Camera Used: Cellphone

Name: 420 Kush

From: 420 Cafe (Coffee Shop)

Grade: A

Type: Indica

Price: 10 Euro/g

Looks: Lovely tight little nuggets.

Smell: Can’t remember, sorry guys.

Taste: Tastes so nice in the vaporizers they have behind the bar at the 420 Cafe.  Was ripping vapes all day at 420 – I’m surprised they put up with me for so long.  Even when smoked in a bowl or joint it went down nicely…not as harsh like other strains in Amsterdam.

Buzz Type: A nice strong high, not as good as the haze they have at 420 though.

Buzz Length: Very long.  The last bag I smoked before we left, was still high when I was going through customs in the UK.

Overall: Really nice weed, well grown and a very strong strain.  I smoked about five grams of this over the weekend, kept coming back and buying more.  Couldn’t get enough of this.

Buzz Report: Arriving in Amsterdam I knew the first coffee shop I wanted to go to was 420 to try their 420 haze.  On arrival I was told that they don’t do the haze or it’s their Neville’s Haze, something like that, didn’t really understand what the matey was on about.  So I got a gram of the 420 Kush they were entering in the Cannabis Cup.  I can remember thinking how nice and tasty it was in those vapes, the staff were very friendly as well.  –Spamz

So here is a little breakdown of how it went down (from what I can remember) with a few pics from our last shop of the crawl. (I am not going to mention anyone’s name’s or nickname’s specifically. They can do that)

We sent out an email before we left to everyone that had contacted Mrs. Chubbs saying they would be in Amsterdam for the 2009 Cannabis Cup and wanted to attend the crawl.

Mrs. Chubbs really likes Dampkring so we decided to start the crawl there at 4:20pm.

Well, for those of you that have never been to Amsterdam, there are 2 Dampkring locations.

Mrs. Chubbs was under the impression she did a good job of letting people know exactly which of the 2 Dampkring’s to go to but of course there was some confusion.

We showed up at Dampkring #1 around 4:00 with our MR sweatshirts on and walked upstairs.

We had just finished a huge breakfast of both sweet (powder sugar) and savory (cheese and bacon) dutch pancakes and were ready to party.

We happened to sit down next to the 1 person that was already there waiting for us.

He mentioned his name and that he was waiting for “Chubbs”. I introduced myself and then lit up a FAT joint and unpacked my rented RooR. It was great.

At 4:30, when no one else had shown up, we knew there was probably an issue with the location and decided to hang out.

Luckily we did because at around 5:00 4 more “crawlers” that had been waiting at Dampkring #2 arrived.

Everyone that showed up was very cool, very down to earth and Mrs. Chubbs and I really had a good time hanging out/blazing with everyone at Dampkring but it was time to move on.

We had a bit of a loose plan but after hearing about a couple specific strains, we decided to make our way over to the 420 Cafe in search of the 420 Kush. (Forgot to photograph the 420 Kush)

We walked into the 420 Cafe and it was packed with very little available seating so we all grabbed a few grams of the 420 Kush and walked across the street/alley to De Kroon.

De Kroon had generated a bit of a buzz with their version of OG Kush (review coming soon) and I was anxious to give it a shot.

The 7 of us found a really cool spot in the back of De Kroon to kick back and that is where I decided Hash Bash 2009 was on!

In addition to the pretty good OG Kush from De Kroon and the 420 Kush from the 420 Cafe, this incredible session consisted of a whole bunch of the eventual Cup winning strain Super Lemon Haze as well as at least 5 or 6 more strains that everyone pitched in.

This was not a session for beginners.

The reason I called it Hash Bash 2009 is all the hash that was smoked (Obviously).

I had a ton of hash in my bag and I needed to make room.

I broke out with 5 or 6 different kinds of hash and who knows how many more everyone else added. Take a look:

It’s not that often that you get to hang out in a chill spot, with a group of cool people you just met and have what I thought was a really good time.

So check this out. As we are sitting in the very back of De Kroon blazing HEAVILY (we had it SO hotboxed), this little stoner cat comes walking down the stairs.

Stoner Cat looks around and apparently decided we had the best sesh’ going because he jumped up on the stool that was right next to me and kicked back for a while. It was VERY COOL.

There was something about either him or the look on his face that had me and one other crawler in tears as we were laughing so hard. Good Times. 

It seemed as though time stood still while we were there. It was awesome.

It was almost simultaneously that we all looked at each other and decided we needed to eat.

Mrs. Chubbs and I wanted to thank everyone that attended the 2009 Marijuana Reviews Cannabis Cup Coffee Shop Crawl and even those of you that waited at Dampkring #2 and never made it. Sorry for the mix up.

After the crawl, Mrs. Chubbs and I headed over to this great little Italian restaurant called Caprese (review coming soon) for dinner and dessert.

Take a look at this dessert. It was so damn good that I had to take pictures of it. (We literally ordered 1 of every dessert on the menu)

We’ll be at the 2010 Cannabis Cup with an even bigger presence than this year and you can bet we’ll be hosting another Cannabis Cup Coffee Shop Crawl so start planning for next year.  –Chubbs

2008 Cannabis Cup – Another great event that was one to remember. Gotta love the snow.

Super Lemon Haze – One very sweet smelling sativa that when vaped, may be the best tasting herb around.

Barney’s – With 3 locations right on the same street you can bet that Barney’s is one of the hottest spots in the Dam.

Greenhouse Ice – Definitely one of the highest percentages of THC available in all of Amsterdam. Or at least that I could find.

Webiste: www.420cafe.com

Grade: A-

Type: Sativa

Price: Appx. $10/Gram

Looks: Had a distinct red tint to the nug that can be attributed to the coating of mature amber trichomes. Was a bit dry and crunchy.

Smell: Strong tangy/fruity smell.

Taste: Tasted decent. Seems each Haze variety in Amsterdam I tried had it’s own unique flavor as opposed to some Kush’s I smoke here in the U.S. that taste very similar.

Buzz Type: Very clean body high. Felt the buzz immediately after exhaling my first toke.

Buzz Length: Medium. I was really wishing the buzz would have lasted a bit longer. I really enjoyed the high.

Overall: A great variety of Haze that was almost perfectly cured. Unfortunately the buzz did not last as long as I would have liked.

Buzz Report: Sitting in the 420 Cafe with some people that my wife and I had just met, I smoked my entire sample of 420 haze in one joint. Man the thin papers that the coffee shops provide you with for free really bring out the taste in the herb. I kept commenting on how good the 420 Haze tasted.  –Chubbs

When you call your coffee shop the 420 Cafe, I am expecting a laid back environment with A LOT of pot smoke in the air. And when I walked into the 420 Cafe while on my 2008 Cannabis Cup coffee shop crawl,that is exactly what I found.

Centrally located in close to what I consider the middle of the city, 420 Cafe is a place where you can go by yourself and will making new friends in no time. The main reason in my opinion that it’s such a great place to socialize is the long picnic style table and benches that are in the back of the shop. It’s almost impossible not to say hello to the person right across the table from you as you both sit back and enjoy a fatty.

The bud that 420 Cafe entered into the 2008 Cannabis Cup was called 420 Haze. I vaguely remember the bud so thank god I was able to sit down and write a review as I smoked it. Also, when we were at the 420 Cafe we met a couple in their early 40’s from Tennessee. They were bikers and had a pretty good nose for good bud. So they actually "helped" me with the review. I’ll be posting it later today or tomorrow morning.

The Shop itself it pretty nice. As you walk in you can help but feel welcome with all the rich, dark hardwood. Almost immediately you are greeted by the bud tender behind the bar. They have a decent size menu but since I was there specifically for The Cup, I only went with their entry. I wish I would have tried a bit of their hash or one of their indicas. Oh well, there is always next time.

It’s a bit of a narrow building (as many shops are) with a very cozy feel, great staff and enough room for everyone to sit back and unwind. A great place to party for sure!

ABOVE – A chunk of some 420 Haze

420 Cafe is definitely a coffee shop that I will be visiting on my next trip to Amsterdam. One thing I will never forget about my trip was sitting in the back of the 420 Cafe chatting with the couple from Tennessee and getting WASTED. As we are sitting there, another couple comes over and sits down. They are from Japan and are obviously there for The Cup as they both have passes around their necks. Neither of them introduce themselves so the 4 of us just kind of sit back and hang out.

Anyway, to make a long story short, the Japanese guy rolls up a fat ass joint of some 420 Haze and mixes in a little hash. About half way through the joint he looks RIPPED. I could of swore his eyes were shut but he was able to look around and talk with his girl. I hope I don’t offend anyone but the first thing that came to mind was "man, that guy is seriously Chinese eyed". (For those who don’t know, "Chinese Eyed" is a slang term for really baked). That 1 thought in my head made me start cracking up. Now remember, there are 5 other people at the table with me and none know what I am thinking/laughing at.

Everyone just kind of looked at me and brushed it off as me being high. But man was I laughing hard. That’s one thing I really like about Amsterdam and The Cannabis Cup, you never know who you are going to meet or where they will be from. Definitely and international party.  –Chubbs
