I agree with that 8) I like a perfect grown White Widow more than an okish OG Kush for example... important is that it is good grown! So a very nice grown, flushed and cured AK 47 for example can be real killer weed.
But I have to say some of the "new" strains have complete different tastes than the most oldshool strains... more variety... and well if the "new" strains are very good grown, too they are also killer :lol: ... but it is not a rule that oldshool strains are always not so good as the hyped strains 8)

popped in to best friends 2 on the way back to apartment one night. bought a gram of Nagar sweet creme. was very tasty not as strong as i wanted for bedtime but overall a nice smoke. The bud tender was funny as fuck as well. really comical and down to earth. can't remember his name ( black fella if anybody knows him ) but he was really sound one of the best tenders i think I've met. would return just to have some banter with him alone.

I also was at Best Friends 2 (near Spui). Never was there before but heard some good things in the last time so I deside to check out the shop. On google maps it says that it´s closed but it´s open :D

Small darker place with only one big table in the middle and a few other "seating options" around the room. Sounds not really good at the first moment but decor and atmosphere were very nice and relaxing. It seems to be a very quiet coffeeshop... good to escape from the city stress for a while.

Also the dealer was a nice guy took the time to show me the wares. I was interested in their "top" hashes Lemon Haze (12€/g) and 24K (12€/g). Both looked and smelled pretty nice.
The 24K is a darker sticky hash. You can smell that it´s really made of new genetics... a little bit more spicy. I only smoked one bowl of it so far... so I have to try it more to say how it really was for me... but overall it looks pretty good and is well priced.
The Lemon Haze Hash is a blonde hash... it reminded me of the batch I got from Baghera last time but Best Friends version is 3€ cheaper :D Anyway I didn´t get any because I had enough hash for the moment... but it´s on my list for the next time.

By the way they also have a discount when you buy 3 or 5 grams.

update :D

I smoked some more of the 24k hash and I liked it. Compared to the 24k hash from Tweede Kammer/Dampkring#2 (10€/g) for example Best Friends version is tastier and the effect is also stronger in my opinion. It cost 2€ more but it is worth it in my opinion... and if you buy 3g you pay around 10,50€/g... Next time I will check out their Lemon Haze hash and their cheaper hashes like the Light Zero (6€/g) and Dark Zero (6€/g).

Budtenders are usually super friendly here... same this weekend :D

Lemon Haze Hash was temp. sold out :? so I went again for their 24k hash wich is still very nice.

Also got a small bag of their Snowwhite (6€/0,7g). To dry in my opinion but not bad. For the price OK but I had
expect more of it.

Lemon Haze Hash (12€/g) - A more blonde soft fresh hash. Smells nice like the strain it´s made from :D It gaves me a sativa high wich was great for daytime. When you buy 3g it´s also getting cheaper around 10,50€/g. Good smoke :D

Light Zero (6€/g) - A more blonde hash... pretty fresh with a good oil content especially for that price. Looks def. like some good quality hash. Smell is also pretty natural but reminds me a little bit of their Snow White weed... maybe they make it from that ^^ or I am just wrong with that :lol: The Dealer told me it was also Lab tested a few months back with pretty good results:

Overall a nice deal :D

I was intrigued by the price cuts for Lemon Haze Hash and 24K Kush Hash, which were rated good when they were more expensive. Could they really be smokable at the price? I tried them at the shop in the centre, where the prices were the same.

Well, maybe. The Lemon Haze seems like a good bargain hash, on a par with Central's Amnesia and Tweede Kamer's King Hassan (though batches of both vary). But the 24K Kush tasted a bit unclean.

At least, I think that's the right way round. They look very similar, and both came wrapped in wax paper, though they were both too hard to warrant it. I only sampled them when I got home. So I can't swear that I've identified them correctly, but the one I like smells of lemon.

As a follow-up to the above post: went back recently with the idea of buying the better of the two hashes. Just to make sure which was which, I asked to smell both.

Unfortunately, the test wasn't decisive. Despite confirmation bias, it was the alleged 24K Kush that had the odour I associated with the good one. So I was in agonies of indecision. In the end, I decided to go for the Pakistan Sativa, as I do love a good black hash.

Blame Mokum madness for allowing me to think that a shop that would sell the lesser of those bargain hashes would offer a decent black hash. Anyway, don't bother.
