'Blue Magic Shoreline Haze' (yes you read that correctly) for €18p\g


Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo not you toooooooooooo.

one of the LAST shops that I was convinced priced the product on either it's yield or time to maturity rather than playing name games with exploitative pricing. Now I'm not so sure. What's so special about that set of genetics that it would warrant 18 is beyond me.
Shoreline finishes in 8 weeks dead, blue magic is about the most dependable strain on the planet back-crossed to one of it's parents that it the most stable strain on the planet. What in gods name makes that worthy of such a price tag?

Sad Face Amstrerdam Genetics. Sad face.

Lol they're claiming it's "Cali import", they really should hire me as a canna-consultant - I would see to it that they shed some of their silly tendencies (cough: the absurd "strain name-game") that keep them from reaching and drawing in the diehard heady stoner crowd. Wat denken jullie @Amstersam Genetics?

Hope you guys have a good weekend.
We came to read this part of the forum about our shops.

FYI: We do NOT sell any Cali weed in our coffeeshops. It's has never been like that on our menu.
We know some staff members presumed this was imported weed, as some are crossed with certain said ‘Cali Strains’.
All staff is updated with the right strain information.

Hope to see you guys soon at the new coffeeshop at Humberweg 2 - Amsterdam Sloterdijk, wich is our new Flagship Store!

Kind regards,

Team Boerejongens

Who knows what level of profits the CS's make? It's difficult to make a meaningful critique of potential greed when we don't know the numbers.

However - I do try to see things from both sides.
Any business owner has a set of projected profits in mind that they believe is what's necessary to make the job/investment worthwhile. It's up to them to set their service levels and price their products accordingly; and down to us as consumers to decide whether we are prepared to pay those prices and support their businesses.

Personally I don't feel particularly offended by the high price of coffeeshop weed; largely because I'm familiar with the fact that paying that price is unnecessary; I do balk at paying €18 p/g because to me that's a single joint.

BUT: I also accept that
a) To some people that gram will last a LONG time. I have friends that smoke only 1 gram per/week and would be happy with that €18 p/g cost if that's what they want to smoke. The same people enjoy expensive food and wine too.

b) Consumerism is very rarely rational - so there's little point trying to make a value judgement about it, or other peoples choices.

At the end of the day there are people that can afford luxury items - whether they're worth the perceived value is in the eye of the beholder.
