The Power

Why do people go to this place? Unfriendly employee (there's really like 1 guy that's nice), never give real Amnesia Haze (yea I know wth.), and they never weigh the weed :S So stay away from there. Only kids under 18 go there.

This shop is exactly beside the subway station 'Wibautstraat'. Getting out of the subway, you can't miss it. Been there twice and didn't really like the weed. Price is not the best and they give you wet weed. When you try and break it up it's a hard job and you spend a lot of time doing this without a grinder. The grams seem small to me as well. Personnel are ok, not extremely friendly.

The Power is a great spot if you are looking to just stop in to buy, it's very quick and easy. Not a whole lot of variety and the guys working there can be cranky. I've been living in Amsterdam for a while and this is my favorite spot to go, once they start recognizing you they will give you better grams and are much more friendly. Its pretty quiet, not a spot to stay and smoke however.

First place I went in Amsterdam, right by my house, in/out asked for his best he gave me okay gram of clean and tasty but I thought mild smoke. 7 Euro. Have walked past a few times and see police on that corner alot so I never stopped again, until today I thought I'd try his Thai Stick and I got a bunch of stems and brick scraps I should of given it back but he looked crabby. I rolled it just now at home and it was just crappy Mexican shit no buzz at all 5 euros down the drain. Not going back there again.

Lovely little place. Quick in and out service. Get your buds at a counter right behind the door. Can step further into the place and get a drink and talk with the bar tender. Had a run in with some crazy French guys, boy did they ever trip me out. Got a great buzz with their gear while I was there. It was a rainy night end of December 2006 and I got melted. It was great. Thought the place was a little bit dirty for my taste but it was pretty rainy and mud was tracked everywhere.

Awesome - fast, friendly, professional, just a small counter behind a door (no coffee or anything else, clear rules -in Dutch- outside, max. duration 5-10 minutes)
