When I went into the shop I said something along the lines of "I am here to be terminated" when James said hello to me. James started laughing at me and as soon as he was finished waiting on the only other people in the shop he cleaned a pipe, put in a brand new screen and some ash, pinched off a lump of terminator, then held and lit the pipe while I took a massive hit. All of this he did free of charge before I bought any bud. I offered to pay and he would not accept any money. I bought some Bas Special, LA Confidential, and Manali Cream. I was happy with all of these buds, and when I make it back to Amsterdam this will definitely be a shop that I spend some time and money in.
How did you smoke that manali cream? in a bong, pipe or vape? Wish I tried more of James' variety, very rarely is there a bad smoke.
I am not really experienced in smoking hash but I did some bottle hits, some snakes in the grass, and I also set some on top of a bowl of weed. All I can really say about it is that it got me really high... Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

thanks, was just curious... I'd have hit it the same way

I do not believe I have found more consistently great bud anywhere in Amsterdam than I have found here. Period. I have nothing else to say (for this moment only.)

Basjoe's Buddah Cheese (on the menu as Cheese)

Basjoe's Heaven Haze

Money where my mouth is.

Peace,

Geeky

Bong- I will try. No promises, but I'll pass it on that it's your special desire. (And I have to agree that it would be fine fine indeed.)

I went in here when I was in Amsterdam with some friends in Nov 2008, it was busy but the guy at the bar went out of his way to get us seated together when we'd been turned away by other coffeeshops. Didn't buy from here as we'd already just bought from Bushdoctor (I only made that mistake once, rubbish bubblegum) but the menu looked decent, and the drinks were good. Quite blocky inside, square wooden tables, wooden chairs and benches. Not a place to lounge around but definitely worth a visit I'd say. Might even buy next time.

Bagheera next door didn't look as nice but was just as busy.

Finally after all these years Ive found it! True to form, James was lovely and shook my hand with a warm smile when I said Hi and mentioned I knew of his name from here etc...anyhow, to cut to the chase, the Amnesia Haze was superb, the only haze Ive had that actually got me stoned in fact. I sat in there smoking this fine fine herb, he had a sort of chill out dance CD on, it was just the right background sounds for me to come up with, I was beginning to grind my teeth a bit, could feel the haze, could feel the stone, the music was great, best CD i heard in any coffee shop, then bought a g of his cheese as he was so clearly proud of his big bag of it! The cheese was nice, but the haze was much better.

Cool place
