View Larger Map

The easiest way to get to the PowerZone is to ride the metro (subway) underneath Central Station to Spaklerweg station. At the station exit take the first left onto Spaklerweg Street. Continue to the right, crossing the parking-lot at the McDonald's.

 

By car or taxi from Amsterdam, drive towards Amstel Station turning right at the end of the street. Continue under the railway arches and turn left onto Spaklerweg. Go right at the McDonald's and drive into the parking lot on your immediate left.

 

If arriving from outside Amsterdam, follow the A10 ring east and take the Amstel S111 exit. Turn left at the end of the exit and follow the bend on the left. Continuing under the railway arches, turn right at the Spaklerweg crossing. Turn left at the McDonald's and crossover to the parking lot.

I recommend reading her trip report.
She has a different, refreshing angle, and it's not just some 20- something male saying "Dude, I got stoned."

hey everyone hope everyone is getting ready for the cup.. its getting much closer .. anyways someone needs to start up some page or something showing where everyone is staying at-- the length of their stay-- their age and where they live at - so people can hit eachother up... let me know if someone figures out something we can do like that.

Called the Melkweg, where some High Times Cannabis Cups Events are being held, as usual, this year.
Was told that smoking is only allowed upstairs in the smoking lounge, or outside, and not in the main areas-bar, front area, music rooms.
Called Power Zone, where Expo will be held. Thought there would be no smoking in the main Expo area for the Cups, but not confirmed.
Will follow up with more calls to the office.

Smoking Ban:
Coffeeshops are going to sell random herbal mixes, so people don't have to smoke pure, if they don't want to.
These will be legal to smoke.

first OFF theres way too many americans amongst other people that travel there for that period of time specifically for the cup. I highly doubt they are going to regulate the cigarette or non pure cannabis smoke at the expo itself. I can't say how the shops will be but last year at the expo it was soo FREE and tight. I hope theres more people this year but i was extremely baked all the time i even tried to goto the airport a day early :( lol... be warned!! but the sad thing is i heard no mushys at summer time which i wanted to fry balls up in my room with my laptop and the most best bud i can buy in a day ... HAIL THE CUP :) i went last year for my first time and i will goo for the rest of eternity.

Richard

tdc:
That statement is not completely accurate. As of July 1, no smoking of any kind is allowed in bars, cafes, restaurants, nightclubs, which includes Power Zone amd Melkweg.
Cannabis-only smoking will be allowed in Coffeeshops only, provided the employees are physically partitioned off with separate ventilation.
Smaller coffeeshops will be difficult in doing this, and will only sell.
That is why I have been asking for clarification.

Saddan I wish you would of read what Reverend tucker had to say..

for your information brother tucker has a church in Ontario,
where you take cannabis like the cathy's take wine!.
your rejection of anything from organized religion should shoot off alerts, showing your limited thinking and understanding. as the adage goes don't judge a book by its cover.

The smoking ban is for cigarette-smoking only. Pure cannabis smoking is not affected.

What will the smoking ban do to events at the melkweg and the powerzone? We have to smoke, otherwise there is no point! Last year was awesome, so as long as we can smoke, things will be even better this time round.

Richard

Jun 21 2008, 2:54 pm

What about smoking ban?
Will there be smoking allowed at the Expo and the Melkweg ?
thanks

Dear Brothers and Sisters,



Re: COURT NEWS UPDATE - Religious Exemption

Our release from prison



On my behalf and Reverend Tucker’s behalf, my Brother of some 40 years, whom I can not associate with at this time because of our Appeal Bail Conditions, I thank you all for your prayers and to say how much we appreciated the protest of our imprisonment in front of the John Sopinka Court House in Hamilton in April.

missionary-support.jpg

At the time we were sitting in Barton Street Jail, in the Dorm on the 5th floor with 12 other guys in a 30” x 35’ Dorm when it hit the news. We were about as happy as any prisoners could be to have such support and I want to let you to know how good it made us feel. So thank you. We spent some 20 days in that Jail House all together. In short, I spent about 28 days in gaol. Nine in the Pen – Millbrook Assessment Unit “MAU”. It was probably not as bad as the Provincial Corrections Facility where they imprisoned Reverend Tucker at Penetanguishene and where he was threatened – note: Thank you Sister Angel for your publicity, but at the MAU it was 23 hr. lock up in a 10’ x 7’ steel cell. What’s with dat? In any event, much to tell later. What a relief to be out, I speak for both of us.



COURT NEWS UPDATE: Brother Walter and I shall be in Toronto In the Court of Appeal for Ontario at Osgoode Hall on

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008 at 10 am, to ask the Court to vary Reverend Tucker’s Bail Conditions so he may live at 544 Barton at the Morning Star Mission again where he can pay rent and look after and protect his home which we are responsible for pending the out-come of the appeal. We believe this will be permitted. I will be making a Bail Application some time after that and we plan to make it somewhat constitutional.



Special Note: I heard from Brother Case Klevering, from Guelph, Ontario, that he met with the many of Toronto’s G13 Missionaries in attendance at Reverend Tucker’s last Bail Hearing and I/We look forward to seeing you on the 25th if possible? Note: After the hearing, Mr. Boushy advised us when Reverend Tucker and I met with him in his office yesterday, that he will be appearing that afternoon as Counsel in G13’s Defence at Old City Hall so we can all go for lunch after the Court of Appeal and discuss the case in his company.



Well, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and I/we believe that our time for a Religious Exemption is at hand.



Until we meet again.



Be well and prosper.

In peace, bless us all.



Reverend Brother Michael J. Baldasaro

Sick schedule! Can't wait. Honoring Peter Tosh will be amazing. Children of all three original Wailers together on closing night. Epic! Reggae historian Roger Steffens too. This is gonna be a reggae-lover's, pot connoisseur's and cannabis aficianado's dream event.

Toots and the Maytals - Legendary!

Cannabis Cup Band playing all the great Tosh tunes and more! Steel Pulse. Good stuff...

Can't forget about the many cannabis strains and chunks of hash that must be thoroughly tested. Training starts now! Hope to see and smoke with you all at this event...
