Was very quite in here, my mate brought drinks while i went upstairs and got some weed, found the guy working up there to be unhelpful and disinterested and got the vibe off of staff that we were seen as an inconvince to them despite buying drinks and weed this was one of only 2 shops we visted on our weeklong stay where we did not feel welcome

loved this C/S last time in town. sat downstairs and smoked with one of the best milkshakes i have ever tasted. Although the girl serving at the bar downstairs was the most miserable person i encountered in DAM.

maybe i caught her on a bad night god knows we all have them.

I'd never been in this place before late August – on a shopping street across from a hostel, without unambiguous recommendations, it didn't look promising. But I'd been pursuing a strategy of picking up grams of Nepal/Afghan under €10 from random shops I didn't know, looking for a good basic black; most of the time nothing stood out, and occasionally one would taste of henna, and I'd curse myself for not keeping close enough track to work out which it was by that stage.

But the gram of Nepal first creme from BB was special, the softest I've ever had, close to Birdy's in difficulty in handling at room temperature. I went back this time, and it was exactly as I'd remembered. Got another 2g on my last night and chatted with the helpful budtender, originally from Yorkshire but apparently quite happy to have relocated to a city with a good supply of hash and weed. He was very enthusiastic about the tbisla, letting me smell a massive chunk, and saying how I'd have to try it sometime. Which I plan to do, though I admit the weed menu intrigues me a bit more. Anybody know what shark's breath is like?

Anyway, it's unprepossessing from the outside and the inside, for that matter, and you have to go upstairs for the menu, and nobody knows what it has to do with the Blues Brothers. But the product is the real thing, so I'm looking forward to a return visit. And have learnt, not for the first time, not to judge a coffeeshop by its cover.

Upon further review, I might be mistaking sharks breath with lambs breath....but sharks breath is supposed to be good for anxiety so I Will give it a try

Jack Herer is spelt wrong and why have they put in brackets "Jack Flash". They are 2 different strains, how confusing :?

I think this is to do with numerous shops "claiming" that they are selling the Sensi Seeds Jack Herer when they are selling one of the many Jack crosses.

Bought the top end black hash when I was here 8 days ago. For the price it was a very nice smoke and had plenty of power behind it. Spent a very cheerful hour here with my partner chatting to the lady running the bar

Very nice looking menu. Reasonable pricing for the centrum too. Going to give it a try next visit.

What's the deal? You need to purchase drinks first downstairs then can buy and smoke upstairs?

unless it's changed , bt's counter + open smoking area upstairs, bar for drinks + open smoking area downstairs , I've never actually sat upstairs and smoked :mrgreen: get my smoke , back down to get a drink then sit at 1 of the window seats at the front making faces at the other tourists , there are prob a few who get home and check there photo's to find my ugly mug and middle finger staring back at them :mrgreen:

Anyone else know if they still have imo their weird pricing policy , 1 menu with strains and prices then another stuck to the counter saying ,€10 bag , €20 bag up to a €50 bag , it was something along those lines anyway :? :mrgreen:

Yes, I asked for a gram of the Nepal at €9.50, but the budtender pointed to a sign that had the ranges ft mentioned. So I got slightly over a gram for €10, and now wish I'd got more. It's not pre-bagged, so I have no idea why they do it, but I have long since learnt not to question whatever bizarre amounts a shop sells in, as long as the actual product is worth whatever price it is.
