Oh yes, "Amnesia" is the new "White Widow", which was the new (super)skunk. Especially in smaller towns, smaller shops with short menus if it's not haze but strong "white" strain it's sold as white widow. Same thing with Amnesia, if it's hazy.... The shop I buy my favorite Amnesia actually calls it Super Haze. Reminds me of when skunk was sold as super skunk because, well, you know, it's super (and one guilder more)

I sold quite a few zips from "hip bags" myself on the Wadden islands decades ago (no shops). Later (rave times) it made a come back to sell other stuff. Good times. As if cops didn't exist. Ended up working for the coffeeshop where I bought it. The idea to use the hip bag dealer came from the first shops in Amsterdam, if the cops came it wasn't the coffeeshop/theahouse owner that broke the law but the dealer sitting at the bar.

Later some of the better shops had a "book". "Can I see the book?" was the common question to start with. Books normally used to store projector slides, but had instead zips with 'weed' and hash, so you could browse the books and pick from a few bags.

Nowadays they have a "bud tender", I had one who asked me for a tip... at greenhouse shop... for rubbing his sweaty thumbs over my nuggets to crumble of that last 0.01gram or whatever it was.

The main negative change imo is from recent years though, they closed so many shops in Amsterdam and it just gets busier, too busy in many shops. I liked to end the evening at Barney's - overpriced but great Macchiatos and the tangerine dream (from a good harvest...) tastes great in the free to use volcanos - but it's way too busy there. Baba is always full, don't even bother checking the original dampkring, can never sit at Jolly Joker and many others... I do tend to go on either Thursday night or Saturday, and new year's eve.

Years ago I used to end my coffeeshop tours in the Grasshopper despite their overpriced drinks, before they closed, became a steakhouse (that green lit building one the left when you walk from CS to the dam square).At least they had plenty of space.

And above all, I miss white Deutscher Meisters... every self-respecting shop had one, and still should imo. Great way to connect with new people and break language barriers.

I envy people who go to Amsterdam for the first time or just haven't seen it all yet. Boerenjongens is then 20min by tram, while after a few times it's a short walk from CS (take Zeedijk instead of Damrak, cross the Nieuwmarkt, take the Kloveniersburgwal street, cross the bridge, cross the Rembrandsquare diagonally, enter the Utrechtse straat and the new Hunters will be at the right and Boerenjongens across the bridge on the left.)

I went to Yo-yo coffee shop on the corner of Hemonystraat and Tweede Jan van der Heijdenstraat.

They do 5e deals (0.9g to 0.6g) and 10e deals (1.8g to 1.2g), most of there weed is outdoor grown, most of the strains seemed to be old school Dutch Passion stuff. They do a few popular strains grown under lamps like Amnesia Haze & Bubble Gum.

I bought one each of their Frisian Dew and Haze. Neither had great bag appeal, look as if it had been dried too quickly and smell was quite subtle. Though enjoyed smoking both, and were a lot stronger than I expected outdoor grown to be.

What is the genetics of the Jungle Haze Jamie mate? That does seem like a good deal you've got there man

mack 10 · 10-22-2015, 06:05 PM

@ Copius, prob just Amnesia. Just the smaller nugs or something.

JamieShoes · 10-22-2015, 06:39 PM

hehe thats nearly always the case eh Mack, but for once it isn't... or at least, I dont think it is..

this one has a sweeter taste, a bit like top deck lager and lime..... hopefully they'll have some in November if youre about, I'll be sure to grab some if I'm down there anyway

genetics wise, I couldnt tell you, CD ... as far as I can tell its mislabeled as I can't find any Jungle Haze by any breeders...

edit: apparently it's Affie x SSH ... Although I'm not sure I trust a menu that tells me the Mexican Haze is a Hawaiian Land Race

as per this old menu...
