officially, oil (BHO) is illegal (class a) not sure what the law is re rosin but I did see the guy in 1e hulp making some ...they have moonrocks there too, which afaik is made using BHO...the other alternative, is to bring some hair straighteners with you

This forum used to be active.

As has been mentioned, certain types will put anything sold in amsterdam down to lift their connoisseur status. Less than a year ago, on my latest trip, I bought five different strains and they were all strong. Mostly from recognized coffeeshops recommended by the community, too. Don't set your bar so laughably high and you will find good bud and hash.

Sure you can find good stuff in Amsterdam, but weed in A'dam is really a hit-n-miss thing with each single visit for a tourist smoker! Even with the best of the best shops (Grey Area, Voyagers, Utopia, etc.). You really need to take a snif and a look-see before buying weed and asking if it's flushed well enough, cause some times the ash is quite dark.

MAny times, there is no consistency between different batches of the weed they sell. I have smoked the nicest and smoothest UK Cheese from Grey Area one time, a year later it has very harsh and poorly flushed ..price was the same thou, 13 euros a gram! LOL

No ethics in A'dam weed business for some people. Some shops lower the price if the weed happens to be poorly grown. Voyagers being one such shop. No wonder it's so popular shop.


But the weed prices are going through the roof! Many new hype hazes and kushes are usually 15-18 euros a gram these days. Most strains are 12-13 euros ...ak 47, White Widow, Bubblegum, Blueberry, Orange Bud selling for 8-10 euros
...sure, you can find better prices few kilometres away from tourist-centers. De Pijp is a nice region with few nice shops Katsu, Club Media etc.




With hash it is easier to make quality buys, but you can seriously over-pay for hash also. A snif and a look-see is also a must when buying hash. But you can find superb morrocan for 10 euros or less.
1e Hulp is a nice shop for some traditional Morrocan hash. Also a popular shop among smokers. Ok weed selection
Rifman hashes are nice (Dampkring/Tweede Kamer and few other shops), thou the top varieties can be a bit over priced. Kadinsky is also a popular shop among hash smokers ...also Bluebird and De Graal

Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory (acdforum.site) is a nice Adam Coffeshop review-forum to ask about weed and hash situ ATM in Amsterdam and Holland in general ...very nice forum.
https://www.acdforum.site/index.php
Coffeeshop Menus is a nice site to look through weed/hash Menus of different coffeeshops from Amsterdam and other towns/cities. It's regularly updated. Many 2016-menus there already.

I'll be in Amsterdam soon with a friend, will stay in De Pijp. Haven't been there for a while, but thanks to this thread i think i've got a safe list of places to check round there. Katsu will be near, so Club Media and Carmona among others. So, thanks for that info and those links, guys.
Now, I'm not very well updated on IC Cups, i suppose the 2015 and previous entries are more or less spread in menus, but there's that recent IC Cup and i wonder if this year's stuff is sold in some coffeeshop or you greedely smoked the lot already.

Drinks gone expensive, paid 3.50euro for half a latte at GH, red light.
seems the norm all over town.
service without a smile always makes me smile in Amsterdam,
an they wonder why everyone has moved to Espania.

if you are close to Katsu then de Graal should be nearby and always worth a visit after 6pm on weekdays or all day weekends.

Overall coffeshop weed quality has extremely decreased whereas prices are as high as never before in Amsterdam.

Saddest thing about the coffeshop weed nowadays, almost everything is sprayed with heavy pesticides & fungicides and yes, also during late flowering.

I wont buy/trust any coffeeshop weed anymore due to getting a behind the scenes glimpse. People are selling and smoking poison.

Sad but true.

Voyagers is almost right across the central railway station ..so, i suggest, it is your first stop!

Here you can find their menus:

Mellow Yellow isn't too far from De Pijp ..their Blueberry is nice for the price

Coffeeshop Yo-Yo is known for it's organic outdoor weed, close to that Carmona you mentioned.


One Stone's Cafe/Corner is also in De Pijp

Have fun.

Most likely not, and the reason for this is, this shop is not actually in Amsterdam, it is in Hoofdorp which is a tiny little place just the other side of Schiphol... around 25 minutes by train from central...or 4 minutes from Schiphol...

Now, why are you telling us this, Jamie? Well... Superfly whitewashed the whole thing, took home the top award in all four categories... not to mention their hash weighed in at over 80% THC (I think thats the one that was 80% anyway).

Whether or not they sell to tourists and all that I'll have to let you know after I make a visit in the next few days...

Avoid Superfly.

It is well known in Amsterdam that these guys (plantformers) bought a bunch of jugde passes and voted themselves on 1st place in all categories at the 1st unity cup.

During the actual unity cup, hardly any judge made it out to Hoofdorp, to sample/vote for their entries, so u can tell the surprise was very big once they announced them on 1st place in all categories.

These scammers should be avoided and not supported.
