Camera Used: Sony Cybershot DSCS780

Name: Amnesia Ice

From: Amnesia (Coffee Shop – Amsterdam)

Grade: A

Type: Dutch Ice-o-Lator Hash

Price: $50/g

Looks: Like little pieces of a lighter shade delicate milk chocolate.  This stuff was like lightly compacted powder.

Smell: Strong chocolatey, incense smell that is relinquished when you put a flame to it and see it bubble.

Taste: Smooth complex taste that I found similar to the Waterworks Iceolator hash from De Dampkring.

Buzz Type: Creepy sativa high that seems to never reach its pinnacle.  Highly potent.

Buzz Length: Long.  Buzz lasted for so damn long, easily 2 1/2 hours +.

Overall: This might have been the best hash we smoked all trip.  Mostly went straight kief and Amnesia Ice bowls at our local coffee shop, 420 Cafe which I will review a lot of samples from in the near future.  The buzz was insanely buggin and paranoid which I truly do love.  I will be sure to snag the full gram instead of the half next time.  –Meangreenmartian   

Thank you, Meangreenmartian, for all the great Amsterdam reviews!  –Mrs. Chubbs

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

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.

Looks: Like a small piece of dark chocolate.

Smell: Incense and strong coffee.

Taste: Smooth smoke. Nag Champa/Opium tasting.

Buzz Type: Strong narcotic buzz that leaves the body slightly functional.

Buzz Length: Medium. Appx. 2 hours or so.

Overall: Not the best hash in Amsterdam, but I would kill for a couple grams of this a week in the states. Perfect for rolling up snake joints with excess greenery.  –Meangreenmartian

Super Sour Berry

Name: Twizzla

From: Green Place (Coffee Shop – Amsterdam)

Grade: A-

Type: Polm (Dutch Hash)

Price: N/A (Forgot)

Looks: Like a piece of a ginger snap cookie.

Smell: Very fresh, floral, incense aroma.

Taste: Like fresh flowers at first then it got a little harsh. Luckily the Sweet Tooth I had it mixed with saved the day.

Buzz Type: When mixed with Sweet Tooth the buzz was incredibly uplifting. I was amped all the way through the airport, right onto the plane.

Buzz Length: Not sure, I totally crashed and burned once I sat down on the plane. Was WRECKED after a week of hard partying.

Overall: I think had I spent the time to sit down and smoke Twizzla correctly it would have earned an “A” instead of an “A-” . Maybe someone else who has tried it can comment on their experience.

Buzz Report: It took me about 20 minutes to smoke a joint that was rolled with 1 gram of Twizzla and 1 gram of Sweet Tooth. I was happily baked. Buzz would of lasted all morning had I not been leaving Amsterdam.  –Chubbs

Hawaiian Snow

Name: Grey Crystal

From: Grey Area (Coffee Shop – Amsterdam)

Grade: A

Type: Un-pressed Dutch Hash

Price: Appx. $20/G

Looks: Very unassuming. I think because it is un-pressed you think “oh let me smoke this like it was a pile of kief at home”. Mistake.

Smell: Like flowers. Very floral and sweet.

Taste: Like typical hash. Smooth with a weird incense taste.

Buzz Type: Immediate head rush that is followed up with a nice sativa type high. Very energetic.

Buzz Length: Long. A little bit of Grey Crystal goes a long way.

Overall: One of the best hash entries I smoked in Amsterdam. I am not sure on the reason behind not pressing it but I don’t think it hurt. In fact if anything I like it un-pressed. It made it very easy to mix up in a joint or sprinkle on a bowl.

Buzz Report: I sat down at one of the rarely available tables at the Grey Area and grabbed one of their house bongs. I proceeded to pour out 2 grams of Grey Martian and 2 grams of Grey Crystal and went to town. Each bowl consisted of a layer of Grey Crystal sandwiched in between to layers of Grey Martian.

I’d say after 3 hits I was REALLY high. Since I was in Amsterdam celebrating the Cannabis Cup I just said screw it and smoked everything on the table over the course of about 30 minutes. I stumbled out so high I could barely walk and was loving it!    –Chubbs

Name: Natural Sin

From: Amnesia (Coffee Shop)

Grade: A

Type: Dutch Bubble Hash.

Price: $60/G

Looks: Like some good, rich bubble hash.

Smell: Strong incense. Smelled like fire hash. Can’t really explain it in more depth. Just Great!

Taste: Very nice taste. It was incredible on the exhale.

Buzz Type: Good buzz. More body than heady. Acted as a good muscle relaxer.

Buzz Length: Long.

Overall: This was some fun hash to smoke. Putting a flame to it unleashes a fury of bubbles along with an unreal pure hash smell. We bought 5-6 grams of Natural Sin and smoked it in a variety of ways whether it be bongs, bowls, snakes in joints, and on the second to last day we pounded some of it out and used the hash as the actual wrap which we filled with L.A. Confidential from the Green Place.  –Meangreenmartian

I am most impressed with your creativity when it comes to different ways to get high. Especially using the hash as a wrap. That I have not seen before.  –Chubbs

From: De Dampkring (Coffee Shop)

Grade: A+

Type: Dutch Ice-o-Lator Hash

Price: $70/G

Looks: Lighter brown than most types of hash. So soft and oily on the fingers.

Smell: Very rich spicy incense aroma. (Smells like some SERIOUS hash)

Taste: Amazing, like some Haze mixed with some nag champa incense.

Buzz Type: More on the sativa side. Very, very strong high. One of those high’s that is so good it’s uncomfortable.

Buzz Length: Very long. We were told it was over 60% thc.

Overall: When the effect section of the menu reads “only for experienced smokers”, you know it is going to pack a punch. This was some real trippy stuff folks. A gram of this was purchased on the third day of our trip and it lasted for the next 3 or 4 days. Just a little pinch of this hashish on top of some bud in a bong and Blast Off!  –Meangreenmartian

Had I known about this stuff I would definitely have smoked some while in Amsterdam. I spent a few hours upstairs in De Dampkring but while I was there this dude kept giving out free Volcano bags full of some killer Haze. I barely even made it to the bar.   –Chubbs

From: Greenhouse United "The Greenhouse" (Coffee Shop)

Type: Neder Hash

Price: Appx. $22-23/Gram

Looks: Wicked. Firm little rods of hash. Unlike any hash I have ever seen before.

Smell: Odd, almost no smell. Hint of spice if anything.

Taste: So sweet. You can tell it was made with care.

Buzz Type: Strongest creeper I have ever felt. Starts off slow and before you know it you are toast. But in a good way.

Buzz Length: Very long. I could not believe how long I was high. Then again I smoked about 1.5g’s in one sitting.

Overall: Wow, this stuff is for the serious smoker only. At almost 60% THC, it had me baked for a good long while.

ABOVE – 3 Grams of Greenhouse Ice

ABOVE – A Piece Of Greenhouse Ice Next To My Free Greenhouse Grinder

Buzz Report: I read that to make Greenhouse Ice, Super Lemon Haze trichomes are frozen and the ripe heads are then broke off and are the only part used. None of the stem of the trichomes are used. I am guessing this is how they get close to 60% THC.

I sat down at 9:30am one morning. Of course I was already pretty high but was managing quite well. I had a bunch of Greenhouse Ice on me and decided to smoke it before we walked to the Van Gogh museum which was about 20 minutes away.

I smoked a gram and a half in about 10 minutes along with some Bubba Kush. Got up to leave feeling great. About half way down to the Van Gogh, my wife asks me "are you alright?" "Of course" I replay, "why do you ask?" She says she was a little worried because I had not said one word since we left The Greenhouse.

That was when I realized I was TOTOALLY zoned out and just enjoying the walk. I was SO DAMN BAKED.  –Chubbs

From: Barney’s (Coffee Shop)

Grade: A+

Made From: Utopia Haze

Type: Bubble Hash

Price: Free Sample (I never had to buy it so I forgot to check prices)

Looks: Intimidating. Like tar with a few green flakes here and there.

Smell: Rich hashish aroma. Sweet.

Taste: Thick smoke that tasted like candy and had me coughing like crazy. Loved it.

Buzz Type: Immediate sativa like high. Hits hard and feels good.

Buzz Length: Long. A little bit of this stuff goes a long way.

Overall: As I said, I smoked 4 or 5 grams of Royal Jelly during my week at The Cup and it was easily my favorite hash. Most of the time I would just tear a piece of the main chink, drop it in my pipe, take 3 tokes and I was done. Along with the samples came an official description from Barney’s. Take a look at how they describe the Royal Jelly:

Royal Jelly

First and most important, we carefully select Utopia Haze crystals and small buds, we use an ice-water filtration technique. This method combines the best of the screen and blender methods, using ice-water to make the trichomes brittle and agitation to knock the heads off, the straining the mix through filters for increased purity. Utopia Haze bubble hash, known commercially as Royal Jelly is very potent. A tiny piece will produce enough smoke to get a small crowd high.

I wish I had a few nice chinks of Royal Jelly right now. It was just so damn good. I am already looking forward to next years Neder Hash entry from Barney’s!   –Chubbs
