Da Kine Café

[anewlife]

I've just found this article of 2004 and now I'm wondering how this ended...

http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/natio...afe040901.html

Is this café still alive? Also, why are there no hits in the search?

And if yes, why the heck didn't I go there? Dammit! :(

i cant remember if she got charged or maybe its still in court

[anewlife]

oh, wow...but then i wonder why nu amsterdam is still alive? you guys got more tolerant or what? thought the actual gov. is just the opposite? uhm...

Da Kine was selling pot and pot products Nu amster does not just pipes and rollies, huge diff in the eyes of the law.

There's a Da Kine that opened in Abbotsford a few months ago and the same thing goes on here but I think they require a doctor's note.

that place was nuts. the first and last time i'll ever try 'butter' was there.

*shudders*

[BongMan]

I love butter it rocks

[anewlife]

butter?!

[BongMan]

it is basically reduced liquid THC really good butter almost looks like crack though milkier, melts and smokes like crack aswell yummm

not to be a dink, but it's known as budder. from the budderking in slurrey.

appparently it's alcohol extracted thc.

and at least back then, it was apparently tested to have the highest % of thc. highest recorded was like 99.4%, average was 89%+

take into account that generally bubblehash tops out at 60%, and buds top out around 30%.

believe it or not, but the anecdotal evidence is there. ask anyone who hit that shit.

*re: da kine. last i heard the lady running da kine is working with budbuddy.

i was in the cafe when i got raided. Plain Clothes people with Ski masks and guns kicked down an open door....i sure as hell didn't think it was the cops. I was shitting bricks till i saw someone come in with a full uniform. cops took $90 worth of my weed/hash, thought my frisk mint was some kind of pill, stole my box cutter and laughed at the selection of books i had in my bag.

I wrote an article about the raid and it got published a couple places, but hell if i can find it now.

i went back to the store (which was open) the very next day with a shirt i got made to show my support. Made sure that the cops standing around the joint saw it before i walked in. =P



I miss dakine. I haven't been able to get any true sativas since dakine shut down...(send pms) . I'm not a big fan of heavy indica highs, so i've pretty much stopped smoking weed =(

RIP Da-Kine. I sure hope carrol does get too much time, but i have a feeling she'll be spending a long time in jail. She's received almost no support from the customers she serviced for those 8 months. Without support stores like this will never open up in the way da-kine was operating. You'll only get the ganster ones like we have currently in vancouver.

I was in that pot-cafe on granville sharing this huge cigar blunt with the clients in there...when these three teens came in from washington and declaired "We are here for the budder!"

Everyone kind of looked around at each other and some guy said..."Da-Kine is gone man...you don't want that hippie crack anyways."

They left soo very dissapointed...they came all the way out here for it.

Another fun fact about the raid. That vegan vegitarian restaurant out there was playing "I shot the sheriff" and "Fuck the police" the whole time the raid was going on... it was awesome.

Here are some pictures of what was left of the road blockade after i was released from custody.











With dakine gone, all the crack dealers are back on commercial.
