Just some things I've gathered from the forum
Posted: Sun 14th Mar 2010 05:25 pm
Hello all -
So I've been reading lots of reviews of coffee shops and weeds/hash to try -- I did this just for my own use - but thought that I might share my findings - get input - and someone else might find helpful.
I did a lot of cut and pasting - because this was for my own use - didn't think I'd be sharing - I didn't "site" my sources - most info is just from you all - some from other websites - anyway if this isn't cool me reposting stuff people said without siting let me know and I'll delete.
I thank you all for your great info -- looking forward to adding to my info as I learn new stuff --
If you are wondering - I used to be an event/meeting planner so yes I like to plan things
I hope you enjoy --- yes it's long....

Barney's - Haarlemmerstraat 102 (625 97 61).
• Utopia Haze from Barney's, grabbed 2gram... really love this stuff. Barney’s, for 5 grams
• Red Dragon...super spongey to the touch, and boy is it absolutely caked with trichs! – good for morning wake and bake Barney's Red Dragon - A cross between Utopia Haze and Pink Kush, a great great great sex weed. Soft and spongy, it smokes smooth and was a real fav!
• Dr Grinspoon Much like GA pure sativa, you can't go wrong. A little costlier (like many of my favs) but worth the price IMO.
• G13xHaze –
• Bong likes the Vanilla Kush
• close to Central Station. If you arrive early by train this might be a good first stop. The extensive breakfast menu, and the fact that its served all day long, is the main attraction of Barney's. All food is prepared with organic ingredients, and what's more, even the weed is organically grown. A few doors down is Barney's brasserie with meals and alcohol to go with your smoke.
Open daily 7am-8pm.

• NYCD; Chocolope SUPER QUALITY! Highly recommended and Laughing Buddah
• Rifman Aziza (14/g) was very nice, too... it smells very sweet and it was so fresh
• Very comopolitian look to it – very modern
• Melana Cream –
• white russian was awesome - i feel this was the best smoke of whole trip not as it was cheap but it killed us all within 5 minuetes had a lovely wierd kind of creamy taste loved it.
• cheese & tibizla hash is good
• bublegum was better lovely taste - laughing buddah and white russian. both good for daytime tripping
• hot chocolate from here, I had never seen anything like it and also their pancakes were awesome and fairly reasonable by Amsterdam price standards at 4.50e for a nice big pancake with syrup
• try a pre rolled moonshine joint 8e
• hash cake from here which was very light moist and tasty, unlike many space cakes in amsterdam and had a covering of chocolate cream. Weed space cakes were available in muffins
• Dampkrings II« MENU is prob the best in town and on last trip became my Wake and bake shop «the budtender are prob the coolest Buds in town he knew by second day what i wanted to smoke each wake! (think cause i told him on first visite that was here for the Cheese) Mexican Haze at Dampkring, it has a nice clear headed high that leaves you feeling functional.
Picasso - Haarlemmerstraat 8 1013 ER Amsterdam
• Diesel, white widow Close to hotel – small place less expensive than some others
• its fun - better seats upstairs with a piece of cubism - Bubblegum t had a lovely flavour
GreenHouse Lounge –
• I'd have to rate the Alaskan Ice as the top smoke, closely followed by the Hawaian Snow. The Strawbery Haze smelt really fruity allthough I'm not sure it was a strawberry smell. It was a really nice smoke but expensive at 14E per g. The Alaskan Ice came with recommendations from 2 budtenders (they refer to it as "Alaska Nice") and was prob the best sativa I sampled this trip - there is a glass floor that is truly unique downstairs
Greenhouse Tolstraat 91 (673 74 30).
• One of the best in town, according to the jury of the Cannabis Cup. It has won several awards, so worth the detour from city centre. Greenhouse is a coffeeshop on two levels, with an upstairs pool room, and a colorful interior with beautiful mosaics throughout. Relaxed atmosphere and good food, for a coffeeshop at least. Open daily 9am-1am. [47 reviews, avg 9/10]
• Super Lemon Haze***many recommendations **
• admittedly, very cool, indeed. The in-floor fish tank is mind blowing! –
• OG Kush …luv that smell! Bong rates the smoke. OG Kush: 8.5 out of 10 – good food - EXCELLENT lattes
Amnesia is the best of the rest.
• Sour Diesel –****
• Good milkshakes chocolate one the first time, last time I discovered the mocha one.
• Quazar Haze 34e - *smoked the quazar in two fatties and it was a hit with the mrs as well, really really a great horny weed. loved it, 1 or 2 on any list moving forward. **** must get*****
• LSD
• MKultra was out of this world.
• Manali Cream - hash
• Laughing Buddah********
• F*cking perfect décor to complement the name…this place is trippy!
• REALLY like the Pink Kush, man. You can't go wrong!"= Nice and warm, and quite strong, body stone that came on pretty quickly Was great for sex,
Ben
• 3g/Lemon Haze 40e *this weed was instant boner, no not Boner, but a boner! wife said the same things, that her body was tingling all over and she wanted a little special time
Katsu
• Black Widow! Black Widow always makes everyone chatty and giggly – og 18
Paradox
• was tops. When I was last there (May04) the music was mellow (Etta James and Crowded House) and the place exuded the sophisticated charm of its Jordaan canal-side locale. There is a ton of reading material (mostly Dutch) and the foods and fruit juices are great.
Old Church!
• I love this place at night, especially when it's raining outside and the streets are illumintaed by a sparkle of red light off the wet cobbled floor. The top floor is a nice place to crash out with a bong in hand. -- old church as I love the cosmopolitan atmosphere, also their prices were good and the staff were friendly
Easy Times and Tops;
• great owners and bud-tenders, very clean shop (toilets were very clean), reasonable prices, excellent coffee and right along a great canal. Tried 24 shops in the Dam, including the highest rated ones on several days at different times, and these two shops are the best, IMO.
Their menus were extensive; the quality of their weed and hashes were the finest I had. Their Cheese was the best cannabis strain I tried during this trip. Their own special Moroccan hash is a beautiful color, fresh texture and aroma and the only thing that came close was the Isolator at WW Sinsemilla in Haarlem. Kudos to the folks at these shop for they seem to work hard at making their customers feel welcome and satisfied with their purchases.
The dolphin «
• downstairs love to sit and look at them walls « i mostly go late at night on way back to hotel to relax and smoke some White dolphin -- Dolphins for me, I love the place, Nothing better for me than to chill out on the couches downstairs with a cheese and ham toasty and a chocomel after a great joint and a few goes at the vaporiser. - The Dolphins next and another quality shop, air conditioning, free internet and the White Dolphin house brand is great. bought two large pure rolls for 8e each (fantastic value for this great great smoke!) Dolphins - 2 tables on either side of the room with 3 table-mounted vaporizers – cool inside - Royal Dolphin Hash and a gram of White Dolphin.

• if were simply talking about quality of bud – chocoloupe ***MUST*** is well worth a purchase Chocolope did have a very fruity taste, and a good wake n bake type high, and the grey mist crystals are legendary. Grey Area Equatorial Sativa - 16.50e a gram but worth every penny. Do not smoke this weed immediately after smoking another sativa, you will waste your money. This is a great first smoke in the morning to get your gears going and have a productive day. Equatorial Sativa and The Wobbler - Grey Myst - greyberry haze is the tastiest weed I've ever smoked – (Silver Bubble ***) OH Kush
• Golden Soles was some of the best hash I found in the Dam

• quality//comfort I would choose - due to their selection and the fact that they have 4 Volcano balloons so there's no waiting, and they have HUGE bags on them. Tommy the owners son is a cool cat. Enjoy. -- Homegrown Fantasy is the most comy CS in A/dam. I always like what ever is on their menu. Say Cheese!*** MUST TRY*** - Home Grown Fantasy, also try the sour kush, amazing indica, and awesome taste, very different from the cheese.

• without at least trying something on the menu, so i ask what’s really good today? Bas Special, 11e a gram is the response. HmmmI rolled a 1 gram pure and FOOOOOP! My head is feeling awesome. Underline AWESOME. Terminator Bas Special - Really great pleace!! When entered here I really understood the meaning of "good vibe". - Cheese was REALLY GREAT - daylight away from the main drags, so it appears to attract folks who are keen on smoking rather than just tourists trying it for the first time.

420 café - Oudebrugsteeg 27 - 1012 JN Amsterdam www.420cafe.com and www.coffeehouseculture.com
• 420 haze from, easily the best tasting haze I tried
• Super Silver Haze has always been my first smoke of any trip (if the place is open!) and is a fine start to a busy day - the NYCD is also a firm favourite - great flavour, and of the hashes they serve there, I have to say the Parvati Creme always does the trick for me
• New York Diesel was a nice smoke - it tasted like candy on my lips and tongue on the inhale
• Have vaporoizers , distinctive feature is the friendly bring-your-own food policy. This is cool because Oudebrugsteeg, where de Kuil is located, has a good selection of take-away food and cake shops (some open very late). pool table -its still good weed, just not the best...The guys working here and those just smoking all seemed to be cool guys....this place has a good atmosphere....if u havent tried it yet, then do....

• Mango Kush ** - Super Lemon Haze
• Blueberry Cheese ***MUST TRY*** from Green Place. Christopher Amsterdam tells me he paid 13 Euro/gram. He also says he’s seen it sold as: Bleu Cheese and Blue Cream Cheese. I love this stuff. Great high…great taste…oh yes…a new favorite Green Place... holy mother of god that stuff has some kick. we were pretty tired, but this stuff was the perfect "goodnight" sleeper. very strong taste, and punchy high... not sure about an actual "blue berry" taste, but it had a very unique flavor. - I say it’s a GREAT morning high!
HUNTERS –
• super silver haze and NYCD from Hunters which were both excellent
• NYCD is really fuckin' good
• fish tanks along the wall are great to lose yourself in! What is it about fish tanks when you have been smoking?! Grabbed some Lavender (E9/g) which is a nice little smoke, not too heavy, and some Amnesia Haze (E14/g), which is pretty expensive but seriously messed with my head. It really is pretty strong
