Is it better than amnesia haze?

It is Amnesia Haze

The budtender at Barney's just told me it's amnesia lemon x g13... Didn't buy it though

nothing special when we tried it.

agree with slip & sal.... it was okay.... barney's is just TOO fucking expensive though.

It's not that good pretty shit actually. I've never even had the urge to buy anything from barneys

I've never liked Barneys because of the treatment I got in there, and the price of average Tangerine Dream.

Although, saying that aren't the new strains in the Grey Area close to 17e?

then why do they always win the cup if there stuff always sucks.????...
....tangerine dream2010/ liberty haze 2011
why do grey area or voyagers never win the cup??????

Some are of the opinion that the competition is rigged and coffeeshops pay High Times off to win. Personally I don't buy into that theory. I think there's a few different reasons why Barneys or Greenhouse always win. First is brand name recognition, They are essentiallly the Coca Cola and Pepsi of the coffeeshop scene. Secondly they pamper the judges with gift bags and free gear. And a third factor which alot of people probably don't think about is they breed their own entries. I think this effects some judges sub-conciously because they automatically think Barneys or Greenhouses new creation are the strains to beat. If you look at the results of the coffeeshop cup over the past ten years one might think that their strains are on an elite level that can't be touched. Barneys or Greenhouse has won every single time in the last ten years, however if you look at the indica and sativa cup results you get a much different picture. They've combined for only one win in those categories in the last ten years. How can this be you ask? The sativa and indica categories are judged by a seperate closed panel of judges that test the strains blindly with no name brand attached and no gifts or freebies to sway their vote. I see the results of these two cups as a much better indicator of what new strains truely are the best. Kosher Kush has won the indica cup the last two years, but when Voyagers entered it last year they ended up with a fourth place result. I think this is mostly due to brand name recognition since Voyagers is a newer shop that alot of cup goers don't know about. I think if the coffeeshop cup was turned into a blind test with no name brands attached just like the indica and sativa cup you would quickly see Barneys and Greenhouse strains are not as elite as some cup goers think they are.

Moonshine Haze from Rare Dankness seeds won the sativa cup. I highly doubt you'll find it on any coffeeshop menu though.

All results from the past ten years
