Absolutely shite! Overpriced and utterly shite. Bought a gram if cheese for 20euros. The deal was tiny, easily under a gram. The buds were small, looked like it had been clipped to early. Dark green and didnt smoke good atall. The bud tender was a complete dick, made me buy a drink with my worthless weed. I ended up buying a pre rolled joint aswell which smoked like a fag. Altogether I got charged 29euros for a gram of weed, a fag and a tiny cup of tea. Avoid at all costs! Not worth your time and money. 1/10

I presume this is a review for Grasshopper Amsterdam ? Not the same company

Bet you're right.

@Cisco: if memory serves me right it was first introduced as 'strawberry haze' back in 2008. Then they used 'aardbeien' something. As I wrote elsewhere it's important to me that they didn't tell me any bullshit about this flavouring thing.
However, enjoy your trip to Eindhoven. Hope you really make it to Tilburg, too, guess you'll enjoy Toermalijn(among others) then !

@soapy: Cheers for your kind and funny response, one of the reasons I appreciate this forum/community a lot ! I understand where you're coming from.

on topic: Grasshopper is still in my personal top 3 in Eindhoven. So everyone should at least take a look when in town.

nice helpful staff nicest on the menu was strawberry haze...wicked flavour smell and high

Good opportunity to warn people against this.

According to this thread
https://www.coffeeshopdirect.com/forum/viewt ... 7&start=30 you've been ripped off(at least in my humble opinion). Just saying as I read your grow thread and wonder how this could happen then(unless the situation at the Grasshopper changed and we're talking about a different strain here, I doubt that though). Since growers are infallible, right(on the other hand to err is human, isn't it ?)?See, I respect your opinion of course(enjoying it and all that), maybe you don't mind additives but I found it to be plain to see(respectively smell). Each to their own !

By the way: sorry about your problems with customs (https://www.coffeeshopdirect.com/forum/viewt ... 10&t=18729 - another by the way: I always asking myself why people make comparisons between a big city like Amsterdam and the rest of the Netherlands. What do they expect? 'Little Amsterdam ' ( One can find good grass and hashish nation- respectively worldwide one only has to look hard enough for the best places). But that's another too long stroy I guess .).

hey jesscass thanks for the info ...im not that surprised by the sprayed with additives situation but i certainly didnt even think about any of that at the time as i was just soooooo happy to be presented with a menu again and choice of weed and hash but what da hell ya learn something new everyday and today Jesscass you are the recipient of the "i taught soapy his lesson in new today"
all joking aside im just hoping it cant be as bad as the "snap,crackle and pop shit" they sell on the streets of ireland...
sprayed with crop ferts over here....nitrogen summfing or other....gonna be a lot of full cancer wards over here full of twenty odd year olds real soon

im sorry if i was comparing eindhoven to amdadam but i was led to believe by some friends of mine that it the same kinda vibrant coffeeshop scene i n both...all i saw were closed down pubs ,shops and tall grey apartment blocks...
now i know differently first hand
thank the sweet lil ol baby jesus i can grow the stuff for myself or im sure id still be a drinker not had a drink in 14years how irish is that shit

cool subject though jess gona delve a little more into strawberry haze and try to find out what they add to it?????

latersssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Cisco]

[Jesscass]

Had their ice-o-lator(only for a short time on offer I guess). 12e/1,2g, black respectively dark brownish colour. Pliable, fresh and crystals easily to spot per eye.
Nice up-high. Recommended.

I popped into the Grasshopper on two separate occasions when I was in Eindhoven just before Easter. The first one was a flying visit so I just had a pre-rolled Northern Lights joint. It was nice enough but I usually try to avoid buying pre-rolled as, a) you don't know how much weed is in it, b) you can't be entirely certain what weed it is and c) you don't know what the tobacco is like.

I was up early the next day and pulled into the Grasshopper just after 10am. The shop was quite full so I picked up a gram of Amnesia Haze, which I think was about 12 euros, and settled down at a table near the counter. It had a nice taste and a solid high - one of those occasions when you think to yourself, 'I was fine 5 minutes ago and now I'm very smashed and it's only 10.30am!!' I had no plans for the rest of the day, aside from smoking as much weed as I could, so I sat back and watched the customers come and go for the next hour or so. It's a busy shop and there was a healthy mix of people popping in to pick up and those wanting to sit down and smoke.

In my haste to choose from the menu when I arrived, I had failed to notice that there was an additional handwritten menu on the counter. There were a couple of varieties of weed and hash and I decided to sample a gram of their Colombian Haze for 13.50 euros. I had actually bought some of this last August when I pulled in on the way to Belgium for a music festival and it was again an excellent smoke - the best of that trip and also this one. The only regret I had was that they also had Royal Cheese Haze on the additional menu but it was only available in 5 gram deals for 40 euros. I'll be stopping off again in August so fingers crossed it's still on the menu!!

My kids were in town and wanted to do the Grasshopper.. so we went there today. It was busy but not packed.. and we bought a bag and a couple of pre-rolled. I bought a krystal pre-roll which was very pleasant, a nice flavour and mellow buzzing high.

I ended up bumping into an old friend so I caught up and didn't really take much notice of my surroundings. Not sure if they checked all the IDs there either...

[colinzeal]

really busy in here so i didn't bother and strolled on.

[Jasmeena]

I first went to Grasshopper in Feb 09 where we smoked a pre-rolled white widow joint in the coffeeshop. That was great.. nice high and pleasant taste. We also bought a bag of loose white widow, and that smoked nice as well.. great high.

However, since returning to Grasshopper and buying loose white widow in August 09 and November 09, both bags gave a soapy aftertaste.. not pleasant at all.

I have avoided Grasshopper since.

[Uncle Ron]

note, bags are short. I bought 5 grams of White Widdow that weighed 4.7, and Zero-Zero that weighed 4.8g

otherwise a good stop, nothing special.

On occasion I have weighed their prepackaged gear and I have had the odd bag that was .1g low. Depending on variables such as how long the gear had been bagged, temp/humidity/light exposure, etc.., it doesn't surprise me that bags would be a little under. If I discovered I had a short bag (.2 or more), my next visit to the shop would include bringing my digital scale. If short, I would bring it to the attention of the dealer. I would use caution at this point, specifically the use of tone and language. Either the scales are faulty, someone is shorting the bags, or the gear is being improperly stored. This is one of my pet peeves about shops that sell prepackaged gear only. I like to be able to see the bud tender place the gear on the scales and see the weight for myself. I have, in addition to spot checking the weight of prepackaged gear as mentioned above, checked the weight of gear that was weighed in front of me. The weight has been either exact (to the .1g) or a little over. Lucky? Maybe.

Peace
