The weed i got from Greenhouse, Dampkring, Barneys, Grey Area, was not unflushed. I get medicine all the time from my caregiver that is just as good as what i got when i went to the cup in 09, and 01. I just dont see a lot of medicine of that high of quality at dispensaries, and its useally 20 a gram or $60 an eighth. I remember it being like $35 or $45 an eighth when i went to amsterdam, but that was a long time ago in 99. I know there is a lot of coffeshops in amsterdam with crappy bud, but the ones i went to during the cannabis cup had some of the best weed ive ever smoked. Soma cures his buds for 3-6 months, Dampkring dont play. The coffeshops i went to in Amsterdam had way better bud, and it was never $60 an eighth. I find it hard to believe that its $80 for three grams.
