I can relate to this.

I'm not a drug taker - I'm not even a drinker as such. However, I do recall a truly wonderful experience I had with cannabis in Amsterdam a numbet of years ago,

I met up with a young Japanese guy in our hotel and he suggested we go to a 'coffee shop'. Living in Japan at the time, I had no knowledge, let alone experience, with marijuana as drugs were not a thing in Japan. I wasn't all that keen to go.at first, but he persuaded me.

I ordered the weakest joint from the long list on the menu, whilst he ordered something a lot stronger.

I remember staggering back to the hotel, arms around each other holding us up, and feeling totally euphoric  and not being able to stop laughing.

I returned to Amsterdam a few months later and booked into a small Japanese- owned hotel. (Actually, it was just a house on the canal). I could smell the marijuana as I opened the door. I went upstairs to reception and saw about a dozen young Japanese guys sitting around smoking and rolling joints. 

I immediately headed to the closest 'coffee shop' to get some weed and took it back to the hotel. I didn't know how to roll a joint but these guys were perfectionists in the art -no surprise considering they come from the land of origami! 

The joints were a work of art - I remember how they were perfectly cylindrical and came to a beautiful point at the end. 

I lit one.....and nothing happened! I didn't feel anything! Had I been dudded by the coffee shop? 

The boys gave me one of theirs and again, I hardly felt anything. 

Undeterred, I bought some space cookies and some cake, but they had very little effect on me. The boys suggested that, as I was not a user, my body may be having trouble dealing with it.

I bought a joint in Pattaya a few years ago. I took one puff and immediately felt its affects. I threw it in the bin because I decided I wanted to stay in full control of my faculties.

I wish I could relive my first experience in Amsterdam. It was wonderful!!!!

Was it on Soi Welcome in Jomtien?

Maybe that is how the fire started - from the trash bin?

Just joking as I could not resist.

I have had a few tries of the stuff during my 63 years of existance - similar to your cannabis experiences.

I forget where I bought it, but it would have been somewhere near Boyztown - maybe Walking Street.

I remember that hotel fire, they thought it was faulty circuit ( sorry for repeating bkk's joke but I first responded and then read rest of thread )

Just to be clear, I extinguished it under the tap before I put it in the bin.

I'm a little paranoid when it comes to hotel fires. 

I always ask for a room on a lower floor and the first thing I do is check where the fire escape is.

I remember staying in a hotel in Paris when the fire alarm went off. I rushed to the fire escape, only to find that the door was locked! Everyone was in a mad panic, banging on the door and trying to force it open.

Suddenly, the alarm stopped. 

We went downstairs in the lift to complain about the door.

"What's your problem? It was only a test."

Fucking French!
