Apologies for no pics at all just the essential details this time! me & my girl, 5 days in heaven.
Hunters
1g Blue Cheese 12e/g- meh. bland & overpriced.
Green Place
1g Pineapple Kush 14e- incredible pineappley smell in the tub, nice smoke but doesn’t live up to the tub appeal & the smell disappears pretty quickly when bagged up.
1g Amnesia 666 (?e/g)- good example.
1g Chocolope 10e/g- nice for the price, similar to white choco from boerjongens
Voyagers
1g Purple Strawberry Bliss 13.50- looks like scraggly schwag but tastes purple-fruity & pleasant high. Not as good as last year tho.
3g OG Kush 15e/g- best weed of trip. Worth the price, very strong and kushy, small dense nugs. Popular with locals & regs.
1g Kandy Kush 10e- Very nice for the price. A watered-down OG kush.
1g Lemon Haze 10e- Decent lemony haze.
1g Shoreline 12e- tasted ok, not that strong
1/2g Tuesday Tasting Special 10e/g- tasted similar to the lemon haze
De Graal
2x10e deal Thai weed- this was really good this time, nice and fresh. Very good for mixing with hash or whatever.
10e deal Kashmir- authentic dark squidgy hash, a treat
10e deal Amnesia- again, lovely & fresh- best amnesia in town?
Grey Area
1g LA Woman 13e- don’t remember much about this, can’t have been too special
1g Yellow Cab 9.50e- not as good as last time. Has the price gone up>? A good filler but too expensive for what it is
1g Chiesel 13e- more grapefruit, less cheese than last time (jan)
0.5g Golden Soles (12 or 13 e/g?)- decent maroc hash. nothing outstanding.
Spirit
This is possibly my favourite c/s?.. cosy, arcade/pinball machines, snacks, i could stay here all day
1g Maroc Ice 11e- kind of like a fresh polm.. liked it a lot
1g Silver Haze 12e- pretty much perfect example of the strain
1g Diesel 11e- super-grapefruit. If you want grapefruit... get this.
Utopia
Hadn’t been here before. Friendly, comfortable place with some good weed & music
2x1g Honey Haze 11e/g- sweet-tasting strong haze, good price
1g Edelweiss 10e- heard good things on the forum but not really impressed.. standard fluffy generic green
1/2g Grand Cru (14e/g)- nice.. tasted like king hassan-type hash
Paradox
5e deal Thai weed- decent, not as fresh as de graal’s
toasties
Betty Boop
1g Hindu Kush 12e- not a very good exmple of the strain. OK high.
Haarlem- Birdy
Finally took the train ride out to haarlem, it’s totally worth it- beautiful town on a nice day, and birdy is a great coffeeshop as well. Spent about an hour chatting to an american couple who lived there, very chilled place
10e Amnesia- good example of the strain
2x 10e Jelly Hash- Wow, excellent hashy taste & strong kick, like this a lot!! exceptionally gooey!
all 3 for 25e
Club Media
1g Pot of Gold 9e- very nice with hash or on it’s own
1g Lemon Skunk 10e- excellent citrus zing, good example
2g Zooltjes 24e (12e/g)- Best hash of trip. Possibly the best maroc hash I’ve ever had. Incredibly sweet-tasting, deeply satisfying high. If you’re into hash... don’t miss this. I think this was the fave hash of my last trip too.
1e Hulp
First time in here, friendly helpful staff, cool interior, 2 friendly cats, great product- I'm impressed!
1g Tangerine Dream, 13.50e/g- very nice sativa
1g Edelweiss 8e/g- really good for the price! recommended
1/2g BHO 27.50e- kept in the fridge.. stayed semi-solid at room temp tho, put a blob on the outside of a spliff and if bubbles happily, sliding down as you go. Send the body to sleep but leaves the mind clear. Quite a strange experience.
Stix
1g Blue Cheese 12.50e- don’t remember. As always, the budtender will try to upsell.
Dampkring
1/2g Waterworks (60e/g)- awesome. so pure and get you sky-high instantly. Recommended without reserve. I smoke this in a joint mixed with thai or skunk.
1/2g Waterworks (40e/g)- on a separate day-accidentally walked out without paying! the tender said goodbye to me and everything..
Didn’t buy weed in:
Hill Street Blues- Best & cheapest drinks in town, love it in here although the continuous loud dn’b can get a bit much. Hill Street Special toastie is spicy mince- surprisingly, extremely delicious! highly recommended, I ate lots of these
420- coolest place to chill in the dam, best music
Homegrown Fantasy- was ok, outdoor durban looked nice 8e/g i think, didn’t buy
Freeland- a bit grimy, upstairs kind of cool
Lost In Amsterdam- not a coffeeshop but you can smoke in there and buy the incredibly expensive drinks, cool window seat/bed, big interior with several sections suitable for large groups, friendly staff & haughty cat
several others that i don’t remember..
hope this was useful to some of you guys
oh, and about the weedpass.. where to start? i spoke to various people with various opinions.. the guys at the green place was worried.. most others are defiantly skeptical.. ultimately, we'll have to wait and see how it pans out. It goes without saying, every last person i spoke to thought the idea of a wietpass as unworkable and a big step backwards in terms of crime in the city
