Nimbin, Australia, Travel Video Guide

[DoctorDeeDoak]

What a sick cunt!

[youletmecrazy]

what is that? is it a turkey or just a chicken



[greenplanet2400]

Nimbin looks like a wonderful place! I can't wait to visit! I am a young hippie from San Francisco, and I am planning on visiting Nimbin next year...looking forward to hanging out.

[mo0nbuggy]

Bout time someone dropped a fucking Nuke of that shit hole of a town.

[newerawearer]

@mo0nbuggy hahah

[perf5paul]

@mo0nbuggy TYPICAL. I live in perth so nowhere near nimbin , Just because someone wants to live an alternative lifestyle that you dont like , whats the skin off your nose? You must be a cathlic or christian are you? they like telling people how to live their lives aswell.

[mo0nbuggy]

@perf5paul The skin off my nose? Hmmm, how about the Millions of tax dollers spent on healthcare for these bong smoking cunts, not to mention the welfare. I'm not just talking about Nimbin, I'm talking about every lazy cunt pot head who sits around and plays cod all day waiting for centrelink to kick them their next doll payment.

I'm not Christian, I hate them too. I don't tell anyone how to live, but I expect them to at least hold some moral values and contribute to this country. Fuck them.

[perf5paul]

@mo0nbuggy How about the billion $ cost of society from alcohol every year. National health and medical research council stats . Out of the 48 pot heads i know, all of them are professionals, earn great money here in perth , probably pay alot more tax than you. Stereotypes mate they'll just prove you wrong! I dont drink , I hate it, but love pot. Different strokes for different folks. And if you smoke through a vaporizor you dont get nasty carcinogens. legalize it and we'll pay billions in tax

[mo0nbuggy]

@perf5paul Oh but you see, Alcohol is socially acceptable......Out of all the drugs I know, booze is the worse, more people are in hospital because of it than any other drugs, only because it is widely used though.

Legalize pot and you'll have the same problem, it's not the answer.

I don't know what drugs your mates smoke but EVERY one of my mates who smoke weed regularly are fucking useless bastards, still my mates though hahaha.

And stereotypes are there for a reason. Smoke on lefty, cunt.

[perf5paul]

@mo0nbuggy So u dont smoke cause its illegal? and if its legal u would? REALLY! funny how thats not the case in holland spain portugal canada and the US where its legal or psuedo legal. People either like it and smoke it (illegally) or dont like it and wouldnt smoke it if it was legal. The US is now legalizing it and the evidence has shown its made billions in tax $'s, drug dealers have gone broke, crime and violence has dropped and kids now cant get hold of it as easily. Proof vs Dogma. I win!

[mo0nbuggy]

@perf5paul I don't smoke it because I like my lungs and mental fitness. If it was legal I still wouldn't smoke it.

I'm sure the nasty drug dealers are broke now, even though weed is cheap as shit and I'm sure the government has found another way to rip money of the people but that's not really my issue.

Whether is legal or not people will smoke it, so legalizing it for the sole purpose of money is just fucked, but that's exactly something the government would do. And it's a gateway drug. Ewwww

[perf5paul]

@mo0nbuggy exactly my point tho. you said legalizing it we'd have the same problems as alcohol. But you even admitted you wouldnt smoke it if it became legal. Thats the point ! , there wont be anymore problems than we already have. And as for the sole purpose of money, WHO DO YOU WANT TO GET RICH - the drug dealers (who deal to children) or the government (who regulates it R18+) and uses those billions to invest in health, education etc. Pot smoking will happen legal or not, so use it.

[mo0nbuggy]

@perf5paul I see your logic, but I just can't agree. If we legalize pot, why not do the same to Heroin or Meth?

I mean, the price for a gram of weed compared to either of those is minute, so why not use it?

If your right then the same people will still be doing the same drugs, nothing will change except the amount of income the government will get out of it and the way to see it the drug cartels will be shut down.

[perf5paul]

@mo0nbuggy The answer to why not meth or heroin is very very simple. The more heroin you take you die of an overdose, if u take loads of meth you'll be awake for weeks develop physcosis and then die of an overdose, drink enough alcohol and you'll die of an overdose. Nobodys ever overdosed and died from cannabis EVER! cannabis is a benign substance which does not wreek havock with the bodys physiology like heroin or meth. Physical addiction in other words. mental addiction is different

[mo0nbuggy]

@perf5paul Ok peoples health is a concern of course, more so than money? Who knows.

It's well known Cannabis has some pretty severe long term effects, no where near as bad as the hard shit, and I would even argue that it's not much worse than alcohol. But, it is also well known it's a gateway drug, not for everyone though. Every person I know who smokes hard stuff started on weed, I've visited jails and talked to inmates, everyone of them started on weed and ended up on hard stuff. Bad move.

[perf5paul]

@mo0nbuggy Long term side affects, everything has long term side effects? but tell me what they are. Still nothing compared to the long term effects of fast food or alcohol? Ive been following 45 years of research. And yes people who do heroin meth speed and coke do use cannabis AND ALCOHOL. But its proven addictive personalities will determine if u become an substance abuser. The first drug I ever took (and everyone i know) WAS ALCOHOL! Isnt that the greatest gateway drug. FACTS NOT DOGMA.

[mo0nbuggy]

@perf5paul The difference being, Alcohol is regulated, pot isn't. Drinking once had it's own dogma, still does to some degree, lets not forget it was once illegal as well, look what happened there. Once pot is legalized and becomes socially acceptable (Not over night) more problems will be caused than it solves. Ignore the overnight statistics of other countries and look at the facts you try to ignore. Consult any medical practitioner that's not from Nimbin, it's a bad nasty little plant.

[perf5paul]

@mo0nbuggy Yeah alcohol was illegal, and YEAH LOOK WHAT HAPPENED THERE! bootleggers, gangsters, the mafia got its foothold in the US and ever heard of al capone? yeah prohibition was a real success. More problems if its legalized? What problems do pot heads cause? tell me? and tell me what DR's say its a "nasty little plant" name 1 . Considering I personally DR's who smoke pot. And DR's (worldwide) who prescribe marijuana to patients. You cant think for yourself . NO FACTS NO ARGUEMENT .

[mo0nbuggy]

@perf5paul Dude, we could sit here for like a week talking shit, in-fact I can't believe how much we've already written, and I'm sure we're both over trying to explain our points to one another. I'm not going to change my mind and I'll stick to my word, so will you. You can have the last word, I'm out. Peace.

[foreskinfighter]

IM GOING!

[Nebelwerfer89]

@foreskinfighter cya

[mattlaureys]

lol a hippy with a laptop haha lol

[TravelAdviceTV]

WOW those views look amazing. Can’t wait to get there. Only 3 weeks now

[nickrod32]

Why cant they tolerate Weed in australiaa?

[moshugari]

@nickrod32 because people some people become psychologically dependant, which entails bein really anxious angry/mean without it,

[rawfflecakes]

we should rally up and help legalize marijuana in australia

[moshugari]

@rawfflecakes the war on drugs has been well and truly lost, there are hrmful psychological effects.

in the 70's it would have been a good idea to dicriminalize not legalise but yeh i get where your coming from

[nimbimmate88]

i love nimbin. !!! even now there are still people who make up stupid rumers about it. its a nice loving place. and i know, i live there

[Jimb001]

awesome place. love australia

[wieselboy]

overlander i need that song from the intro it sounds so great!

[wieselboy]

[wieselboy]

[rawrrashalicious]

fuckin scrub turkeys

[HelmetBlissta]

I went to mardi grass last few years with my family and small children , we had a lovely day out . See you there this year beginning of May.

[6023Nath]

Nothing wrong with H, just shooting it. Nearly all drugs but speed ice etc arn't bad for you. It's just the fact that non-legal drugs are not pure, thus leading to problems. Using all drugs too much is not worth it, once you get tolerence it's just a waste, so i say legalise it all and get some bloody control. Junkies arn't bad only bad junkies are bad. Same with people. Argue with me if you please, just use facts. Peace.

[trddbby]

I grew up in Nimbin. I went to school at Tuntable. It was like a fairytale. Moved away just as hard drugs took over. Miss it alot

[jsckillab4lkilla]

bong on australia

[AaGriffi]

been many times but the days before hard drugs took over were the best....beautiful place, love the locals but yer, certianly a lot more needle pushin junkies than there were when i was going there 20 years ago...sad really

[BEATNIKCASS]

anyone know my old pals from the royal george in '62---------john sande, dutch andy , 3 fingered rick ,(was he called rick schubert?) little dick (he spoke real softly) big malto , mainline michele, irish john, eddie the hypnotist, grey-haired jeff ????? they'd be aged about 63 by now

[killashine1]

i have nonthing against the weed and hippy scene at all and what nimbin WAS, but i passed through there on sunday and saw nothing but junkies young and old, the real nimbin must be in the hills lol. fucken nice place though.

[psysprouts]

u obviously dont know what junkies look like

[killashine1]

sorry your royal needle head but i think some feral sitting there almost dribbling on himself with tracks in his arms and neck is a pretty good indication dont you? even the people of nimbin will tell you the place is fucked from heroin. have another shot and crawl back under your rock.

[psysprouts]

I have never used the needle. The cops even help to keep the powders out of town. Sniffer dogs regularly come thru town but are after powders, not pot. Ice is the problem here. It causes violence, particularly when combined with alchohol. That is why we now have cameras in the street. I have smoked pot in front of cameras and nothing has happened.

I have been here long enough (since 94) to see that the cops target dealers that become too big for there boots.

[saintfletcher]

I want to see you smoke one and draw back. That would be worth seeing. Haha. Blessings FLETCHER

[kensington25]

Lol that would be a sight :)

[Tschano]

The story I told it's true so I don't care if you believe me smoothcoops ! There is no need to be abusive ! That speaks of a poor culture ! Peace

[shikira]

I found nimbin to be a sad place. I thought it would be a very artisitic community but its not. Also if you want to see what an old druggie looks like .. go to Nimbin. Very sad.

[smoothcoops]

You cocksucking hippy wannaby,I live here and have property,where do you find a 300 percent return you peice of swine crap,we are nice people here,unlike a wannaby 1day wonder!!

[shikira]

Your there for the investment? 300% in how long? per year? every 10 years..

You maybe nice people there, and I didnt say you wernt, I I thought it would be a thriving, vibrant community.. what I saw didnt reflect that.

[shikira]

smoothcoops, is your reply reflecting the type of people who live in nimbin? - foul mouthed uneducated brain dead morons?. You may be nice.. so far I see no proof of that.

[Tschano]

I've been to Nimbin many times:-)It's a great place if you like weed,mushies,acid and stuff.Police stopped us once and we had like 20 hash cookies and said "Be careful with those if you eat too many they'll give ya a headache :-) " I was so stoned at that moment and i pissed myself laughing :-) Weed is not legal in Australia but for a small quantity nobody will bother you!

[smoothcoops]

"Bullshit, its illegal here like anywhwere else, the police dont take smoking lying down Muppett!!

[BigVolcanoNet]

Excellent video, and a different look at a place that has so many cliches thrown at it.

[espokes]

I have been to Nimbin, hehe cool place.

[rockguitar312]

ahhh 3:31 is hevan

[hendrixman1515]

is it legal?

[muddwell]

Weed isnt legal anywhere in Australia, I just think they overlook Nimbin. Maybe im wrong.

[perksy10001]

no they do

[smoothcoops]

With a name like Mudboy,maby ya parents overlooked you name ya freek

[muddwell]

thats a coincidence, your mum said the same thing when I was fucking her in the ass ... crazy stuff.

[smoothcoops]

i thought it was your father,lol

[muddwell]

I can see how you can get them confused. Your mother is an ugly bitch.

[smoothcoops]

Mate me Mum is dead you sick fucker,I cant wait to see you in Nimbin,so i can smash your fucking head in Cocksucker,feel free to make an appointment with me,I am waiting!!

[muddwell]

you started it you inbred fucking hick. stop commenting on my shit.

[perksy10001]

it's alot like vancouver technically illegal, but the cops ond't care.

[recordedtube]

hell yes, i've been there with jim's alternative tour from byron bay (where i worked in a hostel) trough lismore and than straight in to the coffeshop, buying space-cake from ''the ols lady'' went to the garden of than man with that big beard and went back ~CoMpLeTeLy StOnEd~!

[recordedtube]

[shanemacbike]

Freakin Nimbin!!!

[Viandanterosso]

God bless Nimbin!

[Julzmaniac]

I'm going there next week! :D.

[nzwarrior89]

me, im going for mardi grass festival not this weekend but next

[jacobtube89]

i'd love to come in here, the people looks so cool

[urbanrb30power]

hey overlander just wanted to add that the mardi grass does not celebrate marijuana use, it is a law reform rally peacefully protesting every year until cannabis is legalised..

[overlander]

hi urban30power

thanks for the info

[cotthead1234]

@overlander knowledge is power!

[utubenamex]

@urbanrb30power

Yah, right...

[Lad22nd]

I know a couple guy's who are taking a visit to Nimbin as part of their schoolies celebration hahahaahhaaa

[Scott2201]

Nimbin is an awesome place and The Shannon is beautiful with the waterfalls and the rainforest, I can't wait to go there again!

[smoothcoops]

"True,but Nimbin always rocks" "Where else can you live and leave doors unlocked,No Bush-fires here!! ( media,portrays Nimbin as being a lifestyle change)" We don't live in a community,we breath it,we are happy,healthy people, we are always will be and always holding moral values,as we will all be one!and we shall raise a lot of money,

[Evolutionrunbackward]

I heard that Nimbin's getting bad coz of heroin and amphetamines and shit. Thats the problem with weed, its okay by itself, but wherever theres drug users there is a potential market for hard drug dealers looking to make an extra buck. Drugs arent as bad as money in terms of a catalyst for wrongdoing, I reckon.

[xsunisshiningx]

i´ve traveled around in auz for 10months been twice in nimbin.... i´ve celbrated my 20th birthday in nimbin on the mardigrass festival in 2004.... best birthday party ever.... ^^)

[owndor]

[zogrush]

[peaceandlove1988]

Ti raggiungerò,promesso...

[rollabiffta]

[kennylikes2lol]

[overlander]

[kennylikes2lol]

[Hendrixstrato]

[rindai74]

i know whats goin on in the hills, mass cultivation.

[JustinFromSydney]

Can you actually walk into the herb store and buy Marijuana?

[VomitFromTheEyes]

You used to be able to. The 'Hempbar' got raided and is not selling anymore. But if you just wanna get some weed it's not really difficult at all in Nimbin!

[cubancheese]

fuck its not difficult anywhere, so i would imagine nimbin would be practically throwing it at you.

[JAWDO]

lived ther for 6 weeks once.. definately have to get outta town to really feel the place

[wanderyears]

Very interesting doco Mr Overlander - look forward to viewing all of them. Very well put together AA+!

[BarbieGeneric]

Everyone should visit Nimbin at least once...

[paddycoolZ1]

what a cool place. the environment there looks to be in safe hands. Padraic
