From: Grey Area (Coffee Shop – Amsterdam)

LA Confidential From Go Green Bear (mundane)

Chubbs — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 06:15:26 +0000

LA Confidential is a strain that brings back warm fuzzy memories of our first time in Amsterdam. Do any particular strains bring back strong memories for you?

Submitted By: mundane (Member)

Camera Used: Nikon Coolpix 2500

Name: LA Confidential

From: Go Green Bear (Dispensary – Los Angeles)

Grade: A+

Type: Indica

Price: $45/8th

Looks: Bright green with some light and dark. Short, dark orange hairs. Ground up, the greens really stand out.

Smell: Light, refreshing and piney, like a walk through the pine trees.

Taste: Vaped – like a pine forest in winter. Smoked – like weed when it was new to me (and the taste was so strong and distinctive). This tastes the way that I think marijuana is "supposed" to taste.

Buzz Type: Strong and relaxing. It eases me to sleep.

Buzz Length: Long. Three hours.

Overall: If I hadn’t bought the last 8th, I would’ve driven back for more. I cannot put the whip down when I vape this. I end up with cotton mouth, but the taste was so wonderful that I don’t want to drink anything.

It reminds me of salted sunflower seeds, and not necessarily how they taste, but more how they make my mouth feel after I’ve spent a while eating them. I think my favorite part of it is just inhaling it and getting that taste in my mouth. –mundane

And at those prices – holy cow! –Mrs. Chubbs

From: Private Dealer

Grade: A-

Type: Indica

Price: $65/8th

Looks: Multicolored buds with minimal leaves. Abundant orange hairs with little hints of purple mixed in with different hues of green.

Smell: Piney and sweet. Kush aroma but a little sweeter.

Taste: Taste was really impressive. Joints tasted good until the very last toke.

Buzz Type: Heavy couch lock buzz with amazing visual stimulations.

Buzz Length: Long. Lasted about an hour to two before the high faded.

Overall: Smoked this before the new Wolverine movie. Definitely enhanced the special effects. Bud structure was extremely tight like most Kush. Grinder was a must for this strain. –Meangreenmartian

L.A. Confidential (Herbal Solutions)

Chubbs — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 14:57:57 +0000

After having smoked countless numbers of strains, surprisingly there are a few that stand out from the rest. L.A. Confidential is one of them. Take a look at this sample from Herbal Solutions.

Name: L.A. Confidential

From: Herbal Solutions Compassionate Caregivers (Dispensary – Long Beach)

Grade: A

Type: Indica

Price: $75/8th

Looks: Just about perfect. When I think of what a kind indica nug should look like this is what comes to mind. Frosty, lime green, a little purple and lots of flowers.

Smell: Like a freshly rained on pine forest.

Taste: As smooth as can be. Very minty flavor when inhaling that turns a little skunky when exhaling.

Buzz Type: Very intense head high right away followed up by an overwhelming body tingle. Very mellowing

Buzz Length: Long. Normal session keeps you very high for at least 2 hours, usually longer.

Overall: With so many dispensaries offering L.A. Confidential, I get really excited when I find a version that was grown with love as this definitely was.

Buzz Report: I ended up going back to Herbal Solutions the next morning and was lucky enough to get another quarter. I smoked this bud and this bud only for a good 4 days straight. –Chubbs

L.A. Confidential (Reseda Discount Caregivers)

Chubbs — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 18:38:51 +0000

Proving that just because something is purchased from a medical dispensary does not mean it is dank. Check out this poor sample of L.A. Confidential I got from Reseda Discount Caregivers recently. I was very disappointed to say the least.

Name: L.A. Confidential

From: Reseda Discount Caregivers (Dispensary – Tarzana)

Grade: B+

Type: Indica

Price: $60/8th

Looks: Awesome. Not as much purple as I have seen on other LAC but a little on the inside of each bud. Nice big, chunk buds with dark orange hairs.

Smell: The 1st sign that this was going to be a bummer. Smelled like it had been in the pill bottle for months. Kind of like cat piss. I know this smell well as I use to have the same issues when I was growing. No signature L.A. Confidential pine smell at all.

Taste: Very close to the smell. Tangy. Made my tongue itch.

Buzz Type: Almost immediately I was feeling a great indica buzz. Very heavy, very red, very low eyes.

Buzz Length: Medium. I was high for almost 2 hours after 2 fat bong tokes.

Overall: I bought a quarter without even looking at it based on the reputation of L.A. Confidential. Last time I do that. If it smelled and tasted better it would have easily earned at least an A- but it was pretty bad.

Buzz Report: I was shocked at how quickly I went through the quarter of L.A. confidential. The buzz was great and I would definitely buy the fresh version of this bud all day long. –Chubbs

I don’t think I have ever met someone who has smoked well grown L.A. Confidential and did not really like it. Amanda sent in this review of some DANK!

Submitted By: Amanda (Member and Editor)

Name: L.A. Confidential

From: Grassroots (Dispensary – San Francisco)

Grade: A+

Type: Indica

Price: $50/8th

Looks: The nugs were just beautiful and very sticky to the touch.

Smell: They smelled delicious, spicy and sweet at the same time.

Taste: The taste mirrored the smell and was a wonderful combination tasting slightly of cinnamon. The smoke was not harsh (or if it was, it did not matter enough for me to remember) and I had to un-clog my bong many times due to how highly resinous L.A. Confidential is.

Buzz Type: Relaxing body high.

Buzz Length: Long. 3-4 Hours.

Overall: The high was just wonderful. It was immediate and overpowering. The second that first hit entered my lungs I was whisked off to a wonderful marijuana land where my body was completely relaxed and my mind was clouded, but functional and uplifted.

I expected L.A. Confidential to knock me right on my ass, but it didn’t. It was the perfect combination of being relaxed and having a good body stone while not being weighed down or feeling encumbered.

When it was time, and the high started wearing off she delivered me into a wonderful uninterrupted sleep.

L.A. Confidential was EVERYTHING that I look for in marijuana. It made me relaxed without being too tired in the beginning, brought my creative mind forward and uplifted my mood. In the end, I slept like a baby without feeling knocked out or drugged. Plus, the high was very long lasting – which is hard for my tolerance.

I love L.A. Confidential and I know that I will probably never pass it by again. –Amanda

Those nugs look absolutely scrumptious! Like you Amanda, I too will never again pass up an opportunity to buy some L.A. Confidential. –Chubbs

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of smoking, looking at, smelling, or even reading about L.A. Confidential. And thanks to Meangreenmartian, I have some new pics to drool over.

Submitted By: Meangreenmartian (Member and Editor)

Name: L.A. Confidential

From: Grey Area (Coffee Shop – Amsterdam)

Grade: A+

Type: Indica

Genetics: OG LA Affie x Afghani

Price: $17/G

Looks: L.A. Confidential looks so good you want to eat it. Such bright, purple hued multicolored nugs with abundant red hairs. Totally iced out.

Smell: Has the standard OG Kush/fuel/pinesol funk.

Taste: Lemonhead Candy

Buzz Type: Strong narcotic buzz. Stony body and head high that keeps you relaxed. Good anxiety smoke.

Buzz Length: Long. 2 hours+. I would smoke this all day if I did not turn into a zombie.

Overall: Such a good strain. This was just as good as the L.A. Confidential I reviewed from Green Place. Folks, if you have the chance to get to Amsterdam, Grey Area is a must. Only American owned shop there and they have such a killer selection of dank fire that you won’t want to leave the place once you get there. If you have access to these beans I suggest getting them in some organic soil ASAP and experience the joys of this amazing connoisseur quality marijuana. –Meangreenmartian

I can’t think of any other strain off hand that has consistently been able to get me super high the way L.A. Confidential has. Great review. –Chubbs

Meangreenmartian comes through with a review of one of my all time favorite strains, L.A. Confidential. Let’s see how it compares to the L.A.C. I smoked from De Tweede Kamer.

Submitted By: meangreenmartian (Member)

From: Green Place (Coffee Shop)

Grade: A+

Type: Indica

Genetics: OG LA Affie x Afghani

Price: $15/G

Looks: Bought a very hard, tight, dark nugget.

Smell: Unreal Kush smell. Lemon Pinesol.

Taste: Like some lemon cherry. If you ate all the original flavors in a Starburst pack at once is a good way to describe the taste.

Buzz Type: Knock down stone. Gives the body a nice buzz that lasted us a while in our local coffee shop.

Buzz Length: Long. Me and a friend rolled 2 one gram joints that had us baked for a couple hours.

Overall: Loved smoking L.A. Confidential at night. Tasted so good and knocked you out for a great nights sleep. This was my first time going to The Green Place and will not be my last.

I put this place in the top 2 in The Dam and the fact that it stocks DNA Genetics gear make it a must visit. –meangreenmartian

While it can be a bit difficult to locate, coffee shop De Tweede Kamer which translates to "second room" in Dutch, is one of my personal favorites. Situated in an alley way between 2 busy streets, you really need to keep your eyes open when trying to find this place. But trust me, once you do, you’ll see why it was worth the journey.

De Tweede Kamer is very popular with locals and connoisseur’s who appreciate a nice quiet spot to chill and smoke some of the best quality marijuana and hash that you will find in all of Amsterdam. Not very big at all there is room for about 15 people to sit comfortably. Being so small there is a very "homey" feel that hits you right when you walk in. Located in the back of the shop is the bar.

I walked up to the bar and was handed a menu that listed such strains as L.A. Confidential, Grape, and Jack Herer. One unique thing about De Tweede Kamer’s menu is that is lists the type of buzz you can expect to feel. The picture below is the best I could do. It was pretty dark inside and I had to use my flash.

ABOVE – Menu from De Tweede Kamer

On my first visit to De Tweede, I was there solely to pick up some of their Cannabis Cup entry called L.A. Confidential. I walked up to the counter and asked for a gram of their "cup bud". The guy working there broke out with a big container that had about an ounce of choice nugs in it. One very cool thing about De Tweede Kamer is that when the bar tender hands you a bud to look at, he hits a switch with his foot and a spotlight right above the bar lights up and you can see every trichome on every bud. It’s very convenient.

After seeing the L.A. Confidential under lights, I decided to double my order and go with 2 grams, the max you are allowed to buy of this bud at one time. This stuff was GREAT. Back home we call bud like this "Christmas Tree Bud" because of the overpowering pine smell.

With my purchase complete I sat down at the table my wife had grabbed. It was a little 2 seater table that faced one of the windows looking outside. I will never forget sitting there rolling up a couple fatty’s when it started to snow outside. It was like something out of a movie. Big giant snowflakes falling in the alley right in front of us. Every so often a customer would walk in and a rush of cold air would blow through the shop.

ABOVE – L.A. Confidential

ABOVE – Grape

Hanging out at De Tweede Kamer again is something I am already looking forward to. The next time I am in Amsterdam it is definitely going to be the first coffee shop I hit up. With it’s wood paneling, just a few booths and a couple tables, quality selection and friendly staff, De Tweede Kamer is my personal favorite coffee shop in Amsterdam. –Chubbs

L.A. Confidential (De Tweede Kamer)

Chubbs — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 17:28:07 +0000

While on my quest to find the perfect nug in Amsterdam, I visited a coffee shop called De Tweede Kamer. It is a little hole-in-the-wall shop that mainly caters to locals and connoisseur’s. And that is where I came across L.A. Confidential, their 2008 Cannabis Cup entry and some of the best weed I smoked all week.

From: De Tweede Kamer (Coffee Shop)

Grade: A+

Type: Hybrid

Price: Appx. $15/G

Looks: Great. Nice big tight nugs with some purple leaves.

Smell: Like a giant pine tree forest.

Taste: Clean and fresh. Great overall bud.

Buzz Type: Heavy stone that you feel before exhaling your first hit.

Buzz Length: Long. I was stoned all morning after smoking a 1 gram joint.

Overall: If you by chance are reading this from Amsterdam, head over to De Tweede Kamer and get some of this asap. A great heavy indica that makes no apologies for getting you so high.

Buzz Report: When I bought this bud it was snowing outside. I was freezing so I decided to chill at the coffee shop and grind up the entire bud into 1 joint. Turned out to be a great decision. I got so damn baked that when I left, the snow did not bother me at all. –Chubbs
