Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

are there original Tempelballs available in town?
I mean the ones with little opi mixed in?

I know Baba has Tempelballs for 10,5/gr as DutchFlowers has Tempelballs for 10,5/gr. Do they content opi?
Are there any further coffeshops that offer Tempelballs at the moment?

Shops in the center prefered this time, as I'll have not time to go to the pijp or west!

No.

but what do they then call tempelball? just the origin?
what about the holiness, they were famous for?

There's proper Templeballs just not with opium in them.

was reading in "hash" yesterday evening and mr clarke worte about these tempelballs with opi mixed in. I just tought that I should get some...

As far as I'm aware there has never been opium in any templeballs, lots of rumours said there was but I'd guess not.

I thought the same, but there are some pics in this book that show 3 different samples. and he writes:

"nepal tempelballs (1+2), hand rubbed... ...adding a little bit of opium causes an unforgettable condition
of euphoria. next (4) a little bit more coarse, not so holy but not less potent variation."

Barney's Templeball was nice the other week 5g-55e, i didnt see any white bits though, worth a look though. I would def buy again.

This is one of the great dope myths thats been doing the rounds since hippies started going to India in the late 60's and has been thoroughly investigated by me personally and an awful lot of others ive met in my life travels in asia!

Its often rumoured to exist, never ever met anyone who actually had any, just people in Goa who got so fucked that they 'concluded' the hash must have been opiated etc...all probably bollox unfortunately...Ive mentioned this before I think but often in Goa spliffs passed round the fire on the beach at night under the moon have smoking heroin put in, it was common when I was there, so that accounted for a lot of the myths too, people getting confused what they were smoking etc.. Also you cant smoke ope like hash, nothing happens except frustration if you put it in a spliff, you have to heat it on its own with a lighter/flame until it bubbles and 'chase' the smoke vapour. If I saw hash in asia with white specks it would indicate it may have been cut with smoking heroin, which is quite possible..heroin is very cheap there and it would be viable to cut with it...


Templeball itself nowadays probably doesnt really exist in the traditional form first glimpsed by the first hippy trailblazers either, much like the oft-lamented Thai-Stick (that knocked you into another cosmos, easily the trippiest weed in the 70's/80's), try getting that now even in North thailand....

So Im afraid that there is absolutely zero chance of any templeball hash sold in dam containing opium or getting any ope itself. Unless you know any Chinese that is...

Templeball has NEVER had any opium in it.
The white spots were mould that developed on the hash from storing it too long.

The myth surrounding this is entirely laughable to be honest.

Firstly, as stated above, opium does not smoke like hash and thus adding it would be a complete waste of time.
Secondly, opium costs ALOT more than hashish and adding it would be incredibly stupid from a dealers point of view.
Thirdly, as stated here on this forum, it was probably "black tar heroin" which people mistook for templeball.

You'll never find opium in hashish, now or in the past, it's an urban myth.

Thank god for that hash doen't need to be mixed with that crap.

we should tour universities and other institutes of higher learning with our perfectly aligned rebuttal

Hah, let's do it!
As long as we smoke copius amounts of templeball while we're doing it
