My upcoming trip

Post by whibberd »

Hi Guys,

Arriving on 10th November cant wait - me and the mrs have been twice before once in March this year.

On both of those occasions I have just gone to coffeeshops/smoker friendly bars without really knowing they best weeds or places to go.

For example we spent alot of time at Prix Dami, Route 66, Stones and Lost in Amsterdam. We even went to a bulldog place and got some weed which i thought was really good (but reading on here you guys dont like the place!) certainly much better than anything i can get here any way.

So this time round I have stumbled across this site and alot of useful reviews and advice.

My Plans this time are to visit, Grey Area, Basjoes, Homegrown Fantasy, Dolphins and Dampkring. Can anyone suggest anywhere else?

Also I can see all of the menus available but to be honest im not really a weed expert have been smoking for about 7 years over here ranging from crap stuff to pretty good stuff but i dont really know alot about what im smoking.

What im specifically looking for is a nice morning daytime smoke that wont knock me out but will get me feeling good and slanty eyed if you know what i mean and a couple of heavy strains for late afternoon/evening smokes. Can anyone recommend anything for me?

Also I have tried hash whilst im there but im only used to soap bar to be honest which is disgusting - whats a good hash at the moment?

Also how do i roll the stuff burn and sprinkle as with soap bar?

Anyhelp on any of the questions above would be great! Or if anyone wants to meet up at the same time im there and educate me that would be great!

thanks

my first suggestion is to read the travelogues as they come in, they will have the latest strain/shop/price information

my second suggestion is to go to basjoe and have the orange bud or jack herer to start the day, then have the bas special or the amnesia haze or the cheese for the afternoon and evening, and for hash i think either the royal hash (moroccan) or the cream special (manali cream type hashish) will do the trick

enjoy your trip ...

ps you have been before so you know to be wary of the fast and crazy bicycles

Stick to these general rules:

Sativas or Maroccan hash to keep you alert (daytime). Super Silver Haze and Amnesia Haze are well known strains that can be found in many places and are usually good. Anything with Haze in its name is sativa-dominant.

Indicas to knock you out. If you see the word kush or cheese then go for it.

Hash generally doesn't need burning before crumbling but sometimes does, especially if it is cold.

Very generally hash can be split between Moroccan and black. Black gives more of a body stone.

If you want reliable hash, just get Rifman hash from Dampkring set of shops. Generally good value and you always get good quality.

Don't buy the cheapest hash or weed on the menu as it is usually shit. If you want a weaker joint, buy something more expensive and use less of it. Same goes for the most expensive shit on the menu, often times it is not worth it.

Also, you can ask the budtender what is good at the moment. I only ask this in good places where I can trust the dealers i.e. where they take pride in their products e.g. Grey Area, Tweede Kamer, Barneys, Hunters, 4/20 (De Kuil). Ask this question in the wrong place and they may well give you their worst shit.
