I am going to the Dam in 6 days. Never been before. Anyone have anything essential they want to recommend? I am not adverse to shagging big fat whores.

If yer smoking dampkring is supposed to be the best coffeeshop around, i can confirm they had a fucking massive selection last time i was there, grey area well worth a visit too, barney's has good gear and great food but is always rammed full. Apart from that, um, anne frank's house, the flabby whores... not much else. Amsterdam is like a weird blackpool with more skunk.

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU DO NOT DO MUSHROOMS AND STAY OUT ON THE STREETS ALL NIGHT.

Whatever you do, do not go to Ann Frank's house - it's boring as hell. Somehow, I don't think that would have been in your itinerary anyway you git :D

i was there two days ago. seems to be a really good time of the year to visit; not so many tourists. Amsterdam is peaceful, I like it.
Barney's is good... my friends and I were the only people there on monday night.

Don't go to Anne Frank's attic unless you have some rreal interrest in it, as I rrememberr it was farr too expensive. The Heineken museum on the otherr hand is fabulous.

hmmmm, coke's highly dodgy in Amsterdam - you'll get asked loads if you want any by shifty looking black guys, but it's nearly always cut to fuck. also, my mate's mate did actually get stabbed and died whilst trying to sort out some beak in Dam. I'd steer clear unless you meet some "normal" people at a club or something and you trust them...
You can get all sorts of other shit though - oodles of 'shrooms, peyote, "legal" E's and trips (that are actually fucking strong), Salvia etc...

Pink Floyd coffeeshop, Heineken factory and hologram galleries sound decent! Nice one.
Chin: Yeah that's exactly what I heard, I think I'll just combat the weed with shrooms, should be fine...

lol yeah, you'll be fiiine...
a couple of mates of mine made the mistake of thinking that Amsterdam'sa 24 hour city and did some very strong mushrooms, with the intention of staying in a coffee shop all night (they had nowhere else to stay and were going home the next day) and just smoking etc.
to their horror they were turfed out at 2am and couldn't find anywhere else open to shelter in until morning. They were both tripping their bollocks off.
having no hotel or any money to get a hotel, they just had to spend the entire night walking about Amsterdam. They said that all the "weird night people" came out after about 2.30am and were on the streets with them - A LOT of fucked up crack heads, tramps, hardened criminals and smackheads. They tried sheltering in some doorways, but kept getting weirdos coming up to them and babbling nonsense, grabbing them and their bags and generally being quite alarming. Remember, they were both tripping. Then they tried just keeping on the move and the smaller of my two mates ended up in a serious altercation with a big black dude who had swiped his wallet or something - my other mate was 'round the corner from him and says he just saw him come legging it round the bend, looking terrified and shouting "run Rob, run!!!", so then they ran into a shopping arcade that was not all shut up and tried to hide in there, but this weird dude on a bike came up to them and demanded money and wouldn't let them get past him etc...
In the end, they just cowered at the train station somewhere until about 6am and got the first train back to the airport and the hell outta there...
Said it was the scariest night of their lives.

that sounds absolutly terrifying. some of the people around the red lights seem dodgy enough when you're just stoned... on mushrooms paranoia must have taken over summet rotten. along with the people who are actually dodgy and target vunerable people lol.
for the love of god, find a proper camp site (or some other such place to hang around outside) if you're gonna do mushrooms!

i dunno - i think petty crime/violent crime's quite high....
it was funny coz they were meant to be going to Amsterdam to try and start a new life maybe - you know, get jobs and a flat and shit.....were meant to be there for at least 6 months....they had saved up money and all sorts.
came back after 4 days completely penniless and mentally scarred.

deffinatly not none existant. if you're carefull and arent wondering around on mushrooms late at night you'll be fine. deffinatly some dodgy looking people around though.
ive been 4 times and didnt run into much trouble... except for this one crackhead who had a knife.. we just went into the nearest coffee shop and he buggered off. the place can be quite a maze when you're stoned- one minute you can know where you are, the next you can end up in some dodgy looking ally.
speaking of dodgy allys, take a look at the dodgiest ally in amsterdam... cant remember what they call it but it has a name. you literally have to side step through it because its so narrow- red windows on both sides, pimps and such hanging around. its a sight to behold lol.

Mmm I'm slightly worried about crackheads pulling knifes n stuff cause we have a couple of girls going with us and they always get the madheads coming up to them. Be even worse in the Dam. Saying that they've been before so know what to expect.
Good tattoo places anyone?

That looks quite decent.
It's close to the warmoesstraat, where conscious dreams is located, as well as a cheap but good enough chinese restaurant (about 20 metres apart). Conscious Dreams has a very nice chill-out area where they serve various lovely herbal teas. Worth checking out.
In case you have to watch your budget:
imo, a gram of good hash or weed should never ever cost more than 10 euros, which is more than i'd ever spend, but these are Amsterdam prices. It might be a good idea to look around first and compare prices.
If anyone is planning on getting mushrooms: one standard dose of fresh cubensis (30 grams) should never cost more than 15 euros. Salvia 10x for example shouldn't cost more than 20 euros per gram (plenty of doses). Remember that salvia isn't always pleasant to use (i'd never smoke it in Amsterdam).
and a link for pink floyd coffeeshop:
