The
Noon is located between the Leidseplein and the Rijksmuseum,
on a very quiet street. The shop is small but well-stocked,
having a good selection of snacks (including American
brownies and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups) and soft drinks.
There is a pinball game, and every month the person
with the highest score that month gets 10 grams of their
choice weed. There is a large supply of good music.
The owner of this shop is an American, and he has a
job many Cup judges would envy. But it's not all fun,
there are lots of ways in which running a coffeeshop
is different from other businesses. Stop in, appreciate
the Western decor, have a drink or a snack and chat
about the state of the world. When it comes to selecting
smoke, the Noon looks for weed that is correctly cured,
meaning that your joints will burn without tobacco.
Lots of bio weed here, including Edelweiss and Dusty
and the yummy Tbizla hashish. There is a good stock
of glass bongs, so you can smoke the way you do at home-
but without the paranoia.
