The gear from USB Labs is better for consistency of taste, high, presentation, and selection. However, AMS has some strains that are unique and enjoyable but the overall quality of the gear (weed) is better at home...Hash=hands down AMS... 8)

Sometimes its not bad but, most of the time its the Mexican brick garbage. I'd take Amsterdam/Holland for the relative consistency.

I thought Chichester was proper posh, plus you're only a couple of miles away from the coast.
The English Channel? is it a sea and POSH is the problem, if i spark a joint the whole area knows about it. The pubs are like a brighton sausage party, its a nice place and thats it.

Oh and no Weed shops here either

voted amsterdam because the vast majority i've gotten there is better than i've gotten at home with only a very few home buys being better.

that and i can just leave the apt/hotel to get some green in amsterdam, it's a lot harder in Edinburgh!! :D

Voted Amsterdam due to the reason that it is more a hit and miss at home but mostly a miss.

I live in the Netherlands nowadays, but "back home" the weed was better at its best, but not as good on average, and always more expensive. Any weed I've smoke in the 'Dam pales in comparison to the finest stuff I've had from friends, bur especially nowadays the situation in my home country is pretty dire if you don't personally know growers. Get ready to pay 17-20€ for a gram that is more like 0.8 and may or may not contain a stem, a bit of leaf, and a bit of moisture.

Soapbar starts at 10 euros and can go for as much as 16. There are varying levels going from a henna/beeswax mix to something like the cheap Moroccan you can get in coffeeshops at either end of that price spectrum, so you never know what you're getting.

Holland resoundingly beats NY for availability, variety and quality. No contest.

i live in the south of holland , and visit bout 10 coffeeshops on weekly basis.

Amsterdam is great cuz there are sooo many diffrent strains .
But the quality isnt consistent in amsterdam , and lots of cr4pshops.

The coffeeshops in Sittard are very consistent , weed is always good grown .

Maastricht isnt consistent at all , because so many tourists come around .
Theyll sell ya the wettest stuff they can find

amsterdam for choice and overall standard. prague for standard but little choice. uk- most dealers sell a strain iv named cabbage, utter garbage and not worth smoking. that being said i got some kushxsourdieslel few weeks back in uk which was better than anything ever had in the dam. it was if anything too strong (did i just type that!).

i only buy weed in uk off 1 guy (well its a group of guys contantly moving from person to person through the day but the same number and bags) i get 2g for £20 it tends to be high grade thats flushed but can be damp sometimes, when i went to the dam i thought what i got was better but when i came back i really didnt want my local stuff, now its been a few months i must admit that the main thing for me is the variety, the fact that i choose what i want, it works out cheeper in england but even if it is ssh noone knows and they all just call it cheese... cheese cheese cheese all i ever hear cheese cheese cheese cheese (hmm chino xl & playalitical seems to be ringing through my head!)

Perhaps one day you can make the connection(s), until then, there is nothing in my world here remotely comparable for the variety and quality.
