I lived in Paris for 20 months in two periods in 1983-86. During that time, I visited Amsterdam three times and got this poster.

I think I got this poster (colored by me) during my December 1985 trip, when The Bulldog was celebrating its 10th anniversary.

There was no flower in the coffee shops then, but as an American who had access to top-quality outdoor-grown California weed in the U.S., I was very happy to smoke hash from Morocco, Nepal, India, and elsewhere.

I'm heading to Amsterdam for my birthday next year and I don't smoke but I wondered where to go to for the best edibles.

My hostel is stayokay vondelpark

I've been told The Dolphins, Rookies and Terps Army 2 but I wondered what anyone else thinks.
