Hi all,
Doing a pretty good job this week of sampling EVERYTHING Amsterdam has to offer, both on and off the cup tour and loving it. So far we have visited probably 20 coffee shops and tried 1 or 2 of each of their strains, don't worry we are keeping tabs and I will post our dozens of smoke reports later as well as info about the different shops themselves.
Firstly though let me mention the dutch flowers incident! We were visiting the much renowned Dutch Flowers coffeeshop after a long day of smoking shitloads of weed and it was a place I had been looking forward to seeing for weeks. The guy behind the counter didn't seem overly friendly from the beginning but we quietly perused the weed menu and my friend made a purchase.
Despite not really feeling the vibe, it was a nice place so we grabbed some papers and decided to stop for a spliff. I was a bit baked already and couldn't see it on the menu so I asked the guy if he sold coka cola and mimed the drink motion subconsciously as it was crowded and a little loud.
He proceeded to get his knickers in a twist and called me rude, then asked me how many, stunned I said "two please" and he brought them over ranting about how he "does speak english" (a fact I was aware of and gratefull for) and that I was rude to him. I said "I thought I was plenty polite, Im sorry" to which he replied, "you don't need to be sorry" well then whats the problem?
All up he just seemed to be a pissed off douche who didn't like foreigners and harshed my whole day. Buddy if you read this I'm still sorry for offending you on the day but not if this offends you. You are in he wrong job if you can't deal with stoners or tourists and I have managed to interact with hundreds of Dutch people since being here without offending them so unbunch your panties, get off your high horse and come have a spliff with me, I'll be at the Rokerij where the people are cool and the vibe is mellow!
