Arcticsun's Stashshots And Smokereports.

[ruutzman]

Hah sounds like sum pretty tuff milk Nice to hear it worked out well, you're right about the 'green' stuff, wich there wasn't any, but I mean thats good. That oily substance doesn't taste bad, like you said a little hasly, and chocolate ofcourse:smile: I can remember times when we tried make cocoa simply out of nugs and when it was finished we realised that we didn't even have any kind of filter to sieve of the weed... And weed that has been stewing in milk for couple hours doesn't taste so good, at first maybe but not on the long shot, nasty green goo, a rookie mistake I admit :smile:

Ive also never really got myself succesfully HIGH, as they say, when it comes digesting thc.. Only that bodystone kind of effect what you described. It might have been that the strains were mostly indica type and maybe, just maybe about the amount. But in my own opinion I tried amounts that should have been 'enough'...

Anyhow, this gave me a lot of ideas, using kieff could be better! Absolutely subberb work mate! And what comes to wake n bake strain, I think you need to lean towards to a strain that has little bit more sativa in it than those heavydutyindicas

 

[perakko]

yep, most commercial strains have a hefty part of indica in them, and digesting weed surely brings the stone on hard! with some pure sativas i'm sure the effects would be more up. also keep in mind there are other herbs/edibles that can give you some pep. my buddy recommended to me using some fine colanut and guaranapowder on my cannabrownies so they woudn't have so devastating couchlock. i'm gonna try it later when i've got enough of plant material to make sum butter again. i've done few lethal batches of cannabutter. one time me and 2 buddys took 2 each and lost like 7 hours of time we were zoning on some walker texas ranger dvds for hours and only times i could catch on to something was when there was a fight scene! the conversations between me and mates we're basicly just stoner-laughage and "maaan im stoned!" and afterwards a nice 14 hours of some of the best sleep ever! true medication bros!

 

[arcticsun]

hey guys... im sorry ive left you hanging for some days.

perakko.. lol texas ranger hahahaha, that story cracked me up. ruutz, ive had different experiences with edibles myself tbh. but this milk kicked a punch for sure mate..


by the way guys, since i havent payed my bills for a while they took my inett connection away a coupple of days ago. thats why i havent been online, ive just paid the bills now, so i figure max 1 week and they'll open the inett connection again.


perakko... ill let you know about that addy tomorrow mate, my safeplace has been compromized... long story lol damn northerners are some crazy ppl man!

peace guys, ill drop some more pics innit once they open my inett again

 

[arcticsun]

took a while to sort through and censor the pictures. ill not be showing any hookers or coffeeshops out of respect for visitors and pimps etc...

i know thats what people want to see, but its just not my style to be walking around with a big mirror camera in these places. also i appologize but i have been lazy with taking pictures of the stash. i just dont hang around the apartment much when im in the dam, and such photo sessions is difficult inside the coffeeshops... but i took loads of pictures of the city and the city life, i took the camera with me out one day and went all touristy, i got one of them big cameras that is more carryable then nimble and portable.

this day i visited the Vondel Park, The Nemo Center, and The Botanical garden.

its abit boring and tedious work this to make a comprehencive thread, but i really do love amsterdam, and ive become quite familiar with it. i hope to show alittle of what makes amsterdam my favorite vacation place.

lets start with some random shots, ill divide the post up into several ones... please feel free to ask questions guys, im sure can answer most of them i did my first trip to the dam over 10 years ago and have been coming back annually and often several times a year to stay for longer periodes. i know my way around the downtown area pretty well i feel.



some typical Amsterdam Views to start with..

back in the day oldpink used to sit in here in a brown little den through a backalley in that door. dont know how long its been since they closed the seedboutique, pls someone let me know if im wrong and its not closed?!???

think its been 3-4 years since i was in there last.

it says "please enter" on the white steel door, i was there 3 days in a row and checked it.. was locked im afraid.


toobad i would have loved to have another chat with oldpink, first time i was there he reccomended me the strawberry cough and the blueberry from djshort good choices imo. i remember his coughing and enthusiastic discussions with his costumers... when we approached the counter he yelled at us.. hey guys whats the rush? im gonna finish this joint first, come on over and sit down from his position in a couch at the far end of the room ... and we felt right at home



here is 2 different grams of hash squeezed and worked together to form one solid 2gram piece. it was arabica special from arabica lounge at rembrandtsplein and supermaroc from dampkring i think.. both 11E a gram.

ill post more pics from my favorite city

 

[ArcticBlast]

Arctic, Arctic here, nice show you've got going on, Arctic!

over and out
ArcticBlast

 

[ruutzman]

I've seen that! and that! that I have not seen, daaaaamn I want to get back to Dam Beatifull pictures bro, I know what you feel with the camera, I have the same thing with my (i don't like to say) old photogun. Very summerish it is, was it warm there? Hope you had a nice trip, once again :smile: Have to start planning one myself too. I'd like to go at spring or summer but i believe i have to be working atleast till august/september... Still, I believe its okay to be planning and imagening

best wishes to you!

 

[arcticsun]

lol hey arcticblast

hey ruutzman april and may are good months to visit the dam but if you go outside of tourist season its cheaper and the stash is better..



here are some shots from the NEMO science center, its a huge architectural building down by the port .. its full of "things to do and things to see" as the lady who sold me the tickets said there is allso an old wooden boat from the 1600's or something there.. i visited that aswell, not much to see imo

but i got absolutely baked on some "pure equatorial sativa" from grey area and i got really inspired walking around there learning about space, and dna and whatnot.. all kinds of crazy stuff.. ill get back to the stash, but first some random shots form the NEMO center Amsterdam.

the weather was excellent all week btw... 20-25 C and cloudless skies as you can see, i got a nice tan

ill show pics from the Vondel Park

 

[WeldFlash420]

Great show ya got going on in here Arctic!

 

[arcticsun]

thanks weldflash420.. u know i used to sell welding gear back before the "crisis" hehe



mostly hobby equipment tho, im not educated with welding or anything, but very very interresting imo, i learned some stuff


...Vondel Park in Amsterdam is one of them "must go to" places both winter and summer time if the weather is good. the "dammers" love to hang out here, and they make for an excellent show while relaxing in the sun.

its what everyone does in the sun it seems, grab a beer, or wine cooler, some good lunch and a joint or 2 and head for the grass spend some sweaty hours posing your winterworkout and check out the chicks and all the people playing.. cant have a better time imo



first alittle amsterdam secret, this guy was put up by an unknown amsterdam artist, he is at the entrance to Vondel park by the Rijksmuseum. there is a small park there. i quite like this little guy

the center of the park, its like this everywhere, people chilling and drinking beer and discretely smoking joints round and abouts.

remember btw when in the dam to be discrete and respectful about your smoking. dont blow smoke at or around other people, and dont smoke infront of children at public places. if you do, then cup your joint in your hand and remember its still an intoxicant and what kind of message you are sending to kids.


despite the high tolerance for drugs, or because of it, the dutch are a highly civiliced people who cherish culture and carry themselves very dignified imo, they dont much appriciate loud obnoxious behavior. be gentle and respectful, and you might get a whole different service at places.

i.e. if you like the coffeshop and the dealer and barmaid, and plan on coming back..then bring your empty drinks to the bar and tip the barmaid, and compliment the dealer on the stash on your way out so he remembers you. its cheap and easy, but it works! trust me, next day, big smiles and he breaks out the good box for you!



.. still more amsterdam stuff to go guys, next up the botanical garden

 

[FoothillsFarmer]

fantastic pics brother! I'm not at all interested in the whorehouses and I've seen some of the coffeeshops on youtube... You're showing me what I've really wanted to see! I look forward to going one day. It looks like a beautiful peaceful place, thank you for sharing

 

[Peat]

Cool pics, articsun!

I've never been.

But,
maybe I'll make the next icmag cup...

Keep 'em coming!

hey peat, you should really make the trip, i suggest its worth the money



thats good to hear foothillsfarmer, one reason i dont want to post pics from the coffeeshops is that there are so many of them and i dont wanna give anyone a commercial advantage.


about the redlight district, all i gotta say about that is there is no place on earth with as many party horny chicks as there are in amsterdam. the place is like a all year round music festival.. party 24/7 allways..


if you ever have a chance to score.. i mean EVER.. amsterdam would be it!! the fucking clubs are off the hooook!! busloads of student chicks going nuts!


besides one could make the big coup.. the bigtime dream of any grower has GOTTA BE A GF IN AMSTERDAM!!!??? AMIRITE?!?



..phew drifting here, but trust me, its something about the bicycling they do down there or something, its fkn hooot!!

flower market..

idyllic little spots like this to sit down and smoke a joint after all the walking are everywhere... its good to dip sore feet in the canal

 

[arcticsun]

some new stuff i hadnt tried before that i picked up at grey area.


sleestick.. tasted abit lemony hazeish imo think 11E a gram

and this was brand new to the store, the wobbler, to be honest i cant give a descent smokereport on it. i had too much to smoke and drink that day.

it was tight indica buds, sweet but diesel'ish taste i seem to recall.. but i cant really recall tbh! lol. was 11E a gram aswell, good quality bud!

 

[Hammerhead]

Gypsy you do Massages as well

 

[arcticsun]

hehehe... i think icmag wasnt doing too good there a while before icmag 2.0

who knows mby they got desperate

 

[arcticsun]

more pictures from amsterdam, this time the botanical garden.


had a great relaxing time in there, and a few joints hehe

 

[arcticsun]

one last picture from the dam which i found hugely symbolic of the world and amsterdam and just alot of things going on today

 

[arcticsun]

just sampling the strawberries atm, such a smooth smoke and definately a creeper. this is my main strain for this summer, and im very happy with the choice. definately a winner. such a deliscious smell and flavor. it just owns the cheese i ran last run.

ive been kinda low on the kief and the bags lately so im getting a more correct feel for the strawberries since im not smoking anything else right now.

blueberriy nuglings should be about rdy for a sample also i spose today or tomorrow. no rush tho hehe im baked off this strawberry atm, but i might go searching for a dry nugling once this wears off.


ill start jar'ing tomorrow i spose, pics of that inc

got some kief shaking to do aswell, hoping that psicoldelica will melt for me

 

[arcticsun]

i gotta reccomend these shaker boxes, they are great for getting the kief off small amounts of trim.

some cured psicodelica (uk) for ya

that shit has a rreeeeal heavy stone.. heavy to the head and eyes. tastes alittle hashy, mby alittle like mushrooms imo hehe. low yield but extreme trichome production. i reccomend for hash lovers and indica lovers.

 

[titoon29]

Hey arcticsun !

Very nice picts !!!

I always wondered about those hash boxes... looks like it works pretty well !
I have build some homemade pollinator, it costs me around 40$ and make wonderfull hash.. still it takes usually one hour to get 2g from frosty trims/buds... so i cant imagine my self shaking and shaking for hours... i much more on smoking some hash and watching the pollinator pollinating ^^

the psycedelica sounds very good too... it s been a long time i haven t smoke real couchlocker, herb usually is very uplifting to me, even indica hybrids... still some few couchlocker like the white rhino will put me straight to bed...
i ve tried some black domina, which was quite potent, but you get strong tolerance after like two joints...

very nice pictures of amsterdam too, i was there three weeks ago, amazing time and smokeout ! this city is so beautiful, and walking in the street high with some buds in the pocket doesn t get ya in jail (best part probably !)...

Keep the good job bro !
