In my experience am with FatOldDwarf, sorry. Outside of Dam they tend to laugh at you if you're asking for certain highs, been there done that a lot(as laughed back at them)by the way. Trial and error then just go with your instinct, good luck! If you don't know a budtender personally for a long ti...

Chatting in the way you describe to the budtenders, friendly, curious, respectful, is pretty much exactly what I'd hoped to be able to do. Especially if I go down early in the day when it's hopefully not too busy and they have a bit of time. Great advice from LLMreb. Just don't expect a convo at gr...

Thanks LLMReb. Some interesting advice there. Chatting in the way you describe to the budtenders, friendly, curious, respectful, is pretty much exactly what I'd hoped to be able to do. Especially if I go down early in the day when it's hopefully not too busy and they have a bit of time. I like the i...

You are clearly an intelligent person, just look at the weed and if it jumps out at you, buy it! If it doesn't, don't. That's probably as simple as it gets :D Just don't be afraid to ask the budtender to look at everything, and then walk away if none is good enough. I did that a lot on my last trip...

I found bud tenders in The Hague quite much better then in Amsterdam , there are very good in advice and they know where they are selling. Thanks for that, some good news. Any particular ones come to mind? I think you already have a better understanding of the abject nature of cannabis reality than...

Any locals want to chime in here, they would be in the best position to provide the evidence?

Ooops... sorry.

I'm currently having a look at this, hope it helps - https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-10 ... g-cannabis

When looking at buds look for tricomes. For example Grey Area puts their buds in a tumbler before selling to get all the good tricomes off for their hash. Now they can sell it twice the crooks! The buds will look like sand paper was taken to them. Otherwise just go with your gut. If you love been s...

Thanks a lot, I'll have a look.

My advice to my self for my "to be grand return" 1. Get hashes instead of indicas. 2. Ask to see their sativa strains, if to busy or to annoyed to let you compare buds for yourself, just leave. 3. Name of shop means nothing. Service means everything. SSH was my top smoke. Shoulda got a ni...

Most budtenders don't give a shit, most know very little and most will just advise you to buy whatever it is they need to sell. My advice to you is to look at examples, familiarise yourself with genetics and don't reply on someone else to choose for you. Thanks True Playa. It's a real shame that bu...

Well you'd easily be forgiven for mistakenly thinking that there's impirical evidence behind the sativa/indica debacle the way people talk about it. Unfortunately there seems to be an army of 'experts' in the cannabis community that believe repeating hearsay is the way to forge oneself a favourable...

Thanks chaps. OHM - yeah, I do tend to overthink stuff a bit to be honest (drives my wife nuts :lol: ). It seems pretty impossible, from what you and Marduk have to say, to have any precise idea of how strains are going to work individually with me. Believe it or not, I've only just looked into the ...

Thanks folks. I had a feeling it would not be straightforward, but you have given me an insight into common experiences, which is what I was after. It seems like the best bet is to arm myself with as much info as I can and then just give it a go. If I happen upon a budtender with a good knowledge ba...

Hello all, and thanks for having me. I have smoked a lot over the years but, thanks to living under the smoke-what-you-can-get prohibition of the UK, I actually know very little. When I visited Amsterdam a few times in my younger days I was too puppy-like to really care about being overly discerning...
