Just a quick note to see if any Madjackers happen to be from here and /or are here the next several days. Just came over with Angela to Paris for 3 days then boarded a train this morning to Amsterdam. I had yet to travel by train in Europe and had no idea how fast their trains went. 300km/hour (186 MPH) was just nuts! Anyhow, sent a few pics from Paris to Joker and Jack if they care to post, I still am not worthy to do from my work iphone. I know, I suck. Will send more from here in Amsterdam, and if anyone lives here we are at the INK Hotel Sofitel in City Center. Here until Wednesday. Drank some good wine in Paris and ate some incredible French food, hawkeye. Hope you all enjoy your Sunday watching football. It was weird yesterday being a Saturday and not watching College ball, nor knowing any scores.

OK, that's just a shoe store. But you are very close! Go south on Leidsestraat, across the canal, and it's only a three minute walk to the Bulldog!

Jack, thank you for posting. Had to send the one with the girl rolling her own with the camel toe Vinnie had to see. Angela got that picture. The seafood place had the best calamari that was so lightly breaded and fish chunks of cod. Delicious as a snack while walking. Yes, brownies have been fun and relaxing, but makes the days fly by. The Bulldog was a great place, we had already had our "dessert" by then, but the beer has been great. Ate at Restaurant Johannes and if you have the chance, eat there, get the 6 course chef dinner, with 6 wine pairings by the chef, and thank me later. An incredible gastronomic experience. The 75 minute open, small boat canal tour was awesome as well. A must do. Have many more pics, will figure how to post a few, just did not want to inundate Jack. Again, Jack, thanks. Headed to Lt. Cornelis for dinner after taking a 60 minute siesta and re-energize. It has been a fun 3 nights here, headed home tomorrow.

We just did the consumables which were 8-10 euros each and last several days if interested. :SIB

Wineguy, I assume you're talking baked goods, chocolate products, or some other kind of edible. Just curious about the information, if any, on the packaging. Do they provide a content level--in milligrams or otherwise--for THC, for example.

I'm wondering for a couple of related reasons. For one, I recently a heard a podcast out of Portland that was talking about some dispensaries including details for THC, CBD and also terpene constituents. I still haven't seen great evidence for the role that terpenes plays in the overall effect but that's another matter; not doubting it, just a little confused, maybe. Secondly, my home's gov't mules are allegedly going to step back in the box--at 0-1--and attempt legalization in 8 days (Oct.17th (I'll believe it when I see it)()).

More liberal, there, no doubt. They still must have some regulations or otherwise analyze their products for there quality.

Hope you don't mind the Q.
If there was no info, then such would be info in itself.

Just got home a couple hours ago. Will sleep like a baby tonight.

I am sorry that I did not research it with that much thought. All we were told at the "coffee shops" was something was a "happy high, mellow", or a "happy high intense", or something way more strong than either in various forms and descriptions. I was not interested in any of that. Mellow and happy was just as advertised though which was fun as heck. Angela was able to get the 3% CBD oil home in luggage that is great for arthritic knuckles and other things that ail you. That was not a problem at all, surprisingly. Sorry I can't be much more help than that.

... Sorry I can't be much more help than that.

Hey, I appreciate the response just the same. I've always had the desire to hit Amsterdam, sometime, for a little longer than I've had the desire to hit an MJ Superbowl party (say, 15-16 years on that one, and forgive me for noticing that the "MJ" tag is ironically the folder name I same all my links to--eg. faves--regarding the herb stuff).

More legitimately, I ask as I've been partaking for app.33 years, now, and I'd swear by its efficacy for myself and several others of similar age (50, here, since May). I have a couple of close friends who are dukin' it out with the gov, but that's not really my thing. I'm more concerned with the psychosomatic effects (if you will), i.e. what differing enjoyment gradients can be found by whatever combination of whatever metric 'they' come up with (thc, cbd, terpenes, the moons of Saturn, etc) to determine mine and, maybe, others potential experiences.

The medicinal aspect seems to be very much in vogue and while I shouldn't neglect the same, especially for seizure and maybe tumor control, my appreciation has always been more to the side of the psychological benefits, maybe against torments such as depression and anxiety, which I admit further suggests potential clinical applications.

While a longtime user, its only in the past few years that I've been trying to make sense of the strain distinguisings (despite longtime belief in the sativa/indica distinction, right or wrong) and I've only recently come across the terpene advocations. With my currently improved options--possibly to grow exponentially in a week or so--I have been trying to make sense of what may be right for myself. I imagine that sounds weird coming from a smoker of more than 30 years, but what can I say? Meditation doesn't work for me but give some decent herb and some killer tunes I believe I can acquire whatever nirvana-like state that, say, Sam Harris claims that he can achieve through meditation.

I probably shoulda stopped a couple of sentences ago, as the last makes me tempted to rage on against the gnostic claims of certain meditative practices (please rebut, if preferred) but I've probably said too much...haven't said enough.

Forgive.
Things are weird in my life, right now. (perpetually?)

I appreciate the response.

Looks like a fun visit. Love Amsterdam. Will be passing through the airport on the 21st on my way to Tanzania. Seeing these pics makes me wish we were stopping for a day or two.

Wine--I am jealous--bet you had some good Bordeaux's:0069

It's funny hawk, because I actually drank a lot of really great white burgandy from 2014 and 2015. Just because they are so overpriced in the states, and so affordable their by 1/2 to 1/3rd the price here, and I love the chardonnay grape with their different soils to compare against California Chards. Weather was so nice and sitting outside in the sun at the many corner cafes just screamed white wine to us. And of course the local beers as well.
