Ozric: It's a relief to know someone else out there likes the Purple Power. I was worried I might be steering people wrong :)

I'm feeling this very good Canadian stuff as I write (oh, yes), so let's see if I can write a coherent sentence. A recap, long overdue: special: Purple Power (outdoor, Homegrown Fantasy) – Fun. The perfect balance between a high and a stone, with both poles present and euphoric. Stronger than expect...

if you like to enjoy yourself: Purple Power (HGF)
if you want to hurt yourself: Silver Pearl (Barentsz)
if you like indicas, and would like to expand upon the experience: Afghaan Haze (Loft)

Strain: Blue Saguna (sp?) cs: Boerejongens €: 9/gr odor: Weak. Of pine sap once pulled apart. It went to Bij and asked for Blue Amnesia. They were out of that, so the clerk directed me to Boerejongens … so I went to Boerejongens. I told the 'tender there how I asked for Blue Amnesia at Bij and how t...

The ape is apt for the Sour Diesel. Its body language captures the melancholy of Diesel. It helps that the SD was in full swing when I took the photo ... I don't have the eye, either. I just take a dozen photos of the same object, and post the one that comes out best. Thank God for digital cameras :)

LadyJane: Ah, so you noticed the Kindle background … Did you also notice that there is also at least one cannabis-related word in each photo? :) There is no hidden meaning to the pinchy-pinchy photo, alas. I happened to choose it because I liked the photo and I liked the Planken. It also helped that...

Iko: The weed I smoke on a regular basis comes from three places: Amsterdam, New York City (strong, indoor stuff) and Canada (outdoor stuff, presumably, since it looks like dry hay). It's probably blasphemy to post this opinion on these boards, but ... the Canadian herb is usually my favorite. The C...

dude65: In hindsight (and perhaps you are diplomatically alluding to this point), the budshots are nerdy. The most important thing they demonstrate, I think, is that appearance is no measure of the quality of a sample's high. The Purple Power looked like raisins attached to a twig, and the Afghaan H...

strain: Planken cs: Kashmir €: 8/gr odor: sweet, green and grassy, not so far off from damp hay On my first visit to Kashmir, the ‘tender managed to foist the Santa Maria on me. Almost as soon as I made the purchase, I was feeling buyer’s remorse. I was getting ready to leave when a local stopped in...

Strain: Durban Poison cs: Anyday €: 5.80/gr odor: rye bread, faintly The ‘tender warned me I was getting the dregs. There was so little left, in fact, that he was willing to forgo house policy and sell me just a half gram. Durban Poison came on with a clear, quiet warmth. It sucked the sound out of ...

Anyday's Durban Poison.

strain: Sour Diesel cs: Chapiteau €: 9/gr odor: pine sap with a floral bubblegum When you tear this one up, a powder rubs off onto your fingers. The high is cool and dissociative. Here I am, sitting at one corner of Westerpark, watching life pass by. I feel like I am looking through a telescope held...

Located about halfway between Boerejonens and Loft, De Bommel ( Balboastraat 19 ) is an easygoing local establishment. Its motif is the bear, and that's nice. Once you're buzzed in the door you're welcomed by all sorts of likenesses of ... bears. The menu is limited. If memory serves, De Bommen offe...

strain: Twisla (hash) cs: De Bommel €: 8/gr odor: cocoa and straw The smoke tastes of earth. A gentle breeze envelopes me. (What is this, a commercial for a fabric softener?) Nothing racy about this stuff. Your worries are … what worries? Uncomplicated, uncluttered warmth. (It isn't stopping me from...

strain: Santa Maria cs: Kashmir €: 7.50/gr odor: damp, rotting hay My, this stuff is all orange hairs. Hairy and quite dry. The smoke has a fine, dry powderiness to it. Now, mind you, I am smoking Santa Maria on top of some other strains … It cuts through the fog with a caffeinated punch. Speedy! Br...
