Where are the smelly, tasty buds in Amsterdam?

[inspired]

Tried all the "cup winners" at barneys, dampkring, etc.. while theyre all ok, most are sort of bland, with little or no taste. Wheres the dank? Some nice blueberry, or smelly kush wheres it at???? Its almost too cold to trek around the city on foot so id at least like to get some exciting smoke. An exotic sativa, or a nice resiny purple nugget. Is van gogh museum open saturday?

This summer I really enjoyed Super Silver Haze in Mellow Yellow, it worths the 10eur/gr they charge.



Snow White in Homegrown Fantasy was also really good and much more cheap.



If you have time I advise you to go spend an evening in Haarlem (17km - 15 minutes - 3,1eur one way train ticket) and get the best at any Willie Wortel's Coffeeshops. Gotta try their White Widow at Coffeeshop Sativa and their Amnesia Haze at Coffeeshop Sinsemilla. There (at Sativa) you have 50 euro deals, pay 50 and get 62,5.



Last summer I tried over 30 different strains in many coffeeshops in and out Amsterdam and those were my favourites.

Every shop in holland i ever went to had a little of everything. Some places had amazing choices and some just the bare bones. Check out all the shops if you want you'll find some gems!

Hi!

what is a 62,5?? how many grams is that lol?? is that even a measurement??? what did you mean with 62,5?

If I'm talking about 50 euro deals and then I say that for 50 you get 62,5 in the same statement, I guess everybody would understand I'm talking about euros €€€.

for 50 euro's what do youg et?? in grams??? isnt that what they weigh with there in amsterdam?

Well, if you are buying a 10eur per gram strain, than you get 6,25 grams for the price of five. If you are buying a 8eur per gram strain, than you get 7,8125 grams for the price of 6,25 grams. If you are buying a 5eur per gram strain, than you get 12,5 grams for the price of 10 grams...

And so on...

Sorry for being not so specific in my first post.

"so what youre sayin is that there is just work in most of the shops?? no stinky NYCD or sour diesel..no OG KUSHES..or skunks...damn i tought amsterdamn was the mecca"

I never said nothing close to that. The thread title is "Where are the smelly, tasty buds in Amsterdam?" and I limited myself to answer this question by giving examples of strains and coffeeshops I most apreciated last summer. You ask if what I'm saying "is that there is just work in most of the shops"... What do you mean? Yes, they have employes that work in the shops...

Of course I've also tried some NYCD at Dampkring and some Skunks in many other places, but the ones I liked better have been, as I first said, Super Silver Haze from Mellow Yellow, Snow White from Homegrown Fantasy and Amnesia Haze from the Willie Wortel's cannabis shops. As simple as that, but of course they sell many other strains as well.

Once again, sorry for not being so clear in my first post.

Stay cool...

funny...lol...what he meant by sayin' "work" was herb that is not that great and they sell it to the tourists to make money...we call beasters "work" in the states because people "work" it but wouldn't even think about smokin' it...we smoke our own and other's head stash

 

[inspired]

Went to the Greenhouse and tried super silver haze. Looked and smelled awesome, didnt burn well, and irritated my throat.. (real chemmy) or uncured.. Then to the NooN and tried the house blueberry.. Slight fruity smell, plain ole dry buds.. Nothing worth noting yet.. =(

 

[inspired]

While the pot is reasonably priced and there is a vast selection spread throughout a unique city, nothing is really that good.. All you california tokers have it good..

man i would love to go to Amsterdam no matter what i will be on there ,

Hi ExcelAtIt !!

I think when you say your getting 7.825 everyone thinks your saying 7 thousand 8 hundred twenty five.

Please get back to my post. I used a "," and not a "." as you are saying I did. Anyway it was an example I was giving so nycsfan042 could understand what I was trying to tell. Anyway, I don't know why, but it seems nobody here can understand that a shop is making a reduced price deal and when you pay 50 euros you get weed in the value of 62,5 euros, so you get 12,5 euros of free weed no matter what strain we're talking about. Sorry, but if you wanted to say he is right for what he said you have failed to find a good argument to do that.

Hi ThirdEye !!

Let's get back to what he really said:

and that sucks ... so what youre sayin is that there is just work in most of the shops??

No, what happened here has nothing to do with what you are trying to argument, it's not about work in the way how weed works with you. He wanted to ask if that was the way how it works there in most of the shops, because he was convinced I was saying that there was only one strain available in each coffeeshop. But, I don't know why, he messed up with the words he used and said this:

and that sucks ... so what youre sayin is that there is just work in most of the shops??

If you go back to my post and to his answer to my post you will find out that you could have chosen a better argument in his defense.

Anyway if a simple opinion very well explained (including fotos) can cause all that trouble, maybe I'm not welcome here and I'll avoid get back into this subject.

Sorry if it is my fault, I just don't see why it should be and why you're all putting words "in my mouth".

Stay cool...

The Yellow Cab at Grey Area has been superb last few times I've been to the Dam, and the Sour Diesel at Dutch Flowers was also superb. I can also recommend the Alegria and Acapulco Gold from De Dampkring. The Katsu is well worth a visit and their Bubba Kush is fantastic, although not laways in stock. I second the recommendation to go to Haarlem, Nol's Power Plant is always great, it's really cheap too. Nol always has some great stuff, always a wide choice and always good prices.

 

[nycdfan042]

when we say "work" in america we mean cheap commercial chronic. It could be decent haze to beasters or BC...its just what is termd 'work' because sometimes it takes a little hard work to get rid of it, if you have a good ammount of it. People buy "work" in large scale to make money off it...not for the pleasure of the product, there are a lot of dealers pushing commercial crap, and sometimes you cant find anything decent thats why i was saying what i said up top. We in the states experience the same thing, but i bet theres more choices over in the 'dam as here its sort of risky being picky thats why its best to grow your own diesels ... im still tyring to get some kushes in my patch!

relax bro...i don't think you were causing any trouble...just miscommunication of cultures/language...terms and phrases you use are different then terms and phrases we use...i think nycdfan042's explanation cleared up any confusion

sorry for interrupting your thread inspired...hope you find the kill in one of those shops

 

[Guest]

I have a guide with my personal hangouts in the city(located in sig)

The grey area is way to small but they have great bud at a price. Great hash at a big price. If you look hard enough you will find whatever strain you want almost. I smoke the 5euro a gram brick weed in big joints and get wasted. You can get "cheap" hash for 3 euro a gram and mix it with bud and your set.

Or you can get tasty potent 13 euro a gram sativas and other name brand buds. I have spent alot of time in south holland also where the prices are much better but not as much selection in shops or strains.

Also what shop do you buy over the 5 gram limit?! I have to stop by at least 10 shops to get a days worth of smoke! i would love to get some good deals on a bulk order, but i've seen some people catch a beat down from the cops downtown Amsterdam so maybe it's not the best idea to skirt the dutch laws

Nice, I'm gonna have a look at it

Hi!

Nice to hear from you nycdfan042. Now your sentence makes all the sense. I just don't know why you thought I said weed was no good in Amsterdam. Well, some could be better and they definetly charge a high price for the quality stuff, but just like the thread is all about I was talking about the really good weed you can find there. I agree with you when you say that everybody can get much better by growing their own, that's what I do and I think it is not easy to find in Amsterdam the quality I get with my own weed.

Once again nycdfan042, sorry for my first post where instead of saying "There (at Sativa coffeeshop) you have 50 euro deals, pay 50 euros and get 62,5 euros of weed, getting 12,5 euros for free." I said "There (at Sativa) you have 50 euro deals, pay 50 and get 62,5."

Hope you did understand it all very well now that I have explained it better.

Hi inspired !!

Do as I said and go to Mellow Yellow and try their Super Silver Haze. I was not talking about the Greenhouse coffeeshop, I don't say every Super Silver Haze in Amsterdam is good, and I would be very stupid if said such a lame thing. Mellow Yellow is a bit far from Amsterdam centre but it is worth the ride, it lays somewhere between Leidseplein and Fredriksplein near the corner of the Vijzelgracht and Lijnbaansgracht. Then, as I said and British Hempire agreed, it is easier to find good stuff in Haarlem, specially if you get into any Nols Willie Wortel shops (Sativa, Indica and Sinsemilla are the names of his Coffeeshops), where besides quality you also get nice discounts if you buy a bigger quantity.

Hi ThirdEye

i don't think you were causing any trouble...just miscommunication of cultures/language...terms and phrases you use are different then terms and phrases we use

What you have quoted from me was not directed to you. And yes, as nycdfan042 explained you were right with your interpretation of what he was trying to say, I just think he said that in a very strange context since I never said weed was bad in Amsterdam. But yes, if you guys are not up to read my first post in this thread and nycdfan042's first post in this thread, then I believe it really may seem I am over reacting, which I'm not. I was just waiting for nycdfan042 to explain his idea and now he did and our miscommunication had obviously nothing to do with commas,,, and points...

Once again ThirdEye, I appreciated your intervention and although I thought you were wrong I never doubted of your good intentions. Stay cool bro!

My advice (on-topic):

Mellow Yellow - Super Silver Haze (sold at 10 euro per gram)
Homegrown Fantasy - Snow White (sold at 7 euro per gram)
Willie Wortels Cannabis Shops - White Widow (8,5eur/gr)*, Amnesia Haze (13eur/gr), Shiva Gold(8,5eur/gr)* and many others.

By 8,5 eur/gr I don't mean 8 thousand and five hundred euros for 1 gram, obviously. I mean 8 euros and fifty cents.

Peace!

dude what the hell is your problem asshole nobody is arguing with you he was just trying to clear up the confusion. nycd was confused about what you said about your price deal because you were using commas instead of periods. apparently he didn't know that in europe the commas and decimals are switched. so like one thousand five and a half would be written as 1,005.5 in america but it would be written 1.005,5 in europe. you don't seem to understand that that is what was confusing him. and you really don't seem to understand that nobody is arguin with you, they're just trying to understand you, so there's really no need to get all offended and act like a whiny little bitch

 

[Tommy G]

Well, I see that now you come and send some ashes into the fire, so maybe we have the same kind of personality...

I'm not going to keep on destroying the thread. It's all in my and nycdfan042's first post. Then he came up and cleared things up. He was not confused with the commas. In my first post the only time I used a comma with a number was when I wrote 62,5 and nycdfan042 did not know if I was refering to grams, dollar, euros, or bananas. It was not a matter of 62 euros and a half or 62 thousand and 5 hundred euros.

When you guys write 62.5 dollars you mean 62 thousand and 5 hundred dollars? Just because instead of a comma there is a point? No, you don't. Read the first posts and you will understand.

It was all between me and nycdfan042, and it would have been solved in a respectful way if nobody else felt like getting between our first miscomunication problem.

Now stay cool and hope you get another thread to flame up after things are already solved out.

Ah, and thanks for the offence man, it was very kind of you...

what the hell is your problem asshole

whiny little bitch

How nice man! Thanks!

[Guest]

dude you still don't get it you are so dull

why the hell would anyone think that 62.5 means 62,500? and who the hell ever said it was a matter of 62 euros and a half or 62 thousand and 5 hundred euros? not me

 

[Tommy G]

Sometimes, when someone refuses to read the first posts of the thread and still wants to give his opinion (in an offensive way), we have to end it like this. Go back, read my first post, read nycdfan042 post and try to figure out what's wrong over there.

I'm not going any further is this thread, that's my last post. If you want to keep thinking I'm wrong by reading a comment of a comment of a comment and not reading how it all started, you're free to do it, as you were free to come and start a fire where there was no fire at all. But as in the way it seems that you like to offend others, you are also free to keep with the points... and commas,,, stuff that has nothing to do with the thread or with the miscommunication (now solved with respect) between me and nycdfan042.

Go ahead and keep with it

well, I've never been there but I hear that most coffee shop smoke has been tumbled once to knock the kief off the bud. I understand that is why they no longer keep loop magnifiers on their counter tops for closer examination as they did in the old days.......

again, never been there, just what I've read over the past few years. still it wouldn't really affect the experience for me, I wouldn't ever be going there expecting to smoke the best (I grow the best imo) weed, just to have a go at the freedom experience, the canals, the art, the people, the RLD (hehehehehe) etc.......
