Has anyone ever been to Cheech and Chong’s in Amsterdam? It’s a hash bar or something like that. A friend of mine went there on vacation recently and partook of something called skunkweed that really threw her for a loop.

Anyone from the Netherlands in the house?

**Snoooopy** wants to get loooopy.

Where I came from, skunkweed was low-grade, inferior, burn-your-lungs, five-joints-to-get-high dope.

Maybe something’s lost in the translation.

In my pot smoking days, skunkweed was how we referred to cannibis indica, as the buds had a distinct skunky smell. Usually very potent.
