I wasn't stopped from smoking mixed anywhere , just asked to keep baccy out of sight

Good info, bad thread. This should be hidden info passed on from old members to new members who have proven themselves worthy. I'm all for sharing but as DC said, this could shut a place down. I read a lot of love for budtenders on here, how would it feel to put them out of job?

Do what I did, read, find a member who smokes tobacco, and PM them.

Not to say, I won't be using the info received here! HAH!

Same here. In Popeyes downstairs there is actually a warning leaflet under the glass on one of the tables but the guy said just make sure there is no 'evidence' otherwise it's cool. I think some girl told us the same some place else but otherwise everywhere was fine.

I was really worried about the ban when I went last June, the first trip after the ban. Needn't have worried. Smoked tobacco in a few places that others were. Even as a non-cig smoker I couldn't tell there was tobacco in the smoke drifting out of coffeeshops. Just smelled like beautiful weed to me.

Where possible I smoked my mixed joints outside though so it hardly mattered, nothing better than relaxing in the sun with a good coffee and reading a bit of Discworld.

If you buy a prerolled hash joint , by default , its got baccy in surely ?

Many Dutch bars allow smoking (tobacco) - anyway , they look after their customers in a pragmatic way.

I politely asked the budtender if they had something I could use instead of tobacco after making a purchase....was either told 'tobacco is fine just keep it out of sight' or had a big jar of some mental herb substitutes slammed in front of me

No harm in checking first...manners and all that!

They were fine on my trip also. use tobacco with no hastle apart from the dragon women in dampkring (the one with the stoned cat). very rude to people. even though they were buyin bud and drinks in there. she didn't want people hanging about for too long!

Maybe a good idea would be to make this thread only visible to registered forum members (if the forum software allows for that). We do have to do our best to try to protect these establishments...

Doh, wrong thread

Great info. I haven't visited since the Tobacco ban and thought it was much worse than it was, seems I needn't have worried.

i asked in a couple of shops, and both sid no tabbacco, however for me, the best shop to chill and watch the world go by whilst route 66 i think its called, opp prix di ami

I don't think it is a big deal to name shops. The authorities are well aware the ban is being ignored in coffeeshops, but even more noticeable, in certain bars.

The reality is that the Dutch have not yet decided to strongly enforce the law. Whether they ever do is another question, but I cannot think this will go on forever. Look at France, a place synonymous with cig. smoking. Yet the ban there is absolute and no one breaks it.

Route 99 used to be my first stop, had some really buzzy Jack Herrer from there on a few visits.... There again, it was my first smoke purchased

All pre bagged and now have a smoking room.. Unfortunately the Pool tables had gone last time I was there and the bar is now downstairs.

Tobacco was allowed in all the shops I visited in August. I asked in the first few, but didn't bother from then on. Tobacco's even out on the table in most. Think they've given up on the ban

are you spaced?
