I was very happy that the Aladin´s chocolate was top notch hash on my last visit. I like this shop very much because the owner is so friendly and I like the atmosphere there. But the quality of their hash was not the best on my last visits. This time it was a completely different batch then I got the times before. Very dark super oily hash melt likes lava with an great taste and a great strong up high. The Aladin´s Chocolate was one of the best hashes on my last trips to amsterdam...

dropped by for a buy-and-fly a few days ago.

pink kush:

bought this based on a recent trip report.
it has a very non-kush'y sweet and spicy smell with a hint of public toilet.
the buds look ok, though not as rich in trichromes as you would expect from such a rather high priced weed.
it is not sticky at all, when preparing it for a joint, so i assume it is another batch than the one mentioned in the trip report.

with this weed i found it hard to distinguish a specific taste and the joint wasn't much of a pleasure to smoke, and caused little to no effect on me.

looks: 4/10
smell: 4/10
smoke: 0/10
effect: 0/10

->not recommended

vanilla kush

i wasn't sure if that trip report recommended vanilla or pink kush, so i bagged both.
this bud is a lot more hairy and dense in trichromes. the smell is very artificial and consists of a very strong vanilla flavour and a hint of the same 'public-toilet-spices' as the pink kush.
again, there is no stickyness, but at least the buds are not as weirdly compressed as in some other places in adam.

the smoke is very unspectacular. all the weird aromas from before are gone and i feel like i am smoking a slightly spicy cigarette. again, little to no effect.

looks: 5/10
smell: 0/10 if you are looking for something smelling like weed; 7/10 if you are looking for something smelling like vanilla
smoke: 1/10
effect: 0/10

->not recommended

thanks for that man. I read the same trip report and was actually looking forward to trying the pink kush (btw the report recommends both). It looks like you saved me some Euros :D
I've never been to Popeyes either and was looking forward to going....oh well.
