have been to the Dam more times than I can remember and of course the last few times have not been as exciting as the first few times (as can be expected) but I still get that thrill everytime I get off the train and head into the city. Now if the only thing that you like about Amsterdam is the weed then yes you may get let down at times but for me the place is a lot more than just a legal place to smoke.
Regarding quality of smoke- I find it hard to believe that GA / DNA genetics folks are not producing weed that is to your standards....also if you are a heavy smoker then of course no weed is going to blow your socks off no matter what.
Maybe for you Mokum has played itself out or you need to space out the visits for more effect. other than that let's all chill....

First of all, I don't advertise the Nes on here..the closest I've got was updating the menu when we WERE a coffeeshop, but apart from that I only reply to other peoples post concerning it. I'm on this site for my own personal use. Our main customer base is locals, regular ex-pats and bar/coffeeshop staff..... not internet stoners. However, if you feel I'm representing the Nes in a negative manner....put a complaint into the manager.noonansboy wrote: What gets me most is the fact that DC has the neck on him to talk shite and then advertise what CS he works in.

Keep up the good work DC.
P.S Dont ever go into promotional work dude.
I also hope I find my magic again.
(Not in the NES mind you).
I have my choice of brain-dead Irish dealers here at home.No need to get on a plane.
Talking shite?. Best selection of weed getting sold across a counter in Amsterdam is at the Grey Area, with the LA confidential being probably the best weed about at the minute...sorry, I'm just going on the word of dealers and growers in town here, so I could be wrong!.
Anyway, over priced?..maybe...too small? Deffinately...but 'over hyped piece of shit' comin from a guy that get's his weed through the post and has a dire selection of locations to smoke it, and all just because ya didn't enjoy yerself in the Grey Area!......Yeah, whatever you say mate. ....not that there's anything wrong with internet stoners, well, 96% of them so far, that is.
For information purposes: The remaining 4% turned out to be total lunatics.
As for your magic....it's gettin smoked now, because do ya know who's getting the best deal in town?.....I AM.
Brain-dead Irish dealers....it's good thing I'm not Irish or ya could've been talkin to me there.

Interesting string, for sure and I gotta say: sh@dy, well put. I said it before, Amsterdam is beloved for the freedom of herb as much as for the culture that CREATED that freedom. C'mon, how cool is it that we can actually bitch about an overly commercialized public weed selling and smoking establishment! It's kinda fun to be able to pass by a "la canna" and off to a 2e Kamer instead
...first off, the wife and I are rather lucky choosing to smoke "old school" - often and fat blunts of, er..."upper middle-class" weed that's nice on the brain & easy on the pocket (you even get that occassional 'soapy' haze or strong indica) and once & a while splurge on some 'kind bud' when something of exception crosses our path. Most of the kind that DOES cross our path are poorly cured pineapple looking buds that aren't worth the asking price so we rarely bother. Needless to say when we hit the 'dam it's ALL good (lol). We travelled from '96 to '01 six times and saw a steady increase in over-all quality in terms of more and more fluffy bud and less and less brown bud (first trip many shops had Nigerian, Durban, Jamaican & Thai and maybe 2 local green buds - that's why grey area & greenhouse took off like they did for us anyway) and, needless to say, we discovered the WONDERFUL WORLD OF HASJ .
Even with the rarity of ANY fluffy green bud at home we stopped travelling to the dam after '01 for a variety of reasons including the fact that it WAS no longer as special an experience. Had nothing to do with the weed, we just became accustomed with the town (street dealers stopped approaching us and lost tourist asked us for directions) and started to explore other vacation spots (with herb hidden in luggage). We waited too long and will be back in 32 days & counting!
Finally, I stumbled on this post from Jbomb back in March...
Sun 25/2
Barneys Lounge
1g White Widow - 8,5
Currently, the only weed in Barney’s menu under 10 Euro. Very strong, though. Very, very strong… actually strung me out a bit in the end. This WW may very be chem.-ed to hell, as has been the rumor about most of Barneys and Amnesia, and the weed was looking unnaturally green, like “glowing green.” More and more people in town seem to be sticking with Bio-organic weed more and more. Perhaps a trend?
Could it be that the alleged "lack of quality" lately has to do with amsterdam going bio and, perhaps, the herb lacks that special something that the chems provided?
Just a thought!
Hey, did I mention that the last time I had hasj 'round my way it was some supreme dark leb (my best guess based on the source) at $35US a gram and worth every penny (I bought him out every time 'till the US gov started to harrass his family and he had to stop) about 5 years ago? Hasj ALONE will keep many a stoner coming back.
Thanks for listening!

its bouquet sweet & pungent, its bite will roast
Sounds like a bit of chin stroking there Noonansboy
This/that/hash/weed/music/telly/whatever always used to be better, just like Topic bars were bigger and the summers were hotter...
I've got pals living in Belfast, perhaps you could hook them up if you can get better than GA's gear? They all say the same thing as DC... a permission to sell soap bar type affair, f*ck that!
In fairness, you are welcome to an opinion - of course! ........... BUT, I don't agree with it, 9/10 folks who sample GA's stuff wouldn't agree with it either and some folk here actually know their shit... I've personally sampled their stuff and I found it tasty, well dried and cured well. And their nepal cream stands up to the temple ball from stix or the temple ball from WW in Haarlem, so either your mates grew up in the highlands of Nepal or they don't know the difference between Coke and Pepsi! You're talking like everything they sell is utter, utter shit - do you not conceed that's perhaps ... a bit harsh? If all you go for is potency of weed, stick to mail order and save yourself the flight - it's the freedom to smoke and buy different strains (in turn different tastes, effects etc) over the counter in the company of many other cannabis tourists from different places around the globe.
Also, if you're looking for something to kick your ass I'd go indica, not sativa hazes ... i don't class those as kicking your ass, but a good indica that will have you rooted to your seat after a J ... that's my def of an ass-kicking

i have access to medicinal marijuana in canada, as well nice indoor organic home grown herb as well as some great outdoor weed. and i must say i have found comparible in amsterdam on every visit... mind you i did have to try many many strains to be disapointment once and while.. but fuck im disapointed once and while where im from with the weed i get or grow here......
i think because tehre is so much variety in amsterdam you have to look a little harder to find the gem...
i also must agree with dr gonzo that maybe after so many years its lots its flavour for ya... are u doing new things?? maybe try out some different shit .. might turn your knob a bit more so to say.. hahah
and by the way.. the nes was a great spot to get some good herb.. and i must say i cant wait to go back and bring my own while hanging out drinking some brew... nice cozy little spot
best of luck on future trips dude...hope ur magic comes back on ur next trip...

I have for the last 2 years being getting bud and hash from your own fine country and have found more variety and potency from this source which I believe to be a step above the likes of 'The Grey Area'.
Its price is also way less than half of what you pay in the 'Dam.
I also believe that the true test for smoke is to do it in your own front room with your choice of surroundings,people and music.
Thanks again for all your SENSIBLE comments.

Please stfu about your super weed in belfast, i live 20 miles away and I agree with DC Northern Ireland is a poor country for scoring, scum selling shit is what I think, you are a typical belfast person matey all mouth no balls, fucking mc cooies, (slang for a belfast mouth where i come from) if you hate the Dam so much dont go, stay in your little dirty shitty city, full of gluesniffers and terrorists and smoke your super soapbar. BTW Belfast is a shithole and the ppl in it cretins of the highest order. And if you are going to someones hometown to meet them face to face, bring back up. I get the feeling that mouth has got u a few kickings before. lol I just love you mc cooies. I suppose you are coming to sort me out next, i live in magherafelt mate feel free.noonansboy wrote:DC wrote: comin from a guy that get's his weed through the post and has a dire selection of locations to smoke it
What the fuck are you talking about you prick?
A dire selection of locations?
Please explain.
I really cant wait to pop over to the NES in person and actually meet you.

magherafelt ahhh...that explains it all you inbred fuck.
The internet may have made it to magherafelt but I see reading lessons have not.
Please state where on this forum I have ever said anything about "sorting" someone out.
Also please state where I said about EVER smoking soapbar.
I understand that this is some under-taking for the likes of yourself so ill be patient in expecting your reply.
And people keep saying our countrys troubles are behind us.
Christ m8 wise-up and stop playing the hard-man routine.Its boring and pathetic.

Ah well.
Public forum I guess.

Im sure his employers are delighted.
Keep up the good work DC.
