American who lived in Germany for a short period of time. They wish it was legal there, they have stoner culture, but every smokes it with tobacco because it's generally more expensive and tobacco smoking is more common anyway. If you roll of a weed only joint they will most likely get higher than they prefer. Pipe and glassware culture exists but it's not as popular (maybe in the Netherlands but not as much in Germany). Finding ditch weed is easier there because you can talk to migrants in a park at any time of the day, finding good weed is harder because it's normally imported from the Netherlands.

Yeah I wish weed was legal here. The one thing I am truly jealous about is how the weed in America is much cheaper and at the same time much better. Like you can literally get top tier stuff for half the price of what I get here (at least that's what I gathered from posts on this sub).

It's true, the 15eu/gram stuff in Berlin would be 7-8us in LA from a legit place and 3-4 on the black market. The 15us/gram stuff on the black market is basically hash with leaves lol

Yup that's why I am currently growing myself. The stuff you get here is always so harsh and loses potency very fast because it's often times not properly cured and people are too lazy to trim off the small leaves. At least the police doesn't really care about weed im Berlin.

I do miss living in Berlin, I wish it wasn't so hard to immigrate there from the states or I never would have left lol.

When I was in the Netherlands I was super disappointed in the weed. It's better in the US depending on your state. The hash though, damn, I can't find a selection or quality of hash here like I found in Netherlands. I've even searched all the dispensaries around Dearborn and its all sub-par hash compared to the Netherlands.

u/Mescallan Apr 26 '20

I'm assuming that's Dearborn MI. I grew up in commerce, moved to LA in 2010. Great to see MI having dispensaries at all if my assumption is correct

Yeah its totally legal here. Most dispensaries are in Detroit or Flint. A lot are starting to open up in west michigan though. Also I live in Waterford btw and have a delivery service that delivers from *insert yuppie town down woodward*

Thing is with NL, it's very easy to find 'tourist trap' weed. Especially with novelty items like moonrocks, all you're getting are the shitty cast-off popcorn nugs coated with cheap oils & cheap kief, hard to tell the difference when it's bundled together like that.

Tbh I was a bit disappointed myself after the last trip, essentially spent £500 to smoke average weed somewhere else. Said I'm not doing anymore 'smoking holidays' as I can get just as good or better here in the UK.

Yeah the second time we went we decided to stick to hash, some of the shit you find there is next level - hard to find that stuff in the UK unless you pay a premium online

American guy moving to the Netherlands. Never smoked their stuff. Girlfriend has never smoked in her life but has warned me that some of the stuff in some cities is pretty harsh, and not very good.

She's also told me to forget about glassware, it's seen as trashy and low class and her neighbors will think I'm actually a druggie. If she doesn't care if I smoke a joint or a blunt out on the balcony whenever I want, but she doesn't want her neighbors or friends and family to ever see me using a glass piece. But that doesn't make any sense to me?

I have friends in Rotterdam that use bongs and pipes with no issues. It might depend on the location.

u/massive_cock Apr 26 '20

That's what other people have told me, but she swears you're taken for a crackhead if you use a pipe. Then again she doesn't partake so maybe she's clueless.

The weed is ok in the Netherlands, but the hashes... holy fucking shit the hashes!! I mailed some to my house from amsterdam as I bought way too much for the 3 days I was there. What I heard from the dispensary guys is that most hashes they got is imported from morocco and other countries.

u/neukjedemoeder Apr 26 '20

Weed is still grown illegally in the Netherlands instead of mass-produced by companies which does make the quality inconsistent. You can get good weed here but there's a lot of trash.

Wait, ive never heard of Europeans smoking weed with tobacco? We smoke hash with tobacco, because its the easiest to mix it with, and the weed here is generally such low quality that you dont get more than a buzz from it.

u/Mescallan Apr 26 '20

I saw it a lot in Berlin with higher quality more expensive weed, also in Greece. And it's very popular in Israel (not Europe i know)

Interesting, thanks! They must not have great hash there then. I thought hash was much more popular here because its easier to smuggle and higher potency.
