On an early visit at Casa in Tilburg, the Netherlands
April 2014
11:00 a.m. Because of my move from Zaandam I get to know every shop in Tilburg . We visit " Casa " A moroccan shop, which has been there for 23 years. The interior did give that away. Everything is 'not finished', a bit old and dirty. Our table was tacky, as the floor. Toilet is reasonably clean. The '80''s design is old but wide and open, and that made it a comfortable sit. Our first cup of coffee was a little too strong. My 2nd, a latte, is weak. Temperature of both coffee seems a bit low. Table football, pool billiard and sitting couch area are present. Together we ordered 6 species. My companion, a critical and skeptical chronic patient, gets a " patients discount " and made some photos of the interior. When weighing the cannabis, with old dirty cardboard (?) as shovel, and very dirty touch screen of the scale, the manager coughed over the cannabis stock. Standard I buy some cheaper types of hash, around 5 euro ( 7 usd ) p/gram and some weed.
' Moonflower ' cannabis, afghan hash and maroc hash
Today ; Moonflower; 10 euros ( 14 usd ) per gram. Strange name, because on the moon nothing will grow. And so for this weed, it is indeed the best description. It doesn't smell, not even when i crumble it. Effect is, in addition to the flavor of burnt paper, minimal. The dark afghan hasj is reasonable, bit old and 'dried up', not too heavy, sofdt smoking, smells good, and certainly not polluted. This last goes as well for the fine, ' allmost green ' - young and soft smoking maroc, probably from the north west. Nice hasj, soft effect but firm.
In the old day's we liked visiting all shops in a city to compare hasj and weed. Now, some of you think I " have a nice job ". To buy a little weed and hash
as ' i wish ', to test a coffee shop with a Cup of coffee, here and there, to stare a bit out the window, on a philosophical idea. However, it is a necessity.
For when i have a ' bad back ' period, or have to lay down for weeks or months. I need to know which shop in town sells 'what kind of quality'. Self- cultivation of a few needed strains is not allowed. And the available ' governmental approved ' medicinal therapeutically supportive tools ( the four types Bedrocan ) are not sufficient to overcome the whole range of my pain and sleep - complaints. And besides my anecdotical and subjective opinion, the Bediol , Bedrobinol , Bedica and Bedrocan can not make it, compared to the dozens of choices of all 11 coffeeshops in Tilburg, where I can buy cannabis. I say " can ". Because in recent months I have bought expensive cannabis ( from 9 euro / 12 usd per gram or more ) several times, while the quality somewhat was disappointing. Or even very poor a couple of times. As the Northen Light of the Level , or the Indica of the Max were. And finding a good maroc, for my pain relief and sleep, is not easy, but its worth it eventually. Some shops in Tilburg are run by dutchmen with foreign origin and those sell to various foreign nationalities living here. And at those shops you should look, what they smoke them self.
That hasj, that you should have. As example, as the super polm from the Pasa. 5 gram for 20 euro / 28 usd.
