Hmmmm....
The best weed I ever smoked in Amsterdam was the Sour Diesel that I pre-shipped,beforehand,for The IC420 one year.
Since that doesn't really "count",I will say that I usually buy a huge bag of "Sour Diesel"** from De Rokerij and then buy single grams of random varieties that I see as I wander around.
Most commercial weed in Amsterdam is just that: Commercial.
Better than some are used to,but not as good as what most better than average growers can produce.
The most interesting thing is the number of available variants,the worse part is the wide swings in quality.
(The greatest quality issue is the lack of flushing,bar none.)
I love The Grey Area,but they suffer from "beautiful weed that knocks your eyes out but burns for shit" more often than not.
Amnesia Coffeeshop keeps a decent overall stash.
De Dampkring used to be Grade AAA overall,but have slipped into a "caveat emptor" rating over the past couple of years.
Greenhouse can have good Kali Mist and their OG Kush is decent,as well.
If you can,find Soma-He's usually got some really well-grown herb.
That's a Best Bet,if you can swing it.
That said,Amsterdam is always fun simply because you can sit on the sidewalk,have a beer and smoke a joint,and watch a very interesting world walk by.
Without hassle.
Priceless.

**The "Sour Diesel" at De Rokerij is actually a sour diesel phenotype of Sage N' Sour.
Physically it's almost identical to Sour Diesel,but the flavor is mostly Sage,with Sour D undertones. It's a really nice selection,and most importantly,WELL-FLUSHED,but not,I'm sorry to say,the Real Deal Sour Diesel.... Not by a longshot.
i had 3 strains that i like, not 5! i dissapointed in amsterdam..
when you smoke your own weed all the commercial are almost crap!
