About Grey Area
-------------
Grey Area is a tiny place with a huge reputation. It has some of the finest weed anywhere in the known universe and a special vibe. There isn't room for everyone at once though.

It was originally created by two American enthusiasts known as "The Chiefs". Steve is partying out east somewhere now and Jon has a new assistant. It used to close on Mondays but is open all week now.

The shop is a Mecca for American tourists visiting Amsterdam. On the wall is a clock to show that it's always 4:20 and the music is usually old American rock. Glass bongs are available.

Pros:  Some of the Best weed in town, and bottomless cup of coffee
Cons:  little small and crammed

Finally a shop that is enthusiastic about the weed they sell !!!

The Chocolope was simply amazing as well as the OG Bubba Kush.

Amsterdam is just not a complete trip without a stop to the Grey Area.

Pros:  Good Strains of HASHISH and some KIND weed too!!! FRiendly Staff!
Cons:  a lil Conseded for me, a lil seemingly damp-ish n DAMP fel to it!

Friendly Staff, with BOMB HASHISH, and some super strains, that even some, id had'nt even heard of at all, but tried some anyway, and it was very satisfied indeed to say the least about this place's weed n hashish!

Strong stuff ( HASHISH ) weed was also strong, but ONLY a couple strains that i tried , actually were the "doggy's Bollox", (VERY GOOD!!!)lol

Peace and a Visit here, will be "Worth It", not the GREATEST "looking" place, especially from "OUTSIDE", but very nice inside n good Quality when in there refreshing yourself with some "BB CHEESE" or something along the lines of "AFFIx MARROC" hashish!

Peace all
DubSpinna.....

Pros:  Excellent weed, some not found anywhere elese
Cons:  Small place but sweet

Visited the Grey Area just once, and it was a couple hours before we had to leave for the flight back home.
I was deprived of sleep for a couple days and the weed at different places had nice tastes and all, but when I got to the Grey Area I had the most intense high out of the whole 3 days we were in Amsterdam.

I think it was the J1 Haze that did it!

Pros:  Amazingly good weed, friendly service
Cons:  Tiny place - score and run, or skin and go...

Grey Area quite possibly sells the very finest weed in Amsterdam, imho. The selection is always high quality and varied, with choices for the sativa and indica lover alike. It's a tiny place so really a place to score and head out, but it can be quiet and is a nice place to have a smoke before moving on. It's definitely not a hang out place but who cares with their menu.

I just got back from there and the highlights for me:

Apollo 13 (sativa, although DNA do provide an indica seed)
Recon
LA Confidential
Martian Mean Green
Lemon Skunk

MMG and A13 for the day, Recon and/or LA Confidential for late night Oh, and lemon skunk anytime....so tasty....such a nice buzz....an all round winner.

I don't notice any locals in this shop. It seems to cater to the infrequent visitor. I notice a cue out the door most days so they are doing something right. It is near serveral other quality shops too.

Pros:  American Owned, Best Selection, DNA!!
Cons:  Small Space

This is always my first stop when Im in the Dam and for good reason. Always have some of the best fire from the west coast. Martian, Chocolope, And Cannalope haze are in my top ten all time list and at least one of them is always in stock. Cheifs are real chill and always friendly, and playin good tunes. A must visit when overseas!

Pros:  BEST SHOP PERIOD END

The Grey Area, although as small as some peoples bathrooms, is hands down the best place to get your herb. Not necessarily the best place to smoke though, SO CROWDED some days.

The menu selection featured MANY organic soil selections, was cured properly, and was straight up CRON. The prices were also fair.

John (think thats his name) is the F'ing man. Always more than happy to answer Q's and has a really positive vibe about him despite the seeming chaos that can happen with 50 people asking for a menu in that small ass shop.

The other thing is that there mexican bubble hash is fucking ingenious. I have contemplated doing the same thing for years. That is, going to some where like Mexico or Jamaica, buying a bunch of landrace and making bubble hash with it there and shipping back. Gotta love the meat grinder finishing touch too! Because of this they have the best priced bubble hash in the Dam.

Also have to love the glass tube selection they keep there. The European custy's couldn't believe their eyes when I was taking ROOR hit after ROOR hit of Blue Cheese with Mexican bubble on top, guess they are used to their spliffs

The other big thing I noticed was that I saw more Dutch shopping there than anywhere else. They would roll up on their bikes, pop in and leave. They know whats up!

Pros:  The bud man
Cons:  On the small side

This is my favourite place in Dam to buy bud, Always the best selection of strains, tend not to stick around due to the size of the place but always try and stay for one if we can. A+++++++++++

Pros:  The best weed for sale in Amsterdam...Especiall if you are from the States.
Cons:  Small

What can you say about the Grey Area. Pretty much two things come to mind...Best weed in town, man its small.

First thing I do when I get to A-dam is bline straight to the breakfast spot near Grey area and wait for them to open. Far and away the best weed for my money everytime. I usaully have to make 2-3 trips during mmy visits.

They just seem to have the best cured pot in all of the city, plus DNA weed is just superior to 90% of what available elsewhere.

Like I said, I get there early so I lockdown a table for several hours which is not an easy thing to do there. You meet lots of real cool people sharing tables...Grey Area is an Amsterdam staple.
