Flowering time refers to the amount of time it takes for a cannabis plant to fully mature its flowers. This time varies by plant species and growing conditions. Grower’s flowering times vary based on their desired outcome. A longer flowering time will create more amber colored trichomes under a magnification. The darkening of trichomes progresses with time and a large percentage of amber trichomes is believed to produce a strong body high. A smaller percentage of amber colored trichomes is believed to produce a cerebral high.
seeds are seeds that only produce female marijuana plants. But there are some misconceptions about marijuana, feminized marijuana seeds and hermaphrodites (plants that display intersexuality) which should be addressed
Yoghurt with fruits was served in earlier days at the coffeshops as a quick and nice inbetweeny. Those who know about smoking are aware that the bloodglucose level drops rapidly after THC consumption, and this was a refreshing solution to the drowsy feeling.
The filtertip is used when rolling a joint in order to prevent inhalation of pieces of tobacco . It comes in many sizes and materials, mostly carton. Standard issue is 60 by 20 mm, with a thickness of 170gr/m2. Some like to use a thinner variation for easier rolling that comes as 120gr/m2.
A grinder is a contraption of two small cylinders with fixed sharp steel points inside. The grass is put inside one half, the other goes on top of it, and by turning the two halves in opposite directions the grass is grinded down, and ready for smoking.
Hydroponics is the art of growing plants without soil. When most people think of growing marijuana hydroponically, they think of growing their plants with their roots suspended directly into water with absolutely no growing medium. However, this is only one type of hydroponic growing. There are several variations including growing your plant in a soilless medium such as perlite/coco coir and then watering your plants every day, which is not very different from growing in soil.
Hybrid cannabis strains provide the best of both worlds. Expert breeders select the top sativa and indica strains and combine them into super strains that maintain the best aspects from both parents. Hybrids can be sativa or indica dominant and have the effects to match.
Hash (hashish) is the resin collected from the flowers of the cannabis plant. The colour of hash is generally said to be black (Afghanistan), brown or blonde (Morocco); hash from Lebanon is greenish or reddish. A green hue may indicate that the hashish contains a large amount of leaf material.
Hash oil is more or less the same as weed oil, but is made from the resin of the plant. Whereas weed oil has a tendency to be greenish (unless filtered properly) hash oil tends to be gold or honey colored. For all products (dab) certain solutions are used for processing, generally butane, propane or carbon dioxide. By creating high pressure on the grass buds one evaporates most of the compounds but preserves the CBD.
the Bankrupcy concerns the failure of the Weed-pass policy at Haarlem. Due to this regulation a lot of shops there had to close their doors, as more than half of the cannabis users refused to be registered, and started looking for other sources on the streets again.

Shatter and Crystaline are cannabis concentrate wich are higher in THC percentage, but are still not legal in every state or country
The Indica variation is known for its compact buds, strong smell and high THC contents. Once planted it grows rapid, to harvest time varying from 6 to 9 weeks. It is often grown in locations with a low ceiling as it does not grow that high. The effects of this particular brand are a more bodily stoned than high, as well as enhancement of perception of the senses. Indica is reputed to cause a strong mental and physical relaxation, keep in mind that with higher doses drowsiness can occur.
Jack Herrer is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that has gained as much renown as its namesake, the marijuana activist and author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes. Combining a Haze hybrid with a Northern Lights #5 and Shiva Skunk cross, Sensi Seeds created Jack Herrer hoping to capture both the cerebral elevation associated with sativas and the heavy resin production of indicas. Its rich genetic background gives rise to several different variations of Jack Herrer, each phenotype bearing its own unique features and effects. However, consumers typically describe this 55% sativa hybrid as blissful, clear-headed, and creative.
A joint is a composition of tobacco and hash and/or grass rolled in a cigarette paper with a filter tip. It is largely popular in the Netherlands and particularly in Amsterdam. To roll a joint one needs gear, papers, a filter tip and tobacco.

Some forms of Kush are actually hybrid crossovers between the Indica and Sativa strains, which yield a larger crop. There are many different sorts of Kush, like Indu Kush, OG Kush, Purple Kush and Master Kush
Is the drug made from the buttons of the roots of the Cactii Williamsonii that grows in Mexico. As these buttons contain strychnine, they first have to be boiled before consumption. As with psylocibin the major colors experienced are red and yellow, this in contradiction with the blue and green perceived when using chemical hallucinogens like LSD (acid). Furthermore it is advised not to eat to many fatty things, but rather stick to fruits and nuts.
There are a lot of different ways to use hash or grass. It can be smoked, eaten or drunk. Most common used is the joint, rolled with cigarette paper and a filter tip, that can be smoked like a cigarette. Also frequently used is the bong, which provides a large quantity of water cooled hash or grass smoke to be inhaled, or the regular hash pipe. These are often used by those who desire a quick and pure hit, and who would like to avoid the use of tobacco. Latest invention is the vaporiser. This contraption works by heating the gear to the exact required temperature by means of a couple of volt cells (or gas). This way the gear does not really burn, but is vaporized instead, hence the name.
Is an all compassing name for various strains cultivated in the Netherlands, generally cannabis sativa. It goes by a lot of different brand names , Whitewidowwh, K2. In earlier days its THC content was below that of grass from hotter regions, but has been boosted by new techniques since the 90ies, and now outshines its competition.
PROJECT 1012. Named after the postal code covering Amsterdam's city centre (including the Red Light District), Project 1012 is an effort to tidy up the downtown area. The strategy will drastically reduce the number of red lighted windows and coffeeshops in the heart of the city.
As part of the project, the owners of 26 coffeeshops have already heard in 2009 that they will have to close their businesses no later than June, 2015. Some of the coffeeshops have already closed down or transformed into lunchrooms, restaurants and cafes (read in our section closed coffee shops).
Also known as the magic (psychedelic) mushroom is famous for its hallucinogenic and psychedelic properties, appreciated throughout the ages not only as a recreational drug but also to gain spiritual and philosophic insights. The mushroom grows uncultivated in nature, specificly in Mexico and Hawai, but can also be found in the Netherlands, mostly in pastures, meadows and woods. The more fertile the soil, the better the mushroom grows.
