Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

My purchases from here over the last few days -

Alien Technology 16e/g. There was a lot of waste in this "gram" probably weighed under 0.9 by the time I pulled the twigs out of it. Nice taste and strong high but too pricey for what I got.

Shoreline, OG Rollercoaster, OG Lemon (very nice), Sour Diesel, Amnesia (great value I think at 9e/g) Jack H, Northern Lights, White Widow and AK47 all good value at 7e/g.

I really like the weed from this place, been buying from there for 4 years I'd say but after reading some of the comments on here I brought a pocket scales with me (anal, I know) and I can say that maybe only the White Widow was the proper weight. 3 visits, Asian guy twice (Alien Tech weighed 0.95 before I pulled the twigs out of it) and Mo the other time, I got the WW from him. Most weighed 0.97/0.98..

I noticed they rarely go over on the weight and have to take some back off the scales. It's like they make an estimate when they drop on the scales and if it is close to a gram they just bag it.

I suppose it a personal thing whether being down 0.03 in your bag annoys you but the other 2 shops I bought from Utopia (Kuchi and Citral) and Voyagers (Don T, King Kong, Chocolope and the Tuesday special) both had top weed and were bang on or over in their weight.

thats how they make more $$

shave a bit for you.... and do this all day long.

thats how they sneak out a gram or 2 for the bud tender for free.

hate that shit.

I was very excited to try this shop for the first time a couple of years ago. I read plenty of good things on this site and they won third place at the CC three months prior so it was a MUST for me to drop in that time around. Ended up getting a gram of Buddah Tahoe OG 13 or 14 EUR...... and it was the worst smoke of my trip. It smelled ok but tasted horrible and had no effect. I went in sober smoked a blunt nothing. I should add my buddy bought a gram of the northern lights to mix with his hash and IMO it was better than the OG and at half the price I was very happy . Probably my fault for not inspecting but I was on a mission. I will not make that mistake next time.

Do you measure out every pint of beer or glass of wine to make sure you werent ripped off 3%.....seriously....0.03 is 3%....theres bigger problems in Amsterdam.

3 percent adds up over a day...honesty is appreciated

Well if you can choose between a 0.97 coffeeshop and a 1.1 coffeeshop , i go for the 1.1


plus all the weed i've had in the past 3years at GP sucked.
It was amazing in 2008 , but after 2010 they sell any crap they can find lol

it's a shame about this kind of behaviour. I used to know a tender that was working there since last year and every time I went to Green Place I bought on his recommedation the weed was great, some of the best I've ever smoked. Every time I chosed on my own weed was from decent to crappy so I think they usually have some 2 or 3 great choices and the tender know it, it depends on his honesty

Rvansteel haha dude je gaat toch niet voor 1.1 als dalijk ram crappy is ga toch liever voor die 0,97

Anyway its in most shops the same
depends on batch sometimes the batch is really good next day it sucks
but i get everytime i come here good weed and get never ripped or underweight ?
even with the asian dude lol

greetz

Unfortunately I have seen the young Asian BT under weigh before. He was caught out too and ended up weighing it to the gram only after it was mentioned to him by the customer. Not much difference but if you do that to almost every customer you are talking about quite a lot of money or free weed for the BT, especially in busy coffeeshops like this 1.

if they don't tell you they are keeping a small tip from your product, then this is dishonest! The quantity is irrelavent, the theft is intended to be carried out multiple times during a shift with the intention of gaining a free spliff every hour at the customers expense. I'd rather shop else where than feed the young Asians habit which he obviously cannot afford.

Last time i went in i actually said, i asked for 1 gram not 0.9, the flustered look on his face as he put another little bud in the bag...... I won't be seeing him again anytime soon

Nice bluff or did you bring a scale?


ps. What about BT's who throw, say, a 1.06gr bud on the scale and then spend half a minute picking at it to make it a nice and even 1.0gr? They're mutilating the bud cos of scale calibration errors

Nee ik ga voor 1.1 goede weed ipv 0.97 crap lol

No smoke without fire I guess but for what it's worth I've never had any trouble with either of the 2 BT's I've encountered here in the past. Always have a nice attitude and I've had 1.05 odd as regularly as the annoying picking to get it to a perfect gram.

Twizla is usually top notch. Rarely buy weed here, not because of bad experiences, but the last time I did the Silver Bubble was 10E and the best example of the strain I'd managed to find in 5 days

Im not saying it doesnt ....but my question was: would ANYONE ever measure out a pint of beer or glass of wine at a bar to make sure it was exactly as advertised on the bar menu?

99.999999999999999999999% would not....not sure why cannabis gets this special treatment....

TwoCanucks.. compare apples to apples... not apples to oranges bro.

beer is like 3bucks a piece.

a gram is like 10-20 bucks.

big difference, eh?

if you bought 3 beers and got 2 and half full on the third, you wouldn't say something?

Many budtenders who short you, do this on purpose ... a bit here, a bit there, it adds up over a shift. he'll get his 2-3 grams for himself.

just reporting what friends who are budtenders tell me.
