oh and FIND Kashmir Lounge. Just do it..

Haven't been for about 10 years after being an every couple of month visitor. My all time go-to has always been Grey Area - in Singel. Can be a mission to find but for me the original standard for what was in Dam. Green Place has also been mentioned is a chill and good menu (think I recall Batman @ €22!!!!!) not like the old days of €20 for a 3.5...Abraxas I love, and get into Spuistraat some nice little places there inc. Kadinsky. Enjoy.

The first place I tried in Amsterdam was a little place opposite Vondel Park simply called Vondel.
It was a nice reintroduction to weed for me after years without it.
I honestly can't remember prices but I thought the atmosphere was nicely chilled and the clientele mainly seemed to be local students.
If you're hungry Vegan Junk Food is incredible!

For bud quality and top smokes head to Borenjongens. Borenjongens have changed the game in Amsterdam massively with their own Amsterdam Genetics. Their coffee shops are always rammed so best to buy your smokes and head somewhere else to smoke.

Other good places for product is Grey Area and Barneys. Barneys is a good place to smoke.

I would then take your weed and head to Amnesia personally though. Proper chilled vibes in there. Tweede Kramer and Kandinsky are great too.

Here are a couple of impressions from my Amsterdam trip. Maybe they will be of help.to future travelers.

Kadinsky - cozy atmosphere, lovely view out of the front windows, sits at the front windows. "Big Buddha Cheese", "AK47" and "Gelato" - all had a nice quality to them and were easy and enjoyable to smoke. The chosen music was not always to my taste, but they also played some nice jazzy or soul tracks. I also tried the space cake there - it really glued me down to the sit. All in all it was my favourite

Easy Times - clublike atmosphere, even with a DJ, the stuff seemed stressed and it was really crowded. I couldnt really harmonize with the vibes of the place. They have a good selection of weed. "Tangerine cookies" - really nice smoke!

1ehulp - orientally stylized. Was full, when I came the first day. On the second day I got in. There are three levels and a couple of small alcoves... For me the place felt a kind of narrow, but it might have been the effect of the herbs... "Gorilla Skittlez"... Bought and rolled, hadnt tried, yet. They have moon rocks. But you have to walk a bit to get there.

Paradox - it felt like a student coffee shop (not in a bad way) The prices are cheaper compared to other places. The stuff is nice and friendly. It was the coffee shop with the most light...
And I was told that they are famous for their space cake (1gr in each slice). I got some, but hadnt tried it yet.

Hans Brinker Hostel - cheaper way to spend the night in a bed than in a hotel. Breakfast is included and was good.
They have a bar and a club. The rooms have been clean. I think especially for groups who can book a whole room with 6 or 8 beds for themselves it is a good place to stay.

Thanks for.all the advices! Cheers to everybody! :-)

Borenjongens is the number 1 without a doubt mate

Hey, if you fancy getting away from the tourist areas try the Westerpark district.

A couple of really nice Coffee shops in that area, first is Coffeeshop Chaputeau, it’s just a walk in service but the prices are insanely good, quality of the smoke is high and there always a line of friendly locals to chat to.
A couple of streets away from that is a Moroccan coffee shop called Coffeeshop Freedom (this one has seats),small but high quality menu and the hash is top class. Again mostly full of friendly of locals, highly recommend.
Plenty of nice restaurants in the area too. Well worth it if you fancy a break from the chaos.

The plug is always a great stop, not to far from Dam square and has a great choice of Cali buds.

Coffeeshop get down to it . loved it

Not sure when was posted I am New to lb. If you have already been I hope you had a great time I absolutely love the place. My favourite is coffee shop jonny. Only 2 seats or something so pay and go place. Just a mention for voyagers personally never had any issue at this place always first stop because of proximity to central station.

Some are more up market than others. Some have higher prices in the more tourist areas. I had the best sativa ever there. We were there again recently. Such a great city in general. I felt safe there and had great experiences wandering about till 4am. Glasgow is much more dangerous at night. Just don't get too wasted
And be careful if you try anything in a smart shop. Some of that stuff is very strong.

Smartshops have other stuff than weed?

My ex was dutch and I've been there too many times to remember, 420 cafe mate it's got boom bud and its not as loud and cheesy as most of them, used to be cat that always attacked me, probably it's dead now, but yeah 420 cafe for me cant beat it, it used to be a pub, sitting at the bar with their bong is where you wanna be , also I forget the name but get a train to Rotterdam head for the bilderberg hotel , has no seats but the smoke is next level , plus it's good to get out of Amsterdam Rotterdam in my opinion is a better city just not as many coffee shops

Awesome recommendation! However bear in mind they have 2 shops. I would recommend visiting the original one on Singel, previously known as the Dutch Flowers. All product is the same, but the shop itself is in a quieter area and a much nicer place to sit and enjoy your smokes! It's been a family favourite for 3 generations now!

I had the opportunity to smoke some excellent local stuff from Grey Area as well as fire Jungle Boy's materials at the Green Place.
1e HULP always got quality hash and buds, too.

Grey area was good it’s small and gets super busy and we happened upon a cafe called flower power, we brought these chocolate Bon Bons they were so thick and chocolaty but when you opened them up they were bright green, the guy who sold it to us was like just eat half, don’t eat a whole one and see how you get on. Me in my infinite wisdom thought fuck that I will be fine and ate the whole thing and woke up the next morning with recollection of the night before, my wife said I’d just passed out. Twat on tour but there we go I got excited I’d never been to Amsterdam before. Have a fucking awesome time.

Haha :-) I will be carefull with the amount of chocolate bonbons I eat. Dont wont to completely pass out somewhere...

The grey area is good but I love the stud and Ibiza they bit out of the way but so worth it. The stud dose €5,€10,€20 deals really good stuff and ibiza has some real out of this world type stuff.

Been a while, but I was very impressed with Greenhouse Koffeeshop in the 'dam (it's one of the most well known ones and was friendly). Very good quality menu. Had some Organic Trainwreck there that was amazing, even though I'm usually more of an Indica fan.

Not every Koffeeshop in the Dam is quality. Some sell crap, surprisingly. Others are weirdly hostile to foreigners. Seek out the good ones - there are loads.

Good luck, it's a pretty awesome place.

Cool! Thanks for all the recommended coffeeshops. I have to make a plan to visit a couple of them and not get stuck in the first one :)

Green place, grey area etc but i love Kadinskys

Love Kandinskys too, the best NYC Diesel I ever smoked was from there.

+1 this. Always used to buy the 5g deals of it and it was the best smoke ever. Sadly not seen it for a couple of years on my many visits now :( so i think they must have lost that supply sadly.

Cant beat the 5g deal at Kandinskys :)

Agreed mate! Had a true Strawberry Haze there too which was different to seed versions commonly available. Claimed to be 100% sativa (cant confirm or refute the genetics ) but fuck me i walked out with eyes lile id be on disco biscuits lol and set me up for a great afternoon walk ill tell you that. Best thing about Kadinskys is that great window open wide, just watching the world go by. Spent many an hour in that window as a solo smoker and is awesome for some people watching where you see some very interesting lol things
BH

That sounds like an awesome Amsterdam moment, there’s some special stuff to be found in the right places. I bet those Dutch growers have some amazing cuts.
But oh man, those window seats are the best, reading that took me back there for a moment... ahh, good times, can’t wait for summer.

Kadinsky Coffeeshop Rosmarijnsteeg

Batman, Silver Bubble and Lemon Tangie are really good from Green Place.

1E Hulp and Green Place are 2 of the best Smokeys and Bulldogs are shit but plenty of other great ones too.
Haarlem and Zandoort are also worth a short trip on the train from Amsterdam loads of great Coffeeshops there too and bit quieter and cheaper.

I am there only for a weekend... So unfortunately there will be no time for trips to other cities... But thank you for the recommendations! 1E Hulp seems to have a good reputation.

Definitely 1eHulp, always have a great selection of quality bud for average prices of €6-€14.
And oh man their edibles taste so good.
Too good infact, it'll make you want to eat 4 slices of their cake in one sitting! (p.s do NOT eat 4 slices in a sesh)

1eHulp great for local prices, bit out of the way but worth it. Dampkring always a great way to smoke away a few hours.

The cake sounds nice! Definetly will try some of it :-)

That's a shame but your defo have fun mate. I got stuck in a gin house my last time there it's in on of the side streets from the bulldog the red light district one lol it's the oldest gin house in the world check it out if you can.

Yes theres another Coffee Shop with like a Rasta theme right near there that's really good too cant actually remember the name.

I remember 1 like that you could play chess an read books so out there

Siberie is good, not too far from Centraal station.

I was a big fan of Siberie also! Also Dampkring & Barneys are close by. Amnesia was also a great place

Amnesia is my top choice , I’m over due a visit , enjoy

Katsu in the de pijp area, a lot of locals use it. Lovely wee place,.great atmosphere and some great weed and hash.

Any that go to a higher temp will do, the trouble is the mess that melted hash makes. I'd recommend using a little degummed hemp fibre around your hash to protect whatever-the-vape's chamber. Or, my preferred method, a Mighty/Crafty using the little dosing capsule's they make - just have to bin 'em afterwards. But truth be told, I still prefer smoking hash... it can be done, but the pressed stuff just becomes a faff to vape effectively.

sounds intriguing what are the closing capsules. i really want a nice vape but i don't ever want to clean it i'd rather take my chances with carts :)

if you missed this blockbuster video description check it out

The dosing capsules are cheap, disposable containers that perfectly fit the Mighty/Crafty/Plenty chambers (available in packs of 50 I think). They're made from aluminium with tiny holes punched across their surface - you fill them with herb (or indeed, hash), put the lid on and drop the whole capsule into the vape chamber. Once it's vaped up, you just take the capsule out and chuck the whole thing (you can re-use them if you're careful, but tricky with melty hash).

Thanks man, I was leaning towards a mighty and this has confirmed it for me. Cheers!

I like eating hash and vaping skunk?

Had been struggling with this myself. I finally found a way that works well. DynaVap with some hemp fiber works great for some harder hash, the soft stuff you can rosin press. You can check my profile for writeups on this if you are interested.

However I think heating it and crumbling it would achieve similar results. But the dynavap you can go a bit passed the click, like 2-4 seconds is great for hash.

The first vape I bought was a vapman. At the time I wanted something for vaping hash. It needs a butane lighter but I did some research and it fitted the bill. An awesome vape for hash. The flavour was unreal.

I’ve tried so many and failed tbh, you need the right hash firstly, soft pliable hash just doesn’t work end of, get a nice dry hard hash and experiment, I’m using a hard hash in my Flowerpot with the Weedeater head and it’s working a treat.

I use the Mighty, scrunch and bend a 20mm gauze into a sort of bowl which fits inside the chamber, keeps it clean. Fill the gauze bowl, generally works better if broken into smaller pieces. Vape at higher temps 390 - 410 f. Nice warm hash stone. Boundless Terp Pen is quite cheap, I hear it works well with concentrates but is somewhat inefficient with the product. There are some decent threads on reddit related to the subject, definitely not a lot of info around on the subject as I also checked around at one time. Have only vaped mid range hash, different from smoking, you'll have to compare and contrast for yourself, I like both. A bong with or without ice cubes, or glass pipe full of hash, are nice, too.

Well had a nose at this the other day. Gotta say a big thanks as I took the plunge and got a crafty. Brilliant! Such a welcomed change, love the high and the taste is insane!
I had one of the first vapes years and years ago and it was useless. Now this things on a whole different level. Unfortunately the battery is rubbish and the cartridge is to small, solution was to order the Mighty. Anyone want to buy a crafty lol better if you’re out and about I suppose but for a longer session vape it looks like the mighty all the way.

Thanks this was a greatly received post and responses spot on.

I did have some silver haze hash available many moons ago,
You can check out my old product listing above .

The Green Team has SILVER HAZE X KRITIKAL. That might be close to what you're looking for. It works for me.

Yeah boy. That hash is nice.

Hi Johnson420

Haven't seen any SSH hash for sale on here yet but I'd love to get some myself. I have however had radar breeders SSH Dutch import flower which was lovely.

SSH is one of my all time favourite strains so I can more than appreciate your interest in getting what you're after. Good luck!

Went there last year johnson have to agree with you the ssh hash is amazing just sprinkles in your hand literally like dust
