So I'm probably hitting up Amsterdaam later this year. I'm excited! It's my buddy's bachelor party and the man knows how to go out in style.

Really it's a celebration more than a lamentation. The girl he's meeting is virtually perfect. Genuinely kind, attractive, smart (she's at Harvard Law ffs!), funny, all around total package. They've been together for years and really traveled the world together. Kind of a dream couple. Good for them!

So anyway, I'm only worried that if I get drunk and all my friends are partaking of the sweet sweet chiba, what if my drunken resolve crumbles?! I can't smoke at all, my future career (5 years of school and 35 K down the drain!) depends in part upon having a clean drug record for at least the past five years. Eeek! What to do.

Anyways, just a ramble.

clean drug record? Do you get tested? If so is it random....The weeds legal there so whats the problem. If you dont get randomly tested then fuck go for it. Plus if you havent smoked in a while and arent a chronic user it wont stay in yopur system as long...Depending on your metabolism. You dont want to say you went to amsterdam and didnt smoke or bang prostitutes....You had better do both!

Hmmm bang prostitutes? Nah. That I'd advise against. Besides, my man Jamesy don't need to pay for it, right Jimbo?

Haha damn right I don't. I be rackin' up the Dutchies.

To answer Syd's question...it's a drug test AND polygraph questioning. So there's no realistic way to get around it other than to abstain.

Well surely you can enjoy yourself WITHOUT smoking pot????? I mean you can just get utterly headfucked on booze instead. Just don't eat any Hash cakes!

Well that's the thing. I mean I've turned down pot a BILLION times, but it's no the same. I'm going to be sitting in POT CAFES ffs. It'll be like the focal point at times...

Then go architecture hunting :P

As I just told Frank, I figured my official duty would be documenting the trip

I'm glad I'm not in foioking holland anymore, what a shithole....
And always the peeps talking about how fooking important smoking weed is, get outta here!
I'm tired of this image, what a fucked up world.

Yeah...it would kind of suck to be the country where stupid Americans went to get stoned...

Just say you didn't inhale. It worked for Clinton.

Or... just let your mates get stoned out of their skulls while you babysit them. Babysitting stoners is fun, you can mess with their heads :twisted:

Stoner> *goofy grin*
James> There's SPIDERS on your shirt!! SPIDERS ON YOUR SHIRT!!!!!
Stoner> *does the universal oh-my-god-there's-spiders-on-my-shirt dance* Get 'em off! AAGGHH!!
James> *evil*

Hehe.

Well to be honest I'm not going for hedonism. I'm going to visit another country. I'm sure there'll be a fair amount of fun and debauchery, but it's' not my primary goal.

Liar! :P

It is a very beautiful place archictecturally (sp?)

And there's some damn good bars and the locals are very individual to say the least .

You all should a fantastic time :)

I am actually not a good influence on this subject so I will just spit it out and take off...

As for the smoking of the marajuwana (I spelled it wrong on purpose) I say do it because you only live once (as far as I know) and plus like they said where you will be it will be legal and they are illegalizing it in 2008 so do it whilst you can..
as for the dutchies....I whish I was in your shoes I want some dutchies..but watch out the legal age for sex is 12..so....yea...

and er...dont go to any hostels some creepy guy with a exstacy habit and a venerial disease on his lip tells you about it might just be a ploy from the local mafia to let somone pay to castrate your life in more than one way...

GO out in STYLE yo
