Will do!! I'm over start of April & September for a few days to chill out. Any good info on the mushrooms??Cal X wrote:Hey Chrismonsta! Most of the shops on Haarlemmerstratt are over priced and very commercial, because this is a very high foot traffic area. Picasso and Popeye have better prices and are nice shops! If you want to try Barneys Farm Gear you can go to Amnesia, same owners; most ACD people prefer it to Barneys. The Vanilla Kush is usually a heavey-hitter: as is the Sleasestack. Grey Area is a very short walk from Amnesia, they, arguably, have some of the best gear in town. The Casey Jones and the L.A Confidential have been top notch lately! Not far fom G.A is Abraxas, the the John Sinclair is not to be missed. The Super Silver Haze has been good at Hunters as of late as has the Chem Dog at De Kroon. Directly across from De Kroon is 420 which is usually has top choices. While in that area, Prix de Ami has had some very good S5 Haze. Also, Basjoe and the Green Placechrismonsta wrote:What are the best weeds to get you completely smashed? Also how do you rate Barneys, The Green House, Popeyes and all the other coffee shops in that area?
always have good gear.
Keep looking at the Strains forum for some ideas before your trip. Who
knows, the Dampkring, or, even the Green House may have something
irresistible! Have a blast Dude.

Just got back from Amsterdam on the 6th and i was very disappointed with the quality of the weed. The best smoke i had was Amnesia Haze from CS Central. Bought a gram of the Black Widow from Katsu and was not impressed at all. Bought a gram of Silver Tip from Yo-Yo and when i went to break it up with my fingers it felt oily. I'd say half the joints i rolled had to be constantly relit due to poor drying/curing. Some weed even had an "air freshner" artificial smell to it, like it had been sprayed with something to enhance the smell. After the Silver Tip incident i started buying weed by the 1/2 gram. If i liked it i'd go back and buy more. Never did find any weed that really knocked my socks off.

It's only been a few months since my last trip and I didn't experience any problems with quality, from any shop including those you mentioned. It might be because I don't smoke much at home and it all seems good to me or maybe I am just blinded by being eternally grateful that there is a place like Amsterdam I can go to smoke and relax without being persecuted, but I've never had reason to complain.burn001down wrote:Just got back from Amsterdam on the 6th and i was very disappointed with the quality of the weed.

The only poor weed from last trip was the NY Diesel I got from Rokerij. Man, it was chemically, very harsh and gave me a headache for hours. But thats the only time, ever, it has happened.

This is some funny shit. 
You'll be in town in April and September? As suggested, check about a week before you arrive. Shit changes all the time, especially so after 4-5 months. Who knows, Barney's could lower their prices, after hell freezes over that is. Maybe hell will freeze over by then, it's fucking cold enough already.
De Kabouter has had some nice hyrdo Amnesia, and their house brand Kabouter Special Haze was nice as well. The prices were/are unreal, 8.50/gm for Amnesia and 10/gm for the Special.
