i've looked around on some site that has pics of CS menus - shocking how many have the same boring stuff. with the insane amount of different strains out there, y'd think there'd be some variety.

i saw the jamaican on several menus - why is it so dirt cheap? no good?
def gonna try it, but still i wonder about the low low price.

It is, what it is, i guess. Personally, im happy to pay 15 or so euros for 5 grams when im in town . Plus , it makes a nice 'old school' change from heavy hitting kush and the like and enables you to enjoy the city and function without being in a comatose state. I favour thai over the JA(less seeds and twigs) but bare in mind , because its popularity isnt that of the ' in vogue' strains, it will have sat around for a while, so it pays to be picky . Anyday had some lovely high grade JA last year at 7 euros a g. Haven't seen it since but that, i assume, is what you are after . As other posters have suggested, Katsu is worth a gander .

Oh I missed the part about you being in the Dam.. If you can find CBG gear anywhere there get it.

One Year I found some great Moderately powerful "Nigerian" as it was called. Mixed well with the Hash, which is always my favorite. We have the Flowers Covered here. But no imported hash. Attaining those flavours are rare. Grew a Soma A+ that had a hashy taste...

Anyways, another trip the c'SHOP budtender (can't remember where, early 90's) offered me Jamaican, Thai, and Mexican, and they were all the same. When I joked with Him regarding that, he admitted that they were. Since none of it was special, I bought a good gram of Nepalese hash instead, to be polite. Wasn't His Fault, He was Cordial, and gave me a good count.

WISH I was over there right now. Skating on the canals.. Nothing like Snow in Amsterdam. Calming on the nerves, and beautiful beyond belief. WHEN it's good, IT'S gREAT... Everyone gets bundled up and sits close together shoulders touching, in the C'shops - all keeping warm. A sWEET Gezellig Vibe. Rokerij was good for that, in the past.

yeah, quick rant about those 'in vogue' strains... i'm quite sick of them. while i haven't smoked them all, i doubt that crossing 2 of the most 'in' strains will yield something even better. i'd much rather get some strains that have proven themselves over a decade or longer.

will def get some jamaican. don't mind the seeds either - freebies!

Little has changed...except tht "Sannementereng" is said to be reopenning soon...

Now THAT's some good news ! I went there late 2009 and scored some wonderfull pot from Ghana, a true delight. Very happy high, creeper, with nice stimulation. Loved it. THey had another African on the menu, and also some Indonesian which was alas out of stock.

CS Pick up the Pieces usually has some nice Durban Poison (CS Anyday had hash made from Durban Poison last december, must be nice !)

Will check some of these places out if/when I go next time. Last time I did my research and went to some shops said to have decent imports and was very disappointed, it was all crap. I've smoked a fair share of bricked herbs and I'm a fan of a good commercial imported sativa but what I smoked there was pure trash.

The ssh I smoked from one shop was really good but in general I'm not a big fan of that gray market system, it's like the good old black market without having to look over your shoulder(which is great in itself). Many people I know rave about the shops and I may return to them but the imported weed seen there last time was pathetic.

Awesome place. Was there in 2009 as well and had the Ghanian as well. Bought it cos I heard the husband of the lady who owns it was from Ghana. Figured it might be decent.

Results were exactly as you describe. I rolled a huge fat joint of it pure and puffed away then looked at the antiques. Antique shopping while stoned is so fucking cool.
Loved the open split level design of the place. Very airy. Stuff was EVERYWHERE. I had to be careful not to knock anything over!
Almost bought a few things but couldn't haggle the lady down enough so I left with the weed and a nice high which kept on getting higher and higher in a really nice warm fuzzy way.

I heard they are re opening in time for 4/20 this year. Hope it is true.
