xxbkrawkxx: I am glad to see that I am not the only one out there who takes of the great outdoors to heart, but not to worry. I am hardly a purist when it comes to the outdoors, or hash for that matter. (Almost half of my posts will describe indoor strains.) Besides, Marco has been ACD's resident expert on Chapiteau for a while now. What he writes about this neglected gem of a shop is a contribution to the boards.

You must care a lot , cause about 35% of your posts have been about policing this fine thread with meaningless comments. This site really does need a grandmother to tell us what to post and not post, thankfully you arrived to set us straight. On the other hand, if you are really looking for attention, you need to step it up. We had some good ones recently.

It must be troll season guys.

strain: Mexican Honey (indoor)
cs: De Supermarkt
€: 9.20/gr
odor: green tea and garlic

A pleasant smoke that tastes of garlic and leather.

This stuff clears the head. It’s evicted the funk the Durban’s left behind, and I’ve entered a positive frame of mind. As I sit here in my room, I’d venture to say I’d like to take this one for a walk, although it’s too dark for that now.

… okay, let me amend that last thought. Going for a walk is definitely out. Just now I went out on the balcony to get some fresh air, and looking out at an apartment building a few hundred meters away, I noticed the silhouettes of people running around behind the curtains. Or are they outlines of trees bending in the wind? Whoa.

The Mexican Honey has gained steam, and I’m happy I’m not doing anything active. It is spooky. It's kinda trippy. I can hear coots (those dark grey ducks with the white beaks) clucking outside in the wet darkness. The soft, recognizable sound is welcome, actually, since it’s helping me keep my mind properly tethered ... Back in the room again, I’ve turned on the TV and found what appears to be a 1960s documentary about South Africa. The black and white footage shows activists (?) speaking quietly to unseen interviewers. Listening to Dutch – when the stress of incidental communication at Albert Heijn is out of the picture – is wonderful.

I haven’t experienced a freaky high like this in a long time. The voice of the commentator pulls me in. I can feel the puff of cool air coming in from the balcony and hear the murmur of traffic coming from the city. I sense creative possibility in the mere act of observing things.

You know what, fuck it. Now that I have a handle on the high, I’d love to take this experience out into the greater world. I’d just try to avoid people. It’s somewhat trippy, and it strips the ordinariness from the ordinary. Unusual herb, this Mexican Honey.

Boner, Cisco: I hope I'm not over-selling the Mexican Honey. It's somewhat perception-altering. It has too transparent a high to be labeled as having USBL-caliber potency. That being said, most of the hothouse sativas I've tried – Dampkring's Mako Haze, GHS's SSH and Nachtegal's Amnesia come to mind – did almost nothing for me. Papillon's John Sinclair and 't Keteltje's S5 definitely set up camp in my head, but they were not particularly whoa-ish. Mexican Honey, on the other hand, was. It is the first heady sativa I've had since I ran into some mind-bending grass in London in 2003.

But the Mexican Honey is strong in its own way. There have been only two strains that made me want to stay in the hotel room for their weirdness. One was Barentsz' Silver Pearl (which I tried, unfortunately, right before heading back to Schipol), and the other was the MH.

De Supermarkt is indeed part of the Siberië/Loft/De Republiek chain, although who knows which locations besides De Supermarkt carry MH.

I'd like a comparison between the Mexican Honey & proper Kali Mist. Feel free to commence at any time. Nice write up.

Ok, how about we get back to Nederlandse buitenwiet!!

Sunshine from Chapiteau. They are done with the Purple Poison.

This is called Sunshine, again 4e/gram

Image

After half a joint of this, with some Polm Gold, I must say I am high as fuck :D :D

Feels like a Sativa, hopefully someone can tell me about the Sunshine strain, because I cannot find it online.

Its great, will be gracing many joints of mine until they run out. 4 EUROS!!!

Marco: Lovely. It is nice to see some leafy weed that actually looks like it came from a plant. And to get a sativa buzz from outdoor herb is always a special feeling. Thanks for the update from Chapiteau!

strain: S5 Haze (indoor)
cs: 't Keteltje
€: 11/gr
odor: Can't quite place this one. Green? Fudgy?

At first I walked right by this shop. It took a moment for the green and white coffeeshop decal to sink in. The shop was undergoing renovation – there was no sign on the exterior, and no finished walls or floor in the interior. All there was was a single table and an island for the till. The budtender looked rather odd, standing there behind his little island in the midst of empty space and plywood.

It took some time (and an extra hoot) for the S5 to get going, but now a friendly high has set in. I'm in the hotel room watching an absurd German music program for the 50+ crowd, and it all rolls by like a dream. It's a bouncy castle kind of dream, where nothing hurts. I want to say there is some indica in here, protecting me from the pointy corners.

OK, now – I am going to have a hard time explaining this – now I am watching a channel that appears to be experiencing an HDTV meltdown. The program has become all pixely, an unrecognizable facsimile of the underlying images. It's very psychedelic, and I'm just taking it in. And what the fuck is this?! Another station has decided to broadcast Freaks, the 1930s film whose cast is largely made up of ... circus freaks. The S5 flows gently in and around the madness.

I was expecting a headbanger, but that's not what this S5 Haze is about. It's a mildly mind-altering high coupled to an easygoing stone. Why not?

strain: Nimbin (outdoor, domestic)
cs: Homegrown Fantasy
€: 6/gr
odor: Unplaceable. A meadow, maybe. Sharp.

I'm smoking this one on top of a lot of other stuff, so let's see if it can punch through ... Oh, yes, the Nimbin is nice. It reminds me of Any Day's Durban Poison and its watch-the-sun-set high. It is fresher and its buzz is more assertive, though. The vibe is positive. I sit listening to the rain falling on the balcony ...

Someone else on these boards said s/he liked the Nimbin but couldn't see more experienced smokers going for it. I can picture anyone liking this, though. Who doesn't like feeling good?

Sorry about the long hiatus. Now I'm back to wrap this thing up.
