Bottom line... weed just tastes so much better pure than mixed.

Tobacco always overpowers any weed, leaving it tasting like a cigarette.

Barneys and Greenhouse on Harlemerrstratt allow tobbaco in joints
They just said keep it on the downlow

Apparently there's only about 30 official's in Holland to enforce the Smoking ban so the probability of being caught is slim to non

...but should any of those 30 be anywhere near google savy, what question should they ask it?. Good thing you're keeping it on the downlow.

I still think it's a silly idea to name the shops and bars (without a smoking room) that let you use tobacco, in this thread. Tempting fate?.

Quite right about tempting fate. Might I suggest to all when responding to a question that should be kept on the "down-low", ask to reply further by private email. Many times I have read threads asking stuff like how to best transport gear that will make it through airport/rail security, which shops sell more than the allowed 5 grams, and this.
If teenies can find this site, so can the authorities. Would totally suck for a shop that is mentioned in this thread as allowing one or more violations of the law. Results: Shop possibly fined or closed for a period of time, or god forbid, loss of license. All in the name of diluting joints, selling more than 5g's, etc...
Not too difficult to figure out, given a little thought, the ramifications of stupidity, or worse, ignorance. Why tempt fate? Last thought: How would any of you feel if you discovered that information you gave on a forum such as this resulted in the closure of a shop? Food for thought.

Peace.

Was back for a wkend 2weeks ago. Most CS didn' care and even a few bars ignored t. Even had the bartender tell me it was OK when I sat down or there were ashtrays on the bar.

Right. I have been noticing this as well. I for one don't care either way because I smoke pure. My words were more food for thought than anything else.
Just saying....

Peace.

I only use a little bit of baccy anyway, never too much to overpower the weed. And i do this in every coffeeshop, i just be really discreet about it. I usually have look around at other people first and i see plenty doing it.

I use tobacco usually because the weed in the UK is #!@% but in the dam theres no need. But I do tend to find myself doing it.... this time ill be avoiding this habit.

I just got back from the dam and ALL the coffeeshops I went into were cool about smoking tobacco with weed. I asked every budtender on entry what the deal was in their coffeshop with smoking tobacco with weed, and they ALL said you can do it anywhere as long as not too obvious, and some said just keep your cigarette packet off the table (which is totally fair enough)

All in all the smoking ban in the Dam is very relaxed... just respect each coffeshop`s rules and ask beforehand if you are unsure about anything then you know where you stand.

Peace

I was curious about this as well. We should have a list of shops with smoking rooms. I know Freeworld has one in the back of the shop.

Does Green Place have one?

Katsu and Siberie have smoking rooms. In Katsu's case, the existence of a smoking room seems largely ceremonial.

Nice, thanks for the info. Only about 3 weeks now.

As long as you ask and keep tobacco products off the table all should be good. I believe that the police or any authority need some kind of warrant to even open a joint up to see what is inside so unlikely to be caught that way and if there's no evidence on the table all should be good.

I agree with not naming Coffeeshops. This could be bad. As for advice on posting and getting it home I am pretty sure the authorities are well aware that this happens on a regular basis and they know exactly how it happens. They don't need to trawl the web to see if someone will be sending a couple of grams home in a DVD case. There again, this could also be said about them knowing about tobacco use in Coffeeshops.
