I also was interested to see if they have their own menu or if it´s still the menu from the plug. As far as I could tell they have a pretty similar menu to their coffeeshop in Den Haag. Most weed strains on the menu are the same like "Chocolatina", "Zingaro", "Vince Vaughn" and the prices were similar, too. While the hash menu looked not like the same with several new items on it like "Sultan Static (20€/g)" and different filtered hashes which were higher priced as the hashes they offer in Den Haag. But not sure on that because the newest pic of their menu in Den Haag is from august and so maybe their hash menu changed there,too.
I wanted to try their "Chocolatina" or "Sour Pop" weed which were reviewed by hazeface. I asked to see the "Sour Pop (12€/g)" which sadly was sold out at the moment. The friendly female budtender showed me Chocolatina (12€/g) instead which smelled very nice so I went for it. By the way that was a pretty good advice of the budtender because according to the reviews both strains are similar in smell
I sat down upstairs and rolled a joint while I could listen to a conversation of the staff and some others below. I don't want to go into too much detail here because I don't understand who exactly they were talking about. I also heard a name but it wasn't Jack and since I don't know the context I don't want to spread any false information.
I researched a bit on the web and it seems like that Coffeeshop The Plug took over Coffeeshop ‘t Klavertje in Amersfoort and in this coffeeshop the police found 260.000€ hidden in the ceiling and 34 times more weed/hash than the shop should have. The shop had to close for 6 months because of that. Within these 6 months, the building was broken into and the basement flooded, delaying the reopening further and further. Now the city of Amersfoort wanted to revoke the Plug's license and closed the coffeeshop because the coffeeshop had not complied with its requirements, which included that the business had to start within one year after the takeover. "The Plug" went to court to be allowed to reopen the coffeeshop because the opening date could no longer be met due to the break-in and the flooding in the basement. The court has now ruled in favor of the plug and the coffeeshop is allowed to reopen. (source: https://cannabisindustrie.nl/coffeeshop ... e-rechter/)
So I am not really sure what going on there. I saw Jack sitting in front of the Plug location near Dam (old Utopia) like usual.
Chocolatina (12€/g) - Buds looked interesting. Pretty dense hard smaller nuggs . The buds looked like they were not trimmed by hand or is it because of the genetics? I am not sure on that but the bud structure looked pretty special to to me (very uniform looking smaller buds...). To be honest I was a bit skeptical because of the look of the buds but the smell was so damn nice to my nose Well I am not the best in describing smell/taste but for me it smelled kind of floral natural and was this kind of smell were you know that will be a intense tasty smoke. And yes it was tasty Also here kind of floral taste to me intense but very smooth to smoke. I really liked this , although I can imagine that the taste might not be to everyone's liking because it´s kind of special. Effect is also good bit kind of uplifting but also on the body. Maybe not the strongest but it made me well medicated
Overall for 12€/g damn nice weed. Smokes very nice with a special taste. Really liked it
The interior of the coffeeshop is still the same. I really enjoyed my time there. Personally, I think it's good to have another new menu in town with different strains.
The more shops he buys, the more he comes under the authorities focus. If you are just momentarily careless, it can all be over very quickly. You also have to be careful not to become too greedy and risk everything.
