First time traveling with medication.

[Emz]

Traveled to Amsterdam for my birthday weekend with my medication.
Filled in the travel form and returned signed by clinic manager next day (I'm with Mamedica®, the travel form is on their site)
Medication in thier original pots in my bag
Not a peep from UK security, bag went straight through.
Coming back bag was taken to side. Guy looked at x-ray said "nice grinder mate" and let me go. No checks no swabs.
Hilarious.
Obviously it's Amsterdam where attitudes are much more liberal anyway but I was still nervous, even tho I was fully legit.

Always check the country you are traveling to regulations but if it's as easy and smooth as my experience I'm either impressed or smuggling is scarily easy.

Happy medications all!

Did you have some nice strains in amsterdam

 

[Emz]

Meh not as good as it used to be. You have to search hard for the good ones. A lot of the same stuff being sold as something else. And the prices damn. £10 a g expencive on UK med only strains u can get for that there are white widow and amnesia. My top 3 I tried out there were Snoop from a random place called dreamz, cereal milk from smokeys and oreoz from green place. Honourable mention for prix dami britscotti hash and gelato cream hash from green place.
Shops visited:
Bageera
Green place
Smokeys
Prix dami
Dreams
Het Gelderse
Mediterrane

Only 2 days so time limited.

Was a great trip but my UK med (bubble bath and pave S1) was overall best value for quality.

I may or may not have some Nishi from Tenco for Xmas, but at them prices special occasion only (€175 for 5g)

I love amsterdam

 

[Emz]

Love the vibe just got too expensive. Especially the accommodation

 

[JR52]

Yes it is expensive but it is good to go now and then to try the different weed.
I always seem to get more stoned in a coffee shop than anywhere else

 

[Emz]

Oh definitely. I enjoyed the smoke and drink bars as well. They all have a different feel. Some nice some not so nice but interesting none the less. I found I was expecting to get more stoned than I did but that could be down to other factors....including truffles lol

 

[JR52]

Sounds like a good weekend

 

[Emz]

Yes definitely recommended!

I flew to Spain a few weeks ago to help out with a dog charity that I'm involved with. I took a lot of electrical equipment with me as I was fixing Wifi issues and signal problems, so I had all my networking/cable making gear. On the way out absolutely fine but on the way back with hardly a .5 in my pot I was stopped but...
I was having a mare going home, little bit emosh from leaving the dogs and having a really good time. One of the reasons I take our medicine is to help me eat because I need to put on weight/anxiety . So at Alicante airport I have to take my belt off before going through the detector and take all electrical stuff out of my rucksack, it was all just going wrong. I didn't take everything out and I'm trying to hold up a pair of 32 inch waist jeans with only a 28 inch actual waist and the lady is having a go at me because I'm starting to hold everyone up and I'm starting to feel my Anxiety shoot up at a ridiculous speed, she holds up my lock pouch with my meds in and asks whats inside! I just blurted out quite loud I think MARIJUANA!!, she laughed, I laughed, she realised I was serious picked up the blower and called the police!! So I pull all my travel letter out and my prescription and proceed to another counter. It turned out that the Spanish copper saw my address and though he new where I lived because he taught Spanish in a school near me, turns out it was in Rainham Kent and I'm Rainham Essex but I think that may have helped the situation in some weird way, but it all ended well with him telling me that he has friends that use medicinal dooby!! I now have a fully perfect fitted pair of jeans that doesn't really need a belt!!

Al be in Prix D'ami next Thursday morning for a quick breakfast and a smoke before I get my train down to Germany. Its great how close to Centraal it is and a lot better than CS Central and Voyagers.

Hey Emz, did you have to get any document/forms from Dutch government or just your clinics travel letter? Heading over August and been hearing mixed reports.
