I thought I read the legal places were only open to Dutch residents now.

I could be wrong, I've never liked smoking anything really biggrin

If you go to Naples I can recommend the Scala Montesanto as the place to shoot up late at night, judging from the number of discarded needles...

Don't go all in, take your time. Alternate beer and gear, or you'll end up in a mess of puke on the street.

Go to a bar, get a small beer. Watch the world go by. Then go to a coffee shop, have a joint. If you can't roll you can buy pre rolled. Watch more of the world go by. Rinse, repeat smile

Take you're time and don't overdo it. Enjoy!

But don't make the newbie mistake of 10mins after your first cake deciding that its not working and have another. It can take a minimum of 30mins for the effects to kick in. The Op doesn't want to be that tourist sat on a bench outside a coffee shop throwing a massive whitey.

I wish I had read this advice prior to my first trip.

Had a strong brownie in a cafe and after 30 mins nothing had happened so ordered another. 30 mins later and still not much so thought i'd been conned and rented a bicycle to go for a cycle.

Spent the next hour on the same roundabout trying to get off it, with my feet the size of clowns feet and the ground about 20 ft below the pedals. Got the tyre stuck in a tram rail at which point MI6 appeared in a helicopter and chased me in to a kebab shop at 3pm. I sat in the back corner of the kebab shop before crawling out on my hands and knees between the counter and people ordering and tried to run back to my hostel - which was fine until my arms fell off.

Had a sleep in the hostel and then went out to watch the football, sat in the pub and Aguero scores the 94th min winner to win the premier league on the last game of the season and the place erupts. I turn to my mate and ask him if the game has started yet.

Was about to post the same thing, the wife went last year and tried a cake, she said they recommend a quarter for a first timer, however someone in her group ate a whole one, she wasn't good!


Funny story about hash cakes.

Years ago the FIL (now astranged) was going through a mid life crisis and one of the things he was doing was, he got into making hash rock cakes, he made a batch of normal rock cakes and a batch of hash ones.

He rang me and told me that he had made a batch of normal cakes and would drop them round for us and amongst them was one "special one" for me which would be wrapped in cling film, he dropped them round in a tin, gave them to the wife and she popped the tin in the larder, by the time I got home from work I'd forgotten all about it and went off to work the next day; it was a Saturday.

Late morning I got a call from the wife, our daughter (about 6 or 7 at the time), wasn't well and was all lethargic on the sofa and the wife hadn't a clue what was wrong with her, but my daughter had said that she had, had one of grandads rock cakes but it tasted funny; oh fk!

My daughter had come down in the morning and helped herself to a rock cake out of the tin, she had had the "special one" fortunately she only took a bite as she didn't like the taste, to say that both the wife and MIL were not happy with both myself and the FIL was an understatement.

We kept an eye on our daughter and she was fine, I wouldn't have wanted to explain that at the hospital, looking back now it is quite funny, I never got to try the hash cake as it was chucked and he didn't make any more and to this day my then 7yo, has had more experience of any drug taking than her dad did, I've still never tried one or smoked any kind of week.

That sounds like a bit more than just a hash cake or three....

And some more...outstanding story, well told.

If it was me, I wouldn't bother trying it unless it's something you already enjoy (and I didn't try it, when I went to Amsterdam).

Me and the missus went last year, both never smoked anything either.

All I can say is - TRY IT. We had a joint first, but nothing happened. We just coughed our guts up. The hash brownie on the other hand, I spent the next 3 hours laughing my head off and the missus started running around chasing our daughter who was actually back home in England. Ha!

Glad I ticked it off atleast.
