I agree a with a lot of what you're saying. To be honest i have no problem with it. I havent been to the DAM as many times as you ( a lil jealous of that, gotta remedy asap )Kermit wrote:No way m8. I go 5 times a year and know my bud and beleive me quality differs throughout the year and has done for the last 13 years of visiting.Trichome_Dense wrote:Erm - It's all down to personal preference. Last years bud is just as good as this years bud. Some people are of the opinion that before skunk hit the scene in amsterdam - The weeds and hashes were of a better quality than they are now... I beg to differ on that.Kermit wrote: Thanks
So we are on about weed in general then. In that case it would be hard for me to choose from the weed in the Dam as quality changes. So what was good last year is normally not this year.My personal fav is my own Blue Mystic as it provides me with a nice aroma, taste and an good High (Not the best high but still good).

But it is interesting to note that Budtenders in coffeshops dont fall for the hype! Most budtenders, when asked about their favourite smoke or recommendation for a smoke - said that they smoke their bud like we smoke cigarettes - they stick to a brand! Silk Cut cigarette smokers wont go into a shop to buy a box of rothmans, in much the same way, tokers who are native to the netherlands keep to a specific herb. I found in general - the budtenders and locals went for the White Widow. And to be honest - at 7euros a gram it hit the spot in all ways. Some locals are even adamant about whre they purchase their White Widow from.
Bottom line is - Us tourists, when we're in amsterdam, we smoke everything. Get a confusing buzz, and all we can comment on is the taste and flavour of the buds... the highs get confusing after 2 or 3 different joints.
Peace... sorry for the essay.
As for the locals going for the white widow thats a no aswell. I like a smoke with the locals and last trip a popular strain was Amnesia Skunk @ the Dampkring II not very white widow to me. The locals follow the quality as with everyone else and the saying goes follow the locals.
As for not knowing one taste to the next maybe you need less tobacco in your spliffs because i certainly can taste the difference and buzz type between strains. TBH thats like saying why have a starter or pudding with your meal coz u aint gonna taste it.
enjoy
Dampkring II sell Cheese Skunk? whats this coz they sell cheese too?
My definition of skunk is the unique earthy undertones when smoked and that unique smell a burning joint gives off. Hence why skunk is in the name. (IMO)
and sorry to for the essay its just like the Police naming every crop they bust as skunk. Skunk this skunk that.
So i'll take your word for it! But I dont put much baccy in my scooby, and we could all actually taste the differences between hazes, indicas, etc.
The point I was making was that if one was to smoke say... an indica, followed by a sativa, followed by some icolator, followed by something else all in a relatively short space of time! One will not know which buzz is dominating and affecting ones mind. One will not know what buzz is taking prevalence because they have all amalgamated to create a unique high.
Working this high out is much like eating a starter, having dinner and desert, then puking it all out to see if you can still see the food you've eaten in its original state! I think I wasnt making myself too clear in my last post.
As for the locals, I've only been twice, both times within the last three months - and I got friendly with a few locals. I didn't speak to every smoker in amsterdam, so all I can tell you of is my own experience! in case you're wondering, I personally prefer the hazes. More creative. But like Sh@dy wrote before,"So I would say, overall its the haze, but there are times when I prefer to smoke something like Jamaican or Thai weed....before going to sleep, a nice joint of black afghaan is just the right thing to put you asleep." end quote.
Also, to push my point further - I sent 11grams of varied blaze back by post and I've never ever in my life appreciated the different effects that these quality strains have on the physche. One thing I was glad of was that when I smoked my dam stuff at home in the UK, I smoked the indicas at night, the hazes during the day, and my icolator was kept for rainy days...
Oh shite! Sorry for the essay (I can write for london when I'm lean)
