  • Doomsan, on 11/20/2008, -1/+4I'm not gonna watch it, it'll make me feel sad :(.
    • Nocturnalsgfx, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1I felt the same but i had to watch it anyway. Now it just makes me angry. US prohibition is so ***** ridiculous!!!
  • hurrayforschool, on 11/20/2008, -1/+4Awesome. I'd heard about them, read about them, and lusted over them, but I'd never seen what they were like.

    Legalize it.
  • Pandakopanda, on 11/20/2008, -1/+6Come to our coffeeshops while you still can. Our government wants to get rid of them and make cannabis illegal again. They already banned the sale of magic mushrooms.
    • choopie911, on 11/20/2008, -3/+1You can buy mushrooms at the Bulldog Energy Coffeeshop. They're right under the glass as soon as you walk in.
    • DutchPierre, on 11/21/2008, -0/+0Come while you still can ?... Yeah sure, but people be careful.
      The ban on magic mushrooms is mainly caused by stupid (mainly European) tourists who couln't handle our liberties.
      So, be welcome to everyone... but don't blow this for us too...

      btw. 43 of the 228 Amsterdam coffeeshops will be closed before 2011 :(
    • OMnicient, on 11/21/2008, -0/+0I was in Amsterdam just last week. You can most definitely still buy magic mushrooms.

      I bought a container of P. tampanensis "philosopher stones" AND some "hawaiian" mushrooms.

      Some of the coffeeshops should be closed. They're ripoffs or bad people.

      I went by one coffeeshop with a turnstile and ID checkers... notice I said "went by", not visited...
  • WSPanic201, on 11/20/2008, -2/+1just think, every view this video gets, the producer gets one mile in air travel.....
  • iamghost, on 11/20/2008, -1/+2i wish this was around when i went to Amsterdam.
  • bashnu, on 11/20/2008, -1/+3Please avoid the Bulldog.
    We would like something better there instead.
    Greetings
    A'dam
  • choopie911, on 11/20/2008, -1/+1I've been there!
  • arkboysooner, on 11/20/2008, -4/+4Went for New Years in '03. People were setting fireworks off all over the city and in my state of mind, I thought they were gun shots every time...
    • imcostalong, on 11/20/2008, -3/+4uhm I love people who act like getting high is like tripping acid... always over-dramatic about it
      • amheidt, on 11/21/2008, -2/+2I wish getting high was like tripping acid...
      • Halsfield, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2i love people who fail to understand that people can have different experiences in life.
      • imcostalong, on 12/09/2008, -0/+1@hatsfield uhh, I love people who fail to understand that a psychotropic drug has a dramatic change in nervous system functions, visual and auditory sensations, and thought patterns. Marijuana may have the ability for you to focus hard enough on your thoughts to "space out" in a "dream-like" state momentarily, but it does not have the ability radically change your perception of reality. If you have ever smoked you would understand that people who PRETEND like they are tripping on weed are inexperienced individuals who, for a lack of a better term, force their stereotyped version of marijuana unto their own behavior. Even though our ability to experience things differently is a valid argument, it is not ACID, and you do not experience reality in a different manner like you would under a psychedelic, it is merely minorly skewed. So to put it plainly... ***** you
    • arkboysooner, on 11/21/2008, -1/+3Uhm, you have no idea what you are talking about.
  • lolmax, on 11/20/2008, -2/+5i dunno about you guys, but i was really hoping to see some hot girls smoking a giant blunt
  • h4sh1sh, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2If I could work anywhere outside of the U.S. that'd be the place.
    • nj10ii, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2Yeah right. 'work'. Not much of that would be getting done if I moved there.
  • decepticrat, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1I know a few people who would love to go have the 'experience.'
  • mesm0rized, on 11/20/2008, -0/+3Incredible Coffeeshop not shown.... Abaraxis.... Off of the beaten path... it has a spiral staircase and it is totally worth the exploration. :) Excellent Coffee.
  • 4nsible, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Dugg for the link to a very cool site, tripfilms.com.
  • Contrapulator, on 11/21/2008, -2/+1He didn't say what substance he was on. They have more than weed in Amsterdam, you know.
  • brycewatana, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Gloria Jean too anyone???
  • Kishoba, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1I just got back from Amsterdam last weekend, and that was a great experience. I tried to go to as many coffee shops as I could, and also took a walking tour of the city which was amazing. The tour guide was extremely friendly and insightful, and it made me respect the city even more. Also, the red light district is a lot of fun, but as I learned if you are going to stay in Amsterdam, get a hostel/hotel outside of the red light district.
  • lebsoljah, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1bunch of dope fiends
