Just got back from Amsterdam with 10g of hash. Went there after the LSD confrence in Basel. Wanted to see how A'dam functioned with legal pot & prostitution. It functioned very well but I didn't function very well in the freezing cold (the temprature has been in the 70's here in Arizona).

I was usually the only single girl in the smoke shops and very few men brought their girlfriends there. My favorite smokeshop was De Dampkring, where they also sold beer and vodka, had a nice house cat and good music but not enough room to dance. No one bothered me. The bartenders were local girls. Only one of them spoke English. Nearly everyone else spoke Dutch. I did not like associating with the occasional people from New York who were probably there in Amsterdam to buy seeds.

They sold about five kinds of mushrooms. Since it was my first time I started with what they said was a mild trip. They sell the FRESH shrooms in plastic containers for about 13 euros for 35 grams. Except the strongest shrooms from Hawaii were 15 euros and you only got about 15 grams.

So I ate half of the Thai mushrooms on an empty stomach.

All I ate the whole 15 daze I was there was the b'fast served in the Hotel, which consisted of a bowl of corn flakes, orange juice and two kinds of flat bread: one like a cracker, the other a heavy wheat, with four slices of gouda? cheese folded. Lost about 8 pounds. I didn't feel like eating the whole time anyway. Brought very good vitamins.

After consuming half the shrooms I walked around for a while waiting for the effect to kick in. I can't remember how I felt. All I remember is after about two hours and maybe sitting in one of the smokeshops for a little while, I went back to the Hotel, ate the rest of the shrooms and went to bed at about 21:00.I never adjusted to the time change. Never partied past 22:00 because I did not know where to go. When I did find out where to go, It was too far away and cold!

Missed a trance party lasting to 7:00 at the Heinikin (spelling) Music Hall and Deep Purple playing the same venue. Both cost about $50 euros each.

At the Hotel, in bed I started laughing and understood, perhaps why the Thai people are known for their smiles.

A few nights later I ate some Columbian mushrooms and a few nights later ate some Mexican mushrooms. I don't remember which one it was but did the same thing: went back to the Hotel and got into bed but this time I cried and cried and cried! Had kind of a bad day and the Hotel receptionist insulted me. I cried for about two hours. When I looked into the mirror I looked terrible. Another reason I cried was the window whores were so pretty. I was thousands of miles from home and all alone with no one to talk to!

After that cry, the next day I felt purged. Maybe now I understand more about the culture of the aztecs and their human sacrifices they ate mushrooms didn't they?

How's the hash? Break off a small piece and I'm in never-never land: like I lost my mind. The smoke shop had about 20 different varities of hash most of which comes from Morrocco. They only had one from Afghanistan but had two that were made in Amsterdam from +++ pot and cost like 30 euros a gram! The hash and pot I bought cost 10 euros/gram.
 
^ really that's insulting.

The reason I went by myself is I have no rich, healthy friends and I'm a loner: all I need is ONE close friend to confess to and she's very unhealthy and five years older than I. Sometimes I only leave the house to run four miles or dance at a club.

At the LSD confrence I was offered LSD twice (from the same person) but the set & setting was not right: either it was too late or the venue sucked. (One of the venues was on top of the tallest building in Basel where they had a club with expensive drinks and no one dancing!

There was only one good party place in Basel: Das Ship (spelling), that I went to. (Had to take a trolly and pay about 35 Franks to get in. Had to take cab home 'cause trollies stopped.) Not many single girls (or girls with their friends) there either. But I did manage to find some pretty dancing partners. (I like to dance rather than meet guys when I go out.)

Nice name, Toltec, I have land in a subdivision called Toltec near Eloy, Arizona.

The main problem with the LSD is the big manufacturers are all getting busted. LSD is a miracle drug which would enlighten people to examine the way we live and consume, which would be the end of capitalism, money and international boundarylines.

On the last night of the confrence they had two pretty good bands playing. One band, like I never saw before had about 15 gongs, some as large as 2 meters! They also has a gunnysack of about 50 stainless steel dishes, cups and pans, which were dropped on the floor and hit with drumsticks.

There were about 2500 people at the convention. The main auditorium was full. Half the attendees were over 50 years old and not ageing hippies either. Many were doctors and psychiarists.
 
Wow, thanks for sharing that.

Isn't this the truth, I feel LSD has been a wonderful tool in my life, many other folks I've known say the same.

Toltec is a name I picked form the Toltec books by Don Miguel Ruiz.
I believe our words essentially, does lead us through this agreement we call life.

Arizonan is a really interesting place to live. I love the mountains here.
Cheers
 
That's too bad you had to deal with all of that alone... The trip- and the Trip. I'm sure when you were in tears a good comforting soul could have made things much better.

So did you try to take some pictures of the prostitutes?

It was too dangerous and impolite to take their photos. If you want to know what they looked like, go to a strip club. I'm sure 90% of the girls there worked in clubs before.

However, there were some BIG-busted, overweight African (Morocco?) women there who were probably 40 years old, who hustled the guys walking by knocking on the windows and calling to them. A few of them even called to me. I was thinking: the next time one of them calls me I'd go over there and I'd share the next guy with them (they could keep the $$$) but it never happened.

I got up early one morning before the sun came out and took a picture (without the flash) of one of the Kamer's (rooms -- the photo came out very well) and a gruff, burly man speaking in a heavy accent told me not to take pictures (without a flash). I scornfully told him, "There's no one in there!"

It made me stronger figuring it out myself. Good thing I didn't call anyone on the phone either.

Another funny story: While I was walking aimlessly through the RLD a short, once-cute 35 year old, crack-addicted street hustler asked what I was looking for. I told her, "LSD." She said she knew where to find some. I asked her to explain exactly where we were going and how the deal would go down. I told her I must try a piece first.

On our way to the place (we had to take a trolly and walk a few blocks) I started crying (this was before I took the shrooms) and I said something like, "those window girls sure are pretty." Which kind of freaked her out that I was crying. She sarcastically asked if I wanted her to hold my hand or anything. I said, "No." and got over it.

She told me she used to work the windows. Unfortunately I never got to ask her any questions about work permits and anything. (Non EU workers must have permits for legitimate work.)

So we get to the designated place and it was closed. She knocks on the door, the person inside tells her no one's there. She darts by him and runs downstairs. I asked him if there was another way out, he said, "no." When she comes back, I demand she gives me the $$$ back. I did not find out until after I got back to the Hotel that she gave me back only one of the bills, which we folded up and stuck in her cigarete package.

At first I was mad but then and now I laugh about it. She really earned the $$$. I even gave her a 10 euro tip for her trouble. I told her, I felt sorry for her ending up like this in such a horrible place (at that time I was not confortable in A'dam) and that she needed the $$$ more than I do. Not only that. She told me a few days previous she got into a fight and was raped by one of the many African hustlers.

I spoke to several persons in the smoke shops and they said they have not seen any LSD for many years. Lots of E and coke though. However, one person tokd me to go to a cafe, where I might find some but I never went.
 
Pff those dealers.. Don't trust them. Even if they give the impression they're pathetic and need the money, which they probably do. They're still only after your money.

LSD is everywhere but not for everyone, you need to go to psychedelic parties or know to the right persons IME.

My friend went on a citytrip to the Dam, too. He stayed in a hotel, where he took 30grams of mexican shrooms and freaked the hell out. He got a little paranoid thinking/hallucinating everyone in his hotel was part of a mafia gang trying to steal his drugs. lol :)

The thought of tripping alone is kind of scary to me. It's not that I need anyone to guide me/comfort me when it's getting a little rough, it's just you never know what you're up to. Especially with shrooms - the potency is so variable, you could have a twice as strong strip from the same amount of mushrooms. If you just happen to decide to take an extra half dose, that's 3times as strong as you're used to.
Tripreports of people running around naked or jerking off in a corner come to my mind.
 
haha, thats amsterdamn for you. I wish it was in a bit more detail but otherwise i loved the report!
