just dont ask to see every smoke they have & then purchase a single gram, that will most probably piss them off

Like i did in Resin last trip, except i did not buy anything coz it was all shitty looking with that Savona soapy smell. The tender was slightly pissed but i was not willing to buy cock weed, so went down Abraxas who showed me all i wanted. 8)

TBH Shady, theres a few negative comments about Mellow Yellow and you still promote the place. No offense meant man :).

Personally ive never bought from Abraxas, but i have had a coffee and a smoke there. It was a cool place, i would try the weed there, majority of comments have been positive ( as have Mellow Yellows i have to add for fairness ) so ill try it out.

I gave up buying from Abraxas after buying a gram of the strawberry only to smoke the gram in a pure joint and not feeling any affects, then I spent about 2 hrs in there with a mate not buying any weed or drinks only for the bud tender to keep coming over asking if we wanted any drinks or anything, I felt quite bad but I also felt quite good. :lol:

Well the deals where pre weighed and i dont carry pocket digitals with me so cant confirm if it was under but i got what joints i would expect to get from them. Also got very stoned too and was flying all the way home. This was Abraxas that used to be Chocolata and i know its the same chain but this shop although small has a nice feeling. Last trip Abraxas too and Paradox where top of the pops for me. I visited a fair few shops too including MY, GA, Katsu, Dampkring, DF, Hunters, and HGF.
No offence taken and i would deffo be the first to say if i felt i was being ripped off. 8)

if there was a difference in weight, would the argument not then be about the calibration of the scales ???

think of time, if two watches differ, everyone could agree that they differ, but how could anyone tell which of them, if either, is correct ???

Yea good point man.

Call it naivety on my part, but i have faith that the coffeeshops i frequent when in Amsterdam wouldnt want to under weigh.
