Firstly, posted this old story as on one hand it happened again as
Felixxy reported(by the way my links were solid and even with pictures)and on the other to remind people again what‘s going on at coffeeshops(
all coffeeshops which my post with links implied)with their unregulated gear without any health protection.
Said this about a hundred times before and won‘t stop in the future but especially Boerejongens seem to be out of touch with the real world when I look at their phoney approach.
Starts with wearing their somewhat medical scrubs while their interior seems to be well inspired by a dispensary in the Usa.
Probably as they want to appeal like one in opposite to the average coffeeshop looking like an unprofessional and often not so inviting looking place to pick up drugs.
Let‘s say their image is serious and professional.
Their staff is also very professional(this type of professionality you find a lot at the service sector, especially with chains so this staff could in fact work there as well and vice versa
).
For the first look this isn‘t a bad approach at all but at a closer one there is a major difference.
All their look and fancy menus with informations can‘t hide the fact that they still have to rely on the illegal, unregulated and profit-orientated black market without any lab testing or shit compared to an official dispensary.
Their
PR person was boasting here
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=32642&start=15#p396860 with ‚constantly fair prices‘ which is compared to other coffeeshops indeed true(nonetheless prices are still way too high I want them back from time of the old Guilder and this is still possible wouldn‘t it be such a grey area with coffeeshops and such a corrupted business in general), especially on ice-o-lators. No problem indeed having those constant prices when most of the weed I‘ve seen at least since six to seven years is (lightly)shaked like everywhere(?) in the country.
Secondly, I wonder why some people take this almost personal. Personally I roughly differentate comments regarding gear between two types of posters. The ones going for holiday mainly(annual holiday with museums, hiking, shopping and all that)and posters mainly interested in the quality of the gear either because they live there or others checking on quality in general for several reasons.
Last one I belong to and trust the most(better even with growing background or around for a while)but the other one
even though as legit as the other tend to be not so strict on their reviews as a good bunch don‘t want to spoil their holiday in retrospect('We went there and only got very average
gear for high prices in this pricy city')and to some point are biased for certain reason. Sure there are always exceptions and best thing is you know a poster for a while. In the end everyone can voice their opinion, free speech! Each to their own. It‘s about inpiration, too.
Then there is a thing with all types of posters wanting to have their certain idea of a coffeeshop because they had a special experience in the past there. Definitely can relate but will speak up about
any shop when there is something bad happening. Don‘t care if it‘s
De Graal or others as you just have to name and shame them.
Don‘t want to lie to myself. Life is changing. It‘s all about making a change perhaps.
If they close down such an establishment because of mould or heavily fine them this would be just great as it is just inacceptable(just imagine this would happen in a restaurant or at the local supermarket, you can blame them in opposite to coffeeshops where there is no customer protection).
See, it‘s ridiculous how coffeeshops treat their customers and what they get away with(high prices, average gear)only because they are tolerated to sell wiet and hasj in public.
This tolerance policy is so out of date and if they detariorate one day I‘ll say cheers and hope for something new and better coming. It‘s about time really. Won‘t happen too soon especially when some people selfishly want to maintain this very half-baked status quo.
Just for the record again all I want back is the quality from like twenty years back(more precise: quality of processing)for a fair price. There are people growing up now with this standard of quality
so they have nothing to compare to. Still remember the quality of lets say eight years back. Huge demand and wiet becoming a lot more mainstream like ten years ago has to do with this change, too. By the way was involved in private growing operations myself but would never compare that grade to semi-industrial produced one from dutch coffeeshops but it is handy nonetheless.
@Felixxy
Cheers. Nice to know you enjoy High Times, it‘s more about socialising for me there though. Disagree about what you said about sprayed weed(like those sprays you mention or even worse synthetic cannabinoids, PK 13/14, Brixx et cetera)though, bit over the top.
Unflushed wiet a lot but really cut ones I have to come across in Amsterdam yet. Only go mostly for hash(never cut of course
)though. Doubt it though as there would be a lot more reports
on that one then.
By the way it‘s
quite cruel you even sold this mouldy weed then to someone else, shame to say the very least and irresponsible
just because you lost some money.
@MoFo
What you wrote hits the point. Still I can tell you from personal experience is that you can lost parts of your harvest to mould if you don‘t do a proper drying. Especially if you cure your wiet with the help of a hygrometer to prevent guess work(which can bring up mould if not done right or inexperiencied). Happens to everyone. By the way
coffeeshops don‘t cure their weed on average as time is money, rarely happens and as said before 'curing' is used inflationary, shame.
@CopenhagenCouple
Think Elasticband left because of other really stupid bullshit but this board is quite respectful in my humble opinion. By the way ask him about his experiencies with wet wiet from Boerejongens. Of course you're welcome to state you opinion here anytime!
Thirdly, have been to this place too
last week(still only about quality):
Had the place to myself and budtender took his time to explain. Was shown Strawberry something for 14€/g as 'Pineapple Haze(€?)'which both looked good enough(latter one not like pineapples but fruity. By the way remember some fine organic homegrown 'Pineapple Punch' from The Flying Dutchmen some time back which was shinning with that smell but this is an other story).
One unknown indica(8,5€/g)and went for some 'Anamoe Kush x Gorilla Glue(15€).
This one had a nice kushy taste and smell and strong enough body stoned. Bud was looking poor though especially for 15€/g; only bought it as was interested in genetics and smell; the other ones were looking better.
Also was recommended again their Tangerine G13 moroccan(20€/g)as their strongest. Had it before and even though it was quite good smell- and tastewise it just couldn‘t compete on strength with this Mystery Hash I had in Leeuwarden the other day.
Also been to BIJ around the corner but there weren‘t much other goodies on.
It really was getting browner everyday and i gave him bis money back.
