Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

As mentioned in the master thread here, I'm looking for advice on what to smoke, specifically 3 different sets of criteria...


Just to make sure I have understood the basics (coming from someone who when living in England only really understood green weed & brown soapbar )
Indica is a sleepy, body stoned variety? And sativa is more a day time smoke, for those that still want to be able to move (a little).


Temple Ball - is a solid - a cerebral high, rather than can't move anywhere stoned - worth going to Stix for? Elsewhere, might not be the real deal?


Heavenly Lavender - weed - smooth, citrus, long lasting, little but cheaper? Is this still available?

Sticky Fingers - 8euros/gram?

Moonshine - the pre-rolled of these are strong at Tweede Kamer?

So, apart from the above, I'm looking for light smokes that can be had in the morning, and still move around. An evening smoke for slowing right down, maybe something a little special, and then a 'good night' send you to sleep, pre-bed smoke.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction? Don't care if it is weed or solid, but if supplies are likely to run out before September 21st, would you mind adding that info to your reply?

For me it is the opposite..I can function better on an Indica than I can on a Sativa..

Temple Ball - is a solid - a cerebral high, rather than can't move anywhere stoned - worth going to Stux for? Elsewhere, might not be the real deal?

It affects everyone differently and as for only going to stix..I would say it is just as good from willie wortels as it is there..

re. indica and sativa varities - have I got it the wrong way round, or is it just different for some people?

re. Nepal Temple Ball, & willie wortels recommendation - thanks for that, I'll add it the ever expanding list

I have the Temple Ball on my list as well,and it appears that either Stix or WW in Haarlem are the only places to get the real deal. Also I have heard that you must go to Homegrown Fantasy and get some AMAZING HAZE!

re. indica and sativa varities - have I got it the wrong way round, or is it just different for some people?

For me sativas are more couch lock then walk around type high..For me Indicas are much more fun to walk around on

We had a good time with the Sativas we bought, had a good clear high.
The Temple Ball we bought from Willie Wortels had a strong smell, good taste and made me active a bit

I can only speak for myself: the indicas can lock me down, they also really relax me so I walk a lot slower. I enjoy this for night time and for perusing the musuems, makes me take my time. I love smoking Sativa when I go for a bike ride or a long stroll across town. Of course I have no "rules". I remember smoking Temple Ball before a long night out on the town; Indian food, a concert and bar hopping until daylite. That shit got me going, but in a nice relaxed way.

the noons blueberry is very nice for the morning... also try out some nycdiesel from twede kamer.. very nice as well...

i also enjoyed many hazes in the morning or during the day.. one of my fav hazes are amnesia and nevilles haze... as well as mako haze

all that i have mentioned have incredible tastes (which are nice when its ur first j of the day) and all are uplifting and little to no burnout...

looks like this trip is going to be the polar opposite of my first one, all thanks to you guys (well an understanding wife, a good friend, and an airline's cheap plane tickets are also contributing ).
I've been making notes as everything gets posted, so ta to all for your advice.

The Temple Ball from any of the WW shops in Haarlem is the real deal and very reasonably priced, especially if you go for the buy 50 euros worth, get 25% free.

For this I would recommend the Nederskuff or tbliza available in the WW shops, the Lebanese is also very good

you could do a lot worse than try one of the premium strains from Grey Area, my personal favorite is the chocoloupe.

Here I would go for the Jack Herrer from Pink Floyd/Dampring which was exceptional in May, 32.50 euros for 5 grammes.

tied in with the CS thread I've just updated...
OK, this is the list (collated from here, channels and random googling, but not updated since 20/8 ), if anyone has a good reason to recommend removing any of these, please do let me know.
Having said that, if I've somehow missed any outstanding strains, again let me know, please.

Barney's Breakfast Bar - Helter Skelter, Cheese
Pink Floyd - jelly hash, jack herer
de Kuil - NYCD

Both Stix - Nepalese Balls, caramello cream, gun powder
Bush Docter (Amstel) - jelly hash, blueberry (assume the Thorbeckeplein will have the same supplier?)
Arabica Lounge - Afghan Haze, Silver Haze, Arabica Special hash
Greenhouse Namaste - good pre rolled SuperSilverHaze? (Until my UK friends get in, I'll have no baccy/rolling accessories)

Old Church - red lebonese, Royal Cream
Amnesia - Hazes
Grey Area - Sour Lope, Chocolope, Anunaki, cambodian haze, grey haze, noor hasj, grey sole, nepal creme ... any premium strains
Homegrown Fantasy - Amazing Haze, jolly green giant
Twede Kamer - NYC Diesel, Moonshine, Neville’s Haze,- Good hash in general?
Dampkring - NYCD, SSH, Laila. Rifman Zora(Salma), Super Silver Haze, Noor hasj, Jack Herer. Barney rubble or Waterworks for ice hash
Dolphins - WhiteDolphin

Willie Wortels - Nepalese Temple Ball at both Sativa & Indica?
Little - Citral
Mellow Yellow - orange haze, train wreck, blueberry
Katsu - Northern Light Special
Club Media - Hippie or Hindu Kush

The thing is some of these strains may not be around..If they are awesome if not just ask the budtender to recommend the topnotch smoke at the moment...Just keep your list of places and the bud will fall into place..

I appreciate some of them might not be around, thanks. I guess it just stems from only having weed or solid in Britain, and never knowing what type it was exactly... same situation as with my CS list, I'm not going to be upset if only a few are found, I'd just like to know which are good options if we see them I'll definitely be asking the bud tenders for assistance if I don't see anything I recognise, but also don't want to delay them for ages if the shop is busy at the time.
Thanks to all...

SS we have some shared items on both our lists. I saw Milehigh recommends the Diesel at Club Media, could be worth checking out.

Don't buy pre-rolled joints, they are just the shwag the shop couldn't sell as buds, besides it violates the cardinal rule about not buying weed you can't see...which takes us to shops that pre-package their weed in pre-weighed little bags: again, if you can't see it without the plastic. smell it, or touch it, you don't know what you're getting.
Toke on!
