Indeed it is.
OP, you might want to spend some time looking through the forum. There are several threads with similar questions and should help you decide.
Peace

Sorry, it looks like Grasshopper is the only one closing on the April 13th. When are you going? The tourist ban is slated to start next month.

No there are a few other coffeeshops in Eindhoven. The Grasshopper is closing on 13 April. The tourist ban is supposed to start in the southern provinces, includes Eindhoven & Tilburg, on 1 May. Since you are planning to go after that, I would go to Amsterdam.

Harlem? other option...Amsterdam is full of them tourist traps its why a lot of ppl say it expensive ...most of what being sold in centrum at 12-13 or even 14-15 euro most of them strains can be found outside the tourist centre of things..going south or west like jordan area where locals hang out at always few euros cheaper

fuck them shop like barneys GH Grey area ...total toursit traps!! the ppl that will tell ya diffrent ARE tourist who cannot admit they are tourist going to tourist shop even if they have won the Cannabis Cup (woppy do da) < them strain that win good chance they either not going to look taste or smell the same these strain are groomed to be PORN WEED and fucking amazing (well some) are may not even be on the menu...BB is cheap at NOON

< always goes the job each yrip always get my 4gs at lease once for 23-25euro

< and best part ..is that i cannot remember went it ways that price since 2002 alway been the same

Groningen mate, a really beautiful city in the North. One of the jewels in Hollands crown I reckon. I've been there, the coffeeshops and gear are quality and it's certainly not Madsterdam. Go there or be forever unfullfilled, 2 or 3 days minimum. It's a great place to get stoned and relax, not mass tourist destination but not off the beaten track.

Yes man you would love it, I was there with my bike and it was cool place for bombing around. I'm a London cyclist so I can do traffic but what I remember about Groningen is it's quite a calm place, and the Coffeeshops are dotted about but it's not a big city.

. Have a good trip wherever you get to.
