Start your day there!

Rookies open at 10:00. Coffee is good enough if a bit pricy. You can get juice, pie, etc and they also carry Looza IIRC.

Weed: not the best, not the worst. They will normally have something from €8-13.

Same with hash. No prob to smoke your own stash as long as you buy a drink.

I really loved the place when you could stay upstairs for €45 for a single and it was also a bar.

Obviously they no longer have alcohol, and the upstairs is now a hostel.

You're in a good spot to explore westerly a bit.

Hi all, just a quick trip log as we chill in our awesome leidseplein apartment at the end of day 2 in this wonderful city! we haven't strictly followed the plan but with us being in a large group we've probably sampled 10/15 variatond of hash/isolator and around 40 strains. My personal list is as follows, will add more tomorrow (we may head to katsu/de graal and a few others):

Rookies -
Champagne Haze - 1g 13.9e - Nice smoke but the flavour is a little too subtle, very nice looking 7/10

Kosher kush - 1g 13.9e - pretty tasty but prefer my friends kandy kush (smokeys) and pure kush/og kush (1e hulp) 7/10

Smokeys -
Bugglegum - 1g 13e - first time trying this strain, very enjoyable 7.5/10

Chocolope - 1g 13e - favourite smoke of my last trip (2013) not so much this time but a unique taste nonetheless - 5.5/10

Super Polm - 1g 10e? - decent enough tasting pollen - 6/10

Today we headed to 1e hulp first, which myself and my friend had been anticipating for weeks and we weren't let down! Personal haul:

Strawberry Sour Diesel - 1.5g 18e - wonderful taste and high, best looking bud of the trip so far! 8/10

Pure Kush - 1g 12e - as previously mentioned one of the best kush variations I've tried so far 7.5/10

S5 Haze - 1g 12e recommended by the very friendly BT as I asked what haze she recommended as I couldn't decide between ssh and soma's amnesia, not properly sampled this but was quite nice in a bifter with my mates Nepalese tempal ball 7/10

Royal Cream Deluxe - 1g 6e - lovely creamy hash - 8/10 for value alone

We hung out in the shop for a bit playing cards and smoking all sorts of crazy mix joints, I went to the bar and decided it'd be rude to leave here having only bought 4.5g so I got .6g of the critical mass for 5e, lovely with the RCD, 7/10

We continued on to grey area, greenhouse lounge and barneys:

Grey Area -
Silver bubble - 13e? - wonderful


Barneys -
Tangerine dream - 16e? - best taste of the trip hands down

Green house - afghoeey - not bad

Stand out buys from my friends:

Menali cream - rookies
Panama haze - green house
liberty haze - barneys
Strawberry Sour Diesel - 1e hulp - 4 of us bought this, so Many strains include a fruit in their name but this is one of the few where the comparison is truely warranted, absolutely lovely 9/10 on second opinion!
elephant - 1e hulp - looks great in the bag
