[dra999]

@MasterLeeMochow Thank you for your kind words. I hope you'll enjoy some of my other videos from Amsterdam.

[richardthek]

when im in amsterdam i cant help but roll my joints differently, i make them as fat as the paper allows, dont even notice im doing it ha

[dra999]

@richardthek It seems like a natural thing to do. The more the merrier and a good time was had by all. Thanks for viewing and for your comment.

[richardthek]

@richardthek

thanks for the upload. glad you had a 'highly' enjoyable time

[MrJeffsVideos]

Smoking a blunt would be the same as mixing tobacco in a joint & lord knows we Americans smoke alot of those, I myself perfer kind bud joints, but have to resort to making hash from bricked mexican weed for quality because of the price & consequences of buying & growing good bud. FYI : Smoking tobacco after smoking hash, taste really good. Thank-you for sharing this very cultural experience with the world & cannabis community. Plant the seed ! Free the weed !

[dra999]

@MrJeffsVideos I don't like tobacco at all. I'm glad you like this video and I appreciate your comments.

[MrJeffsVideos]

Lay down your differences, embrace your likes, smoke a joint & get your head right. Plant the seed ! Smoke some weed !

[dra999]

@MrJeffsVideos Thanks for viewing and for leaving your comment. I like the cool rhyme. Check out my other videos from Amsterdam coffeeshops.

[BrianPattee]

tobacco in weed to me is like hey i going to put piss in your beer . tobacco is an evil plant. and weed is a gift from God.

[dra999]

@BrianPattee I agree with you. I don't use tobacco at all and I prefer the taste of good pure weed over tobacco any day. Thanks for viewing.

[eliato]

Thats a lot of mystery to roll a small joint! Pure weed from colombian mountais (without tabaco), No9 Rolling Paper, I allready roll and smoke a good one watching this!

[dra999]

@eliato Yeah, SoulRider was taking his time, engaging in conversation ans doing meticulous work. Thanks for viewing and for your comment.

[strongarmeric]

smoking it with tabacco gives a more alert high i used to smoke mine like that before going to collage really helped thru some of those never ending days XD

[dra999]

@strongarmeric Perhaps, but I prefer the taste and flavor of pure. I don't smoke tobacco at all.

[strongarmeric]

@dra999 yeah im not in school any more and have money now, so i smoke mine straight now, my kush diesel is about ready to harvest and cure, think ill try the soldering iron to smoke with!!

[dra999]

@strongarmeric Congratulations and happy travels! I would enjoy a sample of that, I'm sure!

[strongarmeric]

@dra999 thanks its my first grow and have no idea what i am doing, one day i need to go to Amsterdam, and remember "D.A.R.E. to think for yourself" and 1 love!!

[dra999]

@strongarmeric Amen bro! Check out my other videos from Amsterdam and other places in Europe.

[andy6002001]

welcome to gradeschool ! novice weed smokers....so sad. no tobbacco - straight spliff FTW !

[dra999]

@andy6002001 Some people are set in their ways due to traditional smoking procedures. I prefer staright weed no tobacco myself, but I don't smoke or use tobacco in anyway at all.

[andy6002001]

@dra999 i did the same thing some time ago...i also don't smoke tobacco...but if you go in Amsterdam my advice is to smoke it straight my friend :) peace and love. sry for the aggressive post. :)

[dra999]

@andy6002001 Oh yeah! I always smoke it straight. I like the nice aroma and tatse of the different varieties available at the different shops I like to visit. I appreciate your input, this is an open forum for all to discuss their views and opinions. I hope you;ll watch my other videos from Amsterdam.

[kamikazerick]

5 minutes of rolling....lol 

[dra999]

@kamikazerick Such is the time spent in a coffeeshop with friends. Especially when you have a crazy bastard pointing a camera at you while you're trying to work. Thanks for viewing.

[TheHashCompany]

Great video ,enjoy your time in amsterdam!

Thanks for viewing. I hope you'll enjoy my other videos from Amsterdam as well.

[kindweed]

i don't like tabacco in my weed. is that an aluminum grinder, or a steel one?

[dra999]

I don't use tobacco either. It's an aluminum grinder. Really nice, eh?

[kindweed]

yeah! hash oil! god i haven't had that in a million years :(

[apezwijn]

Also, tourists are ripped off obviously.

[dra999]

Thanks for your input. This should serve as a warning to anyone who travels abroad.

[apezwijn]

I lolled at reactions and responses, XD it isn't something special for us. (You know what i mean)

[dra999]

I made this video to share the experience with people who have never been to Netherlands. I hope this helps other people understand the way life is other parts of the world where people are more tolerant.

[schusonofmog]

Half year it´s passed now, tomorrow I´m starting again for a nice weekend in A`dam!!!! Katsu I´m comming!!

[dra999]

Enjoy some Diesel while you're there! Thanks for viewing.

[turdsmashkilface]

Been to A-dam several times and never got into the whole using tobacco in the spliff. Leave that shit for the Europeans....I like the taste of straight bud!!!

[dra999]

I agree. I prefer to smoke pure. The Europeans, hoever, have a long tradition of mixing their weed with tobacco. I don't use tobacco at all, I don't smoke cigarettes. Thanks for viewing.

[pince420]

dude u gotta work on ur rolling and try blunts instead of sick as tabacco being mixed in with ur weed

[dra999]

SoulRider is preparing a traditional Euro-style spliff. Thanks for your comment.

[mudhogbiker]

ahh soulriders signature tobacco tub....hahahaha.

[dra999]

Aha! You see something familiar! Thanks for viewing and for your comment. I appreciate your support.

[jamesdrew1337]

wtf is up with the size of that guys roach it ginourmous he can fit the end of a clipper in the lol, a joint should be coned man you cant roll

[dra999]

I think SoulRider does a fine job rolling that into something he would enjoy smoking. I personally don't smoke tobacco. Thank you for your feedback. Please... post a video that demonstrates your rolling technique. I'd love to see you creat a cone as you have described. I think it would make for excellent YouTube viewing material. Thanks again, mate.

[schusonofmog]

I did the same thing at the same place 3 months later, 11th july... with a nice Crystal Clear from Katsu... loved it!!! best place in this part of dam, a little visit @ the cuyp markt and then a stop @ Katsu! great afternoon!

[dra999]

Awesome! Yes, this is a great shop with a fantastic menu. Thanks for viewing and for your comment.

[slaie1]

[dra999]

Thanks for viewing and for leaving a comment. I enjoyed visiting the Katsu after a walk through the Albert Cuypmarkt. When were you there?

[lawlroy]

cool vid man

[dra999]

Thank you for viewing. I'm glad you enjoyed this presentation. Check out my other videos from Amsterdam. Thanks again!

[richy202202]

[dra999]

Thanks for viewing and for your comment. Will you be posting any videos or picture slide shows from your visit? I hope you'll check out my other videos from Amsterdam as well.

[W3B5TA]

[dra999]

I'll pass your suggestion on to SoulRider. Thanks for viewing and for leaving a comment.

[FIVELUNGBILL]

basjoes terminator baby!!!!!!!!!

wa wa wee wah very nice!!!!!

[dra999]

Thank you for viewing. I appreciate your support.

[PaPaTenshi]

i thought smoking tobacco with you cannabis was illegal in smoke shop in Amsterdam now?

[retardedeskimo]

Yea it is but most places there don't really care. Just be discrete when mixing tobacco.

Some coffee shops offer a herbal substitute to tobacco. I tried the one in greenhouse coffee shop and hands down burnt and tasted better than tobacco.

[dra999]

I only smoke pure so the restrictions on mixing with tobacco had no impact on me. Thank you for viewing and thank you both for your comments.

[PaPaTenshi]

i thank you both very much for the response i notice a lot of the smokers on youtube check there vids rarely and it nice to have a good feed back info it will be quite a while before i can go visit the dam but you can bet ill be posting in that forum when i go always nice to have a good guide. and i use the site the same way to Dra999 but sadly it dose not get alot of hits other than the forums

[dra999]

ACD is a great resource and anyone who's planning a trip to Amsterdam would be well advised to spend some time reading the articles and reviews as well as the forums. Thank you for your support.

[NLstb]

no it isn't

[dra999]

Can you make a better recommendation? Please do!

[hieroglypkic1]

nice but aint it a little too small? even for 1 person id have to smoke another st8 after

[dra999]

You may be right.

[KarMaThr]

i dnt get the point of this

[dra999]

That's OK. You may not be enlightened.

[retardedeskimo]

what date was this video taken?? Just curious about how strict they are with putting tobacco in your joints

[dra999]

This was taken in April. There seems to be a lot of tobacco mixing going on.

[Bghezzi]

i got 2 arjans ultra haze plants growing right now!!!!!! smooooke weeed errr dayyy

[dra999]

Good luck with your plants, may you have a bountiful harvest. I agree with your sentiments on smoking weed. Thanks for viewing, I hope you'll check out some of my other vids as well.

[tarokirl]

Nice vid. I cant wait to go to Amsterdam next year. What is there to do in Amsterdam? So far I have on my list Heineken tour, Canal cruise, and smoke marijuana and ummm smore more marijuana. LOL Should I add any more?

[dra999]

Thank you for your comments. I am glad you enjoyed thiis video and I hope you'll check out my other videos from Amsterdam. One thing you should add to your list is the Van Gogh Museum. Get good and baked and check out some art. Thanks again, I appreciate your support.

[mrdj2307]

combien sa coute se voyage (how much money go to amsterdam

[dra999]

It depends on where your travel originates, but staying in or near Amsterdam can be quite affordable. Thank you for viewing.

[BigVOLdaddy]

i see now why my brother loved amsterdam so much and lived there 6 months out of the year. may he rest in peace now........as i watched dude roll that thing up i was like ...damn dude, hurry up and lets smoke that fuckin thing...then i realized i quit smokin weed 12 years ago, and how much i miss it.

[dra999]

Amsterdam is a great city and has a lot more to offer than great weed and great shops that sell it. If I could, I would live there 6 months out of the year too. "Little lottery ticket, it's all up to you!" Thank you for viewing and for your comment.

[hallsking01]

bomb metal grinder wish i have one and its clammy as hell in there and your smoking silver haze lucky fucks lol...

[dra999]

Yeah, that grinder is a popular item, I get a lot of questions about it. Thanks for viewing and for leaving a comment. Be sure to check out my other videos from Amsterdam coffeeshops.

[Bghezzi]

smoke weed er day

[dra999]

Will do!

[seussie]

thank the GODS you didn't put me in that! lol.. but we had fun! great vid!

[dra999]

Hahah! You were a real conversation driver. Thanks for viewing and for your comments. Thanks for meeting us in Amsterdam. It was a blast!

[mrpaulcook]

great video, a blast.

[dra999]

Thanks for viewing. I appreciate your kind words. I hope you'll check out my other videos as well. Thank you for your support.

[mrsmannering]

I was in Amsterdam A couple of weeks ago and you have to go to The Grey Area Coffe Shop hope you enjoy yourself x

[dra999]

I've been to the Grey Area several times. They do have good weed but the place just isn't very comfortable and customer service is lacking. If you decide to visit the Grey Area, I recommend making your purchase and leaving with it. Take it over to the Greenhouse Effect Bar and smoke it there.

[chrissmokin]

im form scotland and i put tobacco in mine here, but thats only because most of the stuff you get here is shit. When your in amsterdam your just ruining the taste and the high when you use alot of tobacco and its not like you have to ration it out or anything.

[dra999]

You don't have to tell me. I smoke only pure and I never use tobacco at all. As for rationing out the weed, it's not free, so maybe it's being rationed out due to the cost.

[chrissmokin]

your in amsterdam, you have as much weed as you can physically smoke so you put a little sprinkle in your joint, poor effort.

[dra999]

Yes, SoulRider lives in Amsterdam and he is smoking weed in the traditional way that many Europeans smoke. Believe me, the amount of weed he put in his joint is more than enough to get him stoned. Thanks for viewing.

[joppe1981]

Thats alot of tobacco

[dra999]

Any amount of tobacco is a lot for me. I don't use tobacco at all and I have always smoked pure. Thank you for viewing and for leaving a comment.

[Y4HTO]

thnx for the vid dude....this vid is from April 2009, I thought tobacco was banned in coffee shops, only pure spliffs allowed!

So can people still smoke mixed tobacco and skunk spliffs? What is actually allowed?

Thnx

[dra999]

It's true, the law banning rhe smoking of tobacco has been in effect for almost a full year. However, many shops are allowing patrons to mix with tobacco even though they have a non-tobacco herbal mixer available. Some shops have a special Smoker's Room available for people who want to smoke with tobacco. Thank you for viewing and for your comment.

[chadsenters00]

dood stop talking smoke it already lol j/k alsome vid man! :]

[dra999]

Thank you for viewing, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Check out my other videos from Amsterdam as well. Thanks again.

[willyham72]

how much does the weed cost in amsterdam ? is it 5 euros a grame ? please tell me

[dra999]

It will depend on where you buy your weed, what strain of weed you get and the quantity. Generally, you can expect to pay on average 10 euro per gram, however, if you go to the Picasso coffeeshop, their house brand is only 5 euro per gram but some of the newer designer buds and Cannabis Cup winners might cost you 12 to 15 euro per gram, again depending on where you make your purchase. Thanks for viewing.

[PavlovSladjan]

man stop judging other people...nice to everyone...we are people not demon...we smoke no mather what other do.Rastafarian,Diler,Criminal,­Profesor,Agency,Cartel,Necroma­ncy,Voodoo,Blind and Sick People...:))))

[dra999]

Only euros. You can exchange dollars for euros at the airport before you leave the USA or at the airport after you arrive in Amsterdam, at Centraal Station or any number of places around town. Thanks for viewing.

[MidnightRayn]

why the fuck do you people ruin your dope with tabacco?! seriously wtf!!!

[dra999]

In this video SoulRider constructs a joint in the traditional European style, blended with tobacco and with a "roach" filter tip. This is the way the Europeans have been enjoying cannabis for decades. Personally, I never use tobacco as a mixer, I don't use tobacco at all since I don't smoke cigarettes. Like the old song says, different strokes for different folks. Thanks for viewing and for your comment.

[XxAndreWasherexX]

sorry man but your a retard

[dra999]

I would like to view and comment on some of your original work but I see you have not posted any videos. Please let me know when you have posted some of your own original work so I can return the favor and comment on them for you. I am sure you will not post any videos which are embarassing or less than professional. I am looking forward to it. Thanks again!

[sueishere25]

That would be awesome if we could do that here. Sigh...

[dra999]

The times they are a-changing! Maybe soon, we can do that. Until then, start making your plans to take a trip to Amsterdam and meet me there! Thanks for viewing and for your comment.

[dra999]

There are a lot of good coffeeshops, it's hard ti name just one, but I will recommend that you visit The Greenhouse Effect on Warmoesstraat. Thanks for viewing and for leaving a comment.

[cannabisconnoisseurs]

i also love how in amsterdam you can just chill out with a nice coffee and take your time to roll up as theres no worries. have to go there this year!

[dra999]

Yes, Amsterdam can be a mellow place at the right time of the year. There are several shops I enjoy lingering in as I toke and enjoy the atmosphere. This was my 1st visit to Katsu, but it will not be my last.

[jyatha07]

nice vid of rolling a joint ,but how about showing the coffeeshop itself -have you got any footage?

[dra999]

I'm sorry I don't have any other footage of this shop. I had not planned to video tape here at all but after meeting SoulRider and having him agree to perform his rolling for the camera, that is what I got. Many of the people sitting with us asked that I not show their faces and I had to respect that.

[TigerRAWK]

good quality, good convo

[dra999]

Thank you for viewing. It's good to be back into editing mode. I appreciate your comments.

[evilneedscandys]

looks like alot of work

[dra999]

I agree, a lot of effort to go up in smoke, but different strokes for different folks, right? Thanks for viewing and for leaving a comment. I appreciate your support.

[Wellman214]

Neat grinder... Toke it up!

[dra999]

Yeah, that grinder is a star piece of equipment. I'm not sure how much they cost but they are for sale at several different shops around the city.

[traceycollier]

Loverly ... me want.. smoky BIG HUGE jointy..

[dra999]

Thanks for viewing, I'm glad you enjoyed this one. I wish you could have met us there.

[Jaideabel]

Very interesting...I want one of those grinders, I've never seen them like that. Finally someone else who uses a filer! :)

[dra999]

Those cool grinders are on sale at most head shops around Amsterdam as well as at some coffeeshops.

[cannabisconnoisseurs]

yeh im not a big fan but sometimes in amsterdam i gotta mix some tobacco with hash cause then it helps it burn easier and it goes realy well

[dra999]

Yes, it does help hash to burn if you are smoking it as a joint. I like to do hash under glass or mixed with weed in a pipe or joint.

[wwwaptunecom]

cool and incredible

SoulRider rolls a good one i must say

never saw the filter trick before

[dra999]

I never really liked the idea of mixing my weed with tobacco. Those types of filter tips are typical through out Europe among folks who enjoy cannabis. It is called the roach.

[wwwaptunecom]

yes i remember now way back in 76 in dublin

they did mix it with tobacco and the main reason if i

remember was to make sure all was smoked with no waste,

basically because of how expensive it was.

[dra999]

That's why the roach filter tip is used, to be able to smoke it all without a clip, which is a common item used in the USA among tokers. They tell me that mixing the cannabis with tobacco makes it burn easier, which might be true but I don't like tobacco.

[internationalRLfan]

i've always wanted to go to amsterdam

[dra999]

You should. It's a great city with a lot of art and history. It's actually much more affordable than a lot ofpeople might think. I know you'd have a good time. Thanks for viewing and for leaving a comment.

[internationalRLfan]

it seems like its a great city

[dra999]

If you plan ahead, you can make really inexpensive travel arrangements, especially if your travel dates are flexible.

[cannabisconnoisseurs]

cool vid man, nice buds looks fun, was this recent because i thought u wernt allowed to smoke tobacco indoors now in holland. or mabey they just dont mind anyway

[dra999]

This was recorded in April. Officially tobacco is banned, however, some shops have set up special smoking rooms where people can mix with tobacco or smoke cigarettes. Some shops just don't care. Either way it doesn't matter to me because I don't use tobacco at all.

[nevermindthehunt]

Nice grinder. Even better filling. Not the tobacco, tho...

[dra999]

Wow! Nice to get a comment from you when you're not at work! Thanks for viewing.

[nevermindthehunt]

SoulRider seems like an interesting character. Did you guys hang out much other than this?

[dra999]

No, unfortunately this was so near to the end of my trip, our paths did not cross again, however, since I have returned we have have been in communication via the Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory, find the link in the sidebar.

[TudoBem99]

Ummm... the organ-playing cat should have made an appearance in this video

[dra999]

Are you stoned?
