	Description

The sign outside proudly proclaims:

This lack of subtlety would not be permitted in many places, including Amsterdam. Haarlem seems more liberal. Coffeeshops in Haarlem are also more laid back and less commercialised than those in the centre of Amsterdam.

Frans Hals itself is quite big with comfortable seating and pleasant music. Inside the dealer's booth there is a variety of goodies at reasonable prices. Above the booth is a sign saying Welcome to Hemp City and pointers to the other Willie Wortel shops around town. Elsewhere there are flagpoles with knickers and boxers hanging from them.

Sativa as always a 5 star little shop.

We've visited this shop a few times over the years, it looked great this year. New paint job I guess. Very comfortable. Music at a nice volume. The usual fine wares. A nice place to while away part of a hot afternoon in Haarlem, or a cold one, or a morning. My only gripe would be the rates for internet use. Would have liked to chill on the computer for a while, but when I asked the lady working how much, she said "It depends, but usually about a Euro for 10 minutes".

Located near the train station on Kruisstraat. Remodelled since we were last there in 02. Roomy and very comfy booths (reminded me of train seats). Interesting joint machine, a bit on the loud side. Getting into high volume rap at times. Can get crowded. Internet access at a decent price (for Haarlem).

Closest from the station in Haarlem, less that a block away. There they have a great selection of awesome weed and hash (try the Temple Ball Hash, will get you trashed). Plus the great thing is all their stuff is priced to about 40% less them Amsterdam prices. Well worth the trip.

"Franshal" is one of my most favorite shops in Holland, so good that I would even suggest taking the short train ride (10-15 mins.) from Centraal Station out to Haarlem just for the fun and experience of it. Back in 2000 I stayed in Haarlem for a few days while on tour and "Fransal" became a daily stop. It is located right by the train station so it is easy to get to w/ out a car etc., just go out the station doors and across the street, look for the neon sign, "Willie Wortel's Sativa Cannabis Shop." The shop caters mostly to locals, is medium in size, with a relaxing and fun ambiance, good variety of music, an extensive menu, a very friendly staff, and great patrons. Every day or night I was there I had a great and memorable time. When I was there I tried one of the best strains I have ever tried in all of Holland, they called it, "Grass-Top F-15," and if it is still around I highly suggest you try it. A delicious sativa that was superior in smell, taste and effect, amazing!!! They also have a great hash selection, but I only tried some various types that people there shared w/ me, so I don't remember what kinds, but they were all great!! The excellent menu, friendly staff, great ambiance, amazing patrons, and fun and relaxing vibe, make "Franshal" one of the best, 5 stars.
