So you still don't know what Black Santa made you smoke ?
In Amsterdam most common drugs are weed /salvia / mushrooms, but salvia must be smoked with a pipe, and mushrooms must be eaten.


Nope, I still don't know the contents of that joint. It seems possible that it was salvia, since I was messed up for like 10 minutes and then it went away. But I didn't hallucinate. Maybe it was just a minior dose.

If you can, try Salvia.

I strongly considered trying salvia directly, but ended up deciding against it. I've never tried a hallucinogen and didn't really want my first time to be in another country. Anyway, it's easily available here in the states so I might try it some time in the future. Maybe when I try it I'll see whether Black Santa's present was salvia. Hohoho

Haha you look high as a kite in this picture. It seems like you had fun, one of my friends got back from Dam a few days ago and he's still out of it. I wanted to go this summer with some other friends, but I already spent all the money I have on other trips.

The stuff you smoked that you couldn't identify, how harsh was the toke and what sort of high did you get?


It was very harsh. Much harsher than weed (my lungs have a pretty good tolerance). I coughed a couple times and then suddenly entered a blurry, slowed down world while my mind was ticking just as fast as normal. As I said above it did wear off after 10 minutes or so, so maybe it was salvia, but it's pretty damn tough to figure out what it was because I was already on alcohol, caffeine, and weed. It could have been another type of herb too which doesn't have hallucinogenic effects.


If the smoke is harsh, it could be salvia, however, Black Santa is probably a very very experienced smoker, so he knows salvia should be smoked with a pipe. Salvia smoked in joints do not give any hallucinogenic effects. It must be chewed or smoked with a pipe.

Could be kratom. Kratom looks like hash and gives a weird effect, both calming and stimulating at the same time. Kratom tastes really bad. Damn, I feel like I need to go to Amsterdam to find Black Santa to know what was in that joint.

Are you trolling me or do you really not know what a didgeridoo is?

Mystery joint is indeed intriguing. May have been a combo of things... can't think of what would be so harsh to an experienced smoker but given that effect.

My experience with these 'mystery drugs' is to not dwell on it and be thankful that it didn't go worse. I have a friend who accidently smoked meth when someone passed him a joint at a rave.

Love the blog, I have always loved travelling and went to Europe a couple of times but didnt have the chance to visit the region you were in yet (even though its on my list), and its always nice to have some pictures and the opinion of someone whos been there.


Feel free to shoot me some questions at some point in the future when you visit those places.

I read the description again and it sounds like you almost whitied, if I haven't smoked in a while and I smoke a lot at once sometimes things go blurry and I feel like wind is blowing in my ears, I wouldn't be suprised if that happen in Amsterdam?


While this is indeed possible, I just can't explain it this way because the feeling I got was unlike anything I've ever felt before. And this is coming from a serious ex-pothead.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did your hostels in Amsterdam cost? Flights there are cheap, but when I staryed factoring in accomodation and spending money it ended up getting to a point where I felt I was better off travelling further than a few countries along. Also did you have any problem with Hostel curfews? Did you ignore them or find places without them?


The one we stayed, st. christophers, was about 30$ a night for Thursday, but went up to 40/45$ a night on Friday/Saturday (6 bed room). But this was one of the nicer hostels, right in the red light district, during peak season. Hit up hostelworld.com and shop around. I'm sure if you're willing to stay just a bit out of the town center, or are willing to sacrifice quality, you could get by on less than I did.

As for hostel curfews, and other rules, we generally just ignored them. For example, I snuck a girl into my room in a hostel that didn't allow guests, and came home as the sun was coming up many times. However, there was one hostel in particular that we stayed in frankfurt that had a curfew of 2am. We didn't find out about it until we paid. So make sure you inquire about this before you pay/book the room if you intend to stay out late. For us it didn't matter because we had a flight to catch the next morning at 8am, so the 2am curfew was fine.

Ah, good point. And looking at the effects, I definitely had serious dry mouth and nausea, so this is a candidate.

No troll, I guess I'm just uncultured xD

True that. Nothing really went wrong, and I have an experience to look back on, so no regrets. Though I might be a little more careful in the future . In the past I've taken hits off joints at raves and clubs, but was just lucky I suppose.
