased marijuana facts and medical information .
The coffee shops are rather extensively regulated by the local Netherlands
governments whereby cannibis can only be purchased from "coffee shops" (shops
that sell of course coffee, food and other unique beverages) however if a
coffee shop chooses to sell cannabis, it is not allowed by law to also sell
alcohol nor are coffee shops allowed to overtly advertise the smoking products
and prices for sale such as you would see in an alcohol or cigarette advertisement.
Nevertheless you won't find many legalization of marijuana rallies or votes
on medicinal " Proposition 215 " equivalents (the California proposition
legalizing marijuana for medical use).
Where can I buy SHROOMS ? Glad you asked. Magic Mushrooms
or " shrooms " although sometimes sold at marijuana cafes, they are mostly
sold at stores called " Smart Shops ." Along with magicmushrooms, a
smart shop typically sells a variety of
mood altering and body sensation herbal pills, but their featured products
are the wide variety of Magic Mushrooms. Smart Shops are likewise regulated
by local governments within Holland. A law was recently passed which
requires that all magic mushrooms be sold fresh, just like mushrooms you would find in
the produce section of the grocery store. It is no longer legal to
sell dried shrooms as was sold in the past.
REFERENCE NOTES:
- cannabis \can-na-bis\ n
: the technical name for marijuana, also used in most Netherlands coffee
shop legal language. Cannibis is used by smoking it in cigarette form or
in a pipe or water pipe, it can be eaten, mixed into other foods such as
in brownies recipes ; other slang terms for marijuana include, chronic
- weed - reefer - ganja - bud - buds - kind bud -joint - dank - doobage
- doobie - dope - grass - green - sticky - herb - L - indica sativa
- pot - spliff - blunt - mary jane - hydro - hydroponic - thai weed
- thai stick - wacky weed - wacky tobaccy - funny cigarettes - Acapulco Gold
- haze - sensimillia - hemp ;
- thc n : an abbreviation of the word tetrahydrocannabinol , the
active chemical in marijuana and hashish "hash" that produces the desired
euphoric effect or , which drug education literature calls "a false sense
of well being." (Insert your own jokes here). Also a synthetic (man made) version of thc is the active ingredient in the pharmaceutical medicine Marinol .
- psilocybin n : mild hallucinogen which is the active chemical in magic mushrooms. ; other terms for magic mushrooms include, shrooms
- psychedelic mushrooms - hallucinogenic mushrooms - cubensis - psilocybe
mushrooms - psilocybin mushrooms - philosophers stones ;
- magic mushrooms n : real
mushroom that contains the natural chemical psilocybin. Magic mushrooms are
a mild hallucinogen. They grow in the wild or can be cultivated. Cultivation
is probably the most common way, unlike marijuana which is grown from seeds,
mushrooms are grown from spores . Spores are like tiny microscopic seeds
which are located under the cap of a mushroom within the gills. Mushroom
spores can be collected by taking the top off of its stem and placing it
on a piece of white paper. After about 45 minutes if you lift up the mushroom
cap you will see a circular pattern on the paper which looks like brown dust,
these are your spores which have fallen from the gills, and the circular
pattern is called the spore print. The effects of magic mushrooms are
less intense than lsd and shorter in duration. Probably a smarter choice
than lsd which is man made much like " X " (ecstacy or ecstasy as its sometimes
spelled). A better choice because you never know exactly what is in the lsd
or X , but you know exactly what is in a magic mushroom, and plus a mushroom
is natural. This obviously assumes that a person is selling you real magic
mushrooms, and not mushrooms he picked out of his yard. But this is
not something you have to worry about if you buy magic mushrooms in a controlled
environment such as an Amsterdam Coffee Shop or Smart Shop. Magic mushrooms
are usually eaten, but may also be smoked which reportedly has a lesser effect
than eating them does. Other terms for magicmushrooms include, shrooms
- psychedelic mushrooms - hallucinogenic mushrooms - cubensis - psilocybe
mushrooms - psilocybin mushrooms - philosophers stones ;
- hashish n : a
handmade (or machine made) product that comes entirely from the marijuana
plant. Usually made from the flower portion of the plant which contains a
high content of the active chemical thc. The flowers contain a sticky residue
or resin which is collected in a variety of different methods typically by
"grating" it or "sifting" it over a fine screen or cloth of sorts. The collected
residue is then pressed into clumps that resemble clay, except darker
and a little more firm. So hashish in theory is the same as marijuana
except purer and with a higher and more concentrated levels of the
active chemical thc. However there are some "boiler room" operations (meaning
not trustworthy) who make their hashish by grinding up the whole marijuana
plant, pressing it together and calling it hashish. This type of hash may
actually have less thc content than just plain marijuana, because it would
contain all of the main stalk and stems and seeds of the plant, and maybe
even the roots and some dirt. Hash comes in many different types and colors
. Similar to marijuana people generally smoke it with a pipe or water pipe,
but you can also eat it and bake it into a brownie. Other terms for hashish are, hash - blonde hash - moroccan hash ;
- bong n : A cylindrical acrylic or glass
water pipe smoking device, which filters out some of the smoke impurities
by the smoke passing through the water before it is inhaled. In western countries
i.e. UK, USA the bong is almost always used to smoke marijuana, however in
Asian and Middle Eastern countries, bongs or hookahs are used as the regular means of smoking tobacco. The most popular brand of bong is Graffix
. When people say " graffix bong " they are not talking about a particular
type of bong , " Graffix " only refers to the brand name. Bongs are usually
sold at " Head Shops ." Head shops are stores where you can buy various kinds
of pipes and other marijuana smoking accessories, or paraphernalia
as it is called, either by mail order or from a store front. Head shops usually
do not sell marijuana growing or cultivation supplies such as grow lights
and lamps or seeds, just smoking accessories like canabis pipes and bongs.
