Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

Hi, does anyone have any ideas where the best place is to find cheap strains, like Thai, Jamican columbian etc. I only want to use them as a substitute for tobacco as I'm not too keen on the herbal substitutes. I seem to remember seeing Thai at something like 2eur a gram a couple of years ago but cant remember for the life of me where!

Anyday do a Mexican 5 grams for €12.30 http://www.black-arts.org/~reatta/Menus ... spliff.jpg

Carmona do 4 grams of thai for 12

Sanementereng has a great variety of cheap import weeds, African, Thai, and Jamaican. The also have some cheap Dutch outdoor/green house grown weed too... This is the way I have always smoked spliffis in Amsterdam. I can remember when most c/s in Amsterdam had at least one of these imports on their menus, they are getting harder and harder to find...

Homegrown fantasy do a Durban Poison grown in greenhouses for 5Eur a gram.

Their purple is a nice cheap filler too, beautiful looking buds....

can anyone of you who tried this filling with cheap weed thing.....doesnt it change the taste so you dont taste much of the actual strain you are smoking? I always wanted to try it, but I was afraid the taste of the nice hazes I bought wouldnt be there when filled with other weed

i just used orange bud as a filler in dam. that way even the filler is of good quality.

I think they mean as a filler instead of tobacco... Tobacco is the best thing to deaden the taste of anything! A pure blunt of your fav strain is ideal, but not practical if you want to start smoking in the morning and still be awake by mid-day... A good import weed does the trick nicely. I love to smoke big fat pure joints of this kinda stuff all day long and save the heavy strains for my evenings.

Dont know i agree with that. The flavours given to blunts often effect taste.

The best way to taste the weed you bought is through a new clean glass pipe. Again not always practical. Im quite a big bong user but dont usually go for that in amsterdam, i just roll with tobacco ( as long as its a tobacco smoking place/they dont mind tobacco being smoked.) Its not like you use alot of tobacco anyway ( well you shouldnt be using alot of tobacco.) A mix of 80/90% weed 20/10% tobacco dont really effect the taste.

Now days in 'Dam i think i will pick up at my faveourite spots but find a good tobacco friendly place to smoke in, Pink Floyds looking like the most likey.

i say just try smoking pure.. really much nicer.

however if i had to choose to mix.. i would also prefer maybe 10%-20% thai herb instead of tobacco...

really if it thats small of an amount of mix, then it really wont affect the strong taste of the more powerful or tasty stuff... i would think doing it with thai or mexican or something of the like would be much better than using the weird herbal mixes they are offering as a substitute right now..

I don't mean the American kind of hollowed out cigar blunt, just a big phat pure spliff of awesome bud... The flavour is unadulterated! As a non smoker even the slightest 'fleck' of tobacco completely dominates the taste (and smell for that matter) of a spliff for me...

Using 10% thai weed should change the taste more than thz 10% baccy. Any weed will taste and smell stronger than baccy, especially if you go with a light brand...

Maybe because i'm used to smoking cigs too though (3-4/day.... can't smoke a J after lunch in the office or at school!) and thai weed in france does smell and taste really strong...

If a slight fleck of tobacco would effect the taste then what about the tobacco the cigar wraps made out off? Always wondered that.

As i said im a fully proud bong user, but always feel awkward smoking it in 'dam. I always mix some tobacco in my joints, guess thats just the english wayl

Thanks for your help everyone, Admittedly normally I mix with a small amount fo tobacco and when I'm in Amsterdam I usually frequent tobacco friendly coffeeshops, but as I'm going to be living out there, at least for a while, from Tuesday I am guessing some of the more local coffeeshops to where I will be staying (Beverwijk) probably haven't got Tobacco areas and obviously at the moment I'm not sure of the policies, so I was thinking of using a cheap import weed to replace the baccy and bulk out the joint so that I'm not stuck out in the cold and although I will often choose to smoke pure high grade weed, its not always practical unfortunately.
