Trying pot a.k.a cannabis/ marijuana in Amsterdam, The Netherlands during my backpacking trip in 2016.

Share this post and let’s create a conversation.

It was also mentioned in the comments section of [RIDING HIGH in AMSTERDAM | https://youtu.be/yZybrlLd3QM] that we may have smoked the joint in an ‘illegal’ vicinity of Amsterdam (Smoking weed is permissible in designated coffee shops). We would like to apologize to the community for the misunderstanding and ignorance of this act. Let this be a lesson learnt for all.

As I look back at the footage from that day, I can’t help but laugh at how clueless yet completely amazed we were. Riding our bikes through the gorgeous, winding streets of Amsterdam after our first visit to a coffeeshop felt like a dream. In the video, you’ll see us navigating the busy canals, dealing with the sudden rush of the high, and trying to keep our composure while filming.

It was an incredible, mind-opening experience of my backpacking journey, but it also taught me a valuable lesson about being a responsible traveler. I hope you enjoy watching our hazy adventure, and please, learn from our rookie mistake—keep the smoke inside the coffeeshops!
