Coffeeshop Hopping by Melodee50
Amsterdam is small and easy to get around in; walking is a pleasure so its easy to see lots of it in a small amount of time. Its easy to get to know Amsterdam in a couple of weeks. Coffeeshops are so plentiful that going from one coffeeshop to another throughout the day allows you to keep an nice, even high while enjoying the shops, architecture, etc. Just as you feel your buzz begin to subside you can duck into the nearest coffeeshop, order a cup of something refreshing and take a few puffs of you favorite pot or hash.Abraxas, Homegrown Fantasy, El Guapo are very nice. Some of the best hash I've ever smoked, and that's saying something, was at a coffeeshop you never see on any website. Its just outside the Leidseplein, around the corner from the Bull Dog with a big, squiggly arrow pointing down. That's the place. Walk down the stairs and you will find alcohol, pot, hash, pool tables and people to talk to. Love it.The thing I love about Amsterdam is that you meet people from all over the world, who are all in a friendly state of mind. Sitting in almost any coffeeshop you will meet someone from another country, or state if you're from the US, and be able to strike up a very interesting conversation.
