and i implied that they aimed at american college kids because

they are american
they have american weights
they advertise in american magazines
90% of their strains originate from the states
their menu promotes 'in from the states' 'east coast og' and so on

logic or some sort of racist attack? ill let other members make up their own mind quite frankly i dont give a fuck what u think

I'm not trying to pick a fight. I just refuse to sugar coat my feelings when I see immature people like yourself pop up on a forum and randomly pull out stereotypes that are designed to make juvenile people like yourself laugh. I learned along time ago that stereotyping people is a small minded boys game. No need to call me son, your the one who needs to grow up.

You didn't say they aim at American college kids. You said they aim at American college kids who know no better, big difference. What you actually said implies you think American college kids are of low intelligence. Now to break down your points. You think they aim at American college kids because the owners are Americans themselves. They sell by the gram just like every other coffeeshop, not in American weights(weed is measured and sold by the gram in America too). Even if they do advertise in American magazines it's completely irrelevant to your statement. I'm pretty sure most of their strains are bred in Amsterdam and did not originate from the states. Greenhouse has an entire section of their menu devoted to strains from the US, does that mean they target the American college kid who knows no better as well.

ok, im not going to reply any further to this as i dont use this forum for arguments, but just to clarify -

i just mean an american college kid 'knows no better' because they might not have numerous bits of weed around them, ie first time in amsterdam anything gets you high.

grey area are the only cs in amsterdam with 3.5 (8ths) on their menu.
I dont shop at greenhouse either.

Im really not bothered if you dont agree with my opinion, I have no interest in changing anyones mind about any coffeeshop, please dont take what i said as so offensive and as an insult to you.

That being said looking at your previous posts it does seem that you feel it neccessary to correct any statement with 'americans' in it, whether you mis-interpreted the authors point or not. So have fun on this forum and your travels to amsterdam but since your attitude stinks i have no reason to continue to communicate with you

[Stanky Danky]

You statement might not have been intentionally meant as a diss to Americans, but anyone who read it could easily interpret that way. I appologize if that was not your intention. I guess my fuse is a little short when it comes to people who feel the need to randomly come on a forum and think they're sly by throwing around ignorant and hateful stereotypes without any provocation whatsoever. The number of posts I have defending America is just proof of how popular it is on this site for people to do just that. I really need to stop standing up to these lowlifes. I end up making myself look like a bitch in the end.

No, I'm with you SD. His original post was certainly offensive, but after reading his following posts I'm not sure it was meant to be so. I think he probably does have a low opinion of American kids but at least he's not trying to put it out there with malintent *shrug*.

You're right, though...just try and not let it bother you. There will ALWAYS be people who stick to the stereotypes they've learned. It's much better to let it go because you're most likely never going to change someone's opinion...especially on the internet.

Actually, the BEST thing to remember is that the other Europeans on the board who are intelligent almost always dismiss stereotypical/judgemental/ignorant comments. So it's definitely not worth getting worked up over, man

Back to Grey Area; of course they market to Americans. I still like them, though. Everything I purchased was quite good *shrug*.

[cantona7]

i like grey area. and the comment about american college kids was funny and somewhat true. but depends. an american college kid from nyc,california,seattle or a canadian from nc or ontario would def know what good weed was....not to hate but as good or better than alot of college students the world over. the main passtime for most of my friends at uni here is to smoke high grade after all work is done. and i dont see any problem with selling 3.5 gram bags. its a good amt imo. not to much and not to little.

[metal4mullets]

... i dont see any problem with selling 3.5 gram bags. its a good amt imo. not to much and not to little.

Agreed

Agreed

imo its a great medium when you want more than one or 2 grams but you don't wanna get the whole 5 and put all your eggs into one basket. wish u could get this weight more places. i remember for awhile grey area was using the american style sandwhich bags haha. i think they were just having some fun though.

[colinzeal]

we call 3.5 grams a score cos once upon a time it cost £20, so "an eighth" is a traditional unit to sell in, all over the world. in england it might be called a Henry as in Henry VIII.

Surely ripping College American kids is just like ripping the pissed up chavy Brits? Why get so stressed about it. Teasing about nationalities is not always meant in a hugely offensive way. Like it's already been said, the OP seems to not be a troll or flame needlessly.

I've said this before, but it seems recently that any comment against any aspect of America is drawing these huge over the top reactions. People on this forum used to, and many still, be able to take criticism of their country and people voicing their opinion of it with a SOH.

Aplogies for the highjack but i couldn't leave this beauty alone.

I'll ambit, theres one member on here that does flame America. But people talking about America in a not 100 positive way does not make them a low life. Neither does people who dont like America. Your, imo, overly defensive about the subject.

[Rasa]

Im an American College Student and I have been far outside the Centrum on the majority of my trips at outlying Coffeeshops as well as in the Centrum. I can say as a 19 year old U.S College Student I am a prepared traveler and wouldn't take a ganja oriented trip to Amsterdam without doing my research so I sir do "know better"!

It has nothing to do with their views not being 100% positive for America. There are plenty of things I don't like about America myself. The thing that I don't like is these people seem to pop up randomly and spout off just to needlessly prove that they're a yankist. A lowlife activity in my opinion. If I popped up on this forum and randomly made a comment like the GA aims their prices at Brittish college students who know no better I would no doubt get flamed for it, and you would probably be the first in line. I will admit I am overly defensive about this sort of stuff and will try to refrain from telling these people what I think of their activities in the future.

i know this may start more arguments, but sorry, its hard to resist -
