Trip report 22 - 24th of Feb 2010 (UPDATED - Part two)

[Binman]

Nice one cheers.

I smoked it when we were there is September. One of my favourite smokes all holiday due to the fact that it did actually taste like mangos.
A brilliant first spliff of the morning kind of weed. Gutted that I'll not be able to sample it again next week!

EDIT – Also, on the way to Barneys from HGF we stopped at a Coffeeshop on the left hand side as the road curves that I don’t think has been open on my previous visits, and it looked quite recently done up, but I can’t remember it’s name (can anybody jog my memory?) Anyway we stopped in for a look at the menu, was decidedly average, their top purchase being their “nameofcoffeeshopthaticantremember-haze”. But this just appeared to be very similar to super silver haze that I can get at home pretty regularly, and looked the same as the SSH/Amnesia hazes in other coffee shops. The same could be said for Basjoes heaven haze as well…! I’m getting the impression, from my own observations and speaking to people that work at coffee shops that this happens a lot? If so why, is rebranding allowed just to get idiots/or just un-educated novices to buy the same strain under a different name. It’s not very cool really… (If I am wrong please correct me but this does seem to be the case.)

Hear, hear. Made the same observations.

Thank you for your time and writting up the report

Absolutely it's not very cool, but since marijuana is technically illegal, unscrupulous cs owners feel they can get away with it. I wouldn't be surprised if "rebranding" occurs on a much larger scale than previously thought.

I think in a few of these cases it's a house-brand(an own cross). But in general it's caused by the fact its illegal and no one regulates it. At the end, guess what , it's all about money again. Organized crime rules.

Another thing when it comes to the downsides of dutch drug policy is that there are no hygiene regulations(or other regulations) for illegal growers as for the legal stuff they grow for pharmarcies in the Netherlands(if it's still available, haven't heard of it for a while). Bummer!

And so on and so on.

Glad to see you liked popeyes one of my favs and the kush is just fantastic there. I was the exact same when i first saw it from outside (,dingy, Sh*t-hole) but boy my opionion changed once i made a few purchaces there me and the wife were kindly offered a shot of the peace pipe so cool been back every time, SURELY BASJOES WASNT TO BAD.

SURELY BASJOES WASNT TO BAD.

Did he go to Basjoe's? All I read was a mention of the Heaven Haze, but not a report. Maybe I missed something.
