Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

No trip for me would be complete without a visit to Basjoe. Had the Bas Special, always a great smoke, and the Himalaya. James was his stoned self but it's not the same without Leo.

Basjoes is as great as always, though the menu really needs a little "moderning up ", as there is not one eye catching strain on the entire thing.
I asked for the best Indica, and like last summer was directed to the Bas Special ( now up to 12eu from 10 eu ).
The Bas Special as reported a few weeks back still seems to be a very good La Con.
Strangely the nugs were taken out of a giant ziplock turkey bag, maybe we could all chip in and get James some Tupperwear for Christmas, plastic bags , c'mon LOL.
James was in great spirits joking around with us especially after we were baked on our ass.

Went on a spur of the moment trip to Amsterdam on Thursday. Arrived at Basjoes around 6pm and closed the place a little before 1am. The Amnesia was especially nice - solid nugs with glistening trichomes; distinctive Amnesia smell; smooth and easy taste. The Isolator Hash was incredible, so much so that James was nearly out of it towards the end of the evening.

Iko, I agree, in part, about their menu. Most of the shops that are comparable, reputation wise, have a greater selection with some offering 30 or more varieties of weed and hash. For the most part though, I like the limited menu which is always top-shelf and still reasonably priced, as compared to others.

anyone doodle in the basjoe books?

I done portsmouth FC football badge if anyone sees it holla at me.

I think our scrabble scores are probably still in the box ,can't remember if we left anything else behind ... well the crystals

there were some mental pics in that book. the staff really were not that friendly tho. didn't even speak to us. maybe we looked to monged out lol

james and leo(rip), were the 2 most friendly budtenders ive ever had the pleasure to meet in the dam.

the only thing im not looking forward to is not sharing a smoke with leo next trip. basjoe just wont feel the same again.

Yeah the staff here always seem shifty. But clearly some people like them a lot.

That James guy always looks stoned out of his head, just staring into space or occasionally eyeballing you. And I would say this even before his recent unfortunate bereavement, I don't believe this bears on what I am talking about.

Ive been into Basjoes many times, never anything special to report in terms of quality of bud, service or the vibe in general.

However, I've never mentioned ACD - it seems that James pulls out all the stops for ACDers - just a clever marketing ploy?

I'm probably gonna get abused now... I know some of you guys are emotionally attached to the shop!

I've never mentioned ACD and have always been treated like one of the family.

Same here i have never mentioned i was from "the forum"

nope ,,,, ive never mentioned ACD either

i didnt mention the forum either, and i must say if basjoes aint the best cs in dam for its menu because to tell the truth the menu is of a very poor standard. but it wins hands down for the best budtender in dam by far! in june james had me and my mate in stitches, he was so happy! and defo stoned and so far to my knowledge he is the only budtender that said if i didnt like the bas special then he would not charge me for it, and he was serious!! but i have to say the bas special that day was banging so he knew he was gonna get paid

its all about you...yer vibe carries alot of weight in some of the shops ...if its not yer cup of tea..its cool..theres plenty of others..james and leo have been my friends for many years and ive had many good times there,...tyr greenplace,try bushdoctor ...ya never know...finding yer mecca is half the fun..the other half is when ya get there enjoy
