Question for Dutch Pot Smokers

[Acid King]

How the hell do you pronounce "blowtje"?

[D]

I think you got a hole in one, but it's based on an English word so the word does not exist. But if the word existed it would probably be written that way.
Smoking pot is sometimes called blowing in Holland; though I would never use that word for obvious reasons

[Ed Oscuro]

So "-tje" is silent?

I can't imagine how cocaine got mixed up with mere pot though..!

[D]

tje is used as little or to just cute-ify something, or in this case make a word of it because a blow is nothing.
So they named it a little blow. blowtje
Yep, weird. I never use this word or any people I know. It's a word for losers

used:
-joint
-stick

How the hell do you pronounce "blowtje"?

blow me

[Super Laydock]

Blowteja or something like that I suppose. My phonetic wirtit isn't what it used to be...

Like D said, nobody in real life uses that word afaik.

Joint, or Sticky are more common names.
Not really into the whole seen though, so I am sure there are more "cool" names than those!

[Acid King]

The reason I ask is because I read an article about the cultural development of the blowtje that compared it to the american blunt. They never really explain how it's pronounced in the article though. At class today, we couldn't decide on a pronunciation so most people just referred to them as Dutch blunts.

My favorite part of the article was a Dutch woman that said when she sees someone smoking a joint with only weed in it, she knows they're either American or an old hippie.

What is a Dutch Pot and how do you smoke it?

[D]

A blunt is not a joint.
joint is made withg rolling paper.
a blunt is made with a cut open sigar or special blunt papers. The chocolate ones rule!
good times....

good times....

Indeed I have fond memories of Sonic 2 World Championships, drawing concept art for the lost Mega Drive classic "Bill the Hyena", and even at one point crafting an entire action plan for Sega involving ceasing production of the Dreamcast and utilising 3rd world labour to return to manufacturing Mega Drive games. We were planning to email it the following day but never got round to it for some reason.

But yeah, I've accompished so much while stoned off my tits. On one lunch break in high school, me and my cronies managed to encase an entire tree in tin foil in the wood down the road. And another time I wrote and recorded an entire concept album for a girl I wanted to nob. Happy times

How common is it for dutch people to smoke pot and stuff? Is it as socially acceptable as having a beer for instance?

This is an excellent question, excellent.
It's mainly youth, lower class workers and tourists that smoke.
And no, it's not accepted at all. Nobody would like to admit they smoke this. Never good for your career. But I guess most people of all classes have tried one time or another.
You have your pot smoking friends and your non pot smoking friends which originate from work. They are worlds apart Well, that's my personal life for ya anyway, but I would not call myself a common dutch person.

"not at all" is overstating it by a large margin.
I know of only a few people that have much problem with this.
Though I smoke only a few times a year, my boss has no problems and I can talk openly about this.
May be different if you're a total pothead or junk, but smoking weed once in a while isn't considered a big deal by most people.

It's mainly youth, lower class workers and tourists that smoke.

May be so, since upper class can afford stuff like cocaine.

maybe you're right, this is just my view I guess it depends...

Well if you're rolling either damp weed or hash then you need the tobacco for it to burn properly.

A blunt is not a joint.

Blunts are kinda like the jamaican spliff's little sister.

just let it dry out a bit.....but if you have really damp weed that is bad as it means it wasnt dried properly, losing a great deal of THC in the process....the THC molecules collect in the stalk attaching itself to sugar molecules....if you dont let it dry properly the THC doesnt get leeched out of the stalk properly

and for hash you should just do bots or bowls....joints waste hash

and i dont know what kinda blunts you roll....mine are usually at least an 1/8th in em....dutchmasters ftw!!!

I just mentioned the damp weed and hash thing because that's supposedly why the European heads starting mixing it with tobacco in the first place. I never saw the point in it, but then again I'm a filthy American.

[jonny5]

oh....ok.....

i really love non-cigarrette smokers who put tobacco in there joints because they get 'higher'.....

meanwhile they just get a head rush off the nicotine...

personally i like to taste my weed.....good weed tastes delicious.....tobacco tastes like shit

[Acid King]

Yeah, a common line back in high school was that smoking a cigarette after you smoke weed increased your high. Actually, it just gave you a normal nicotine rush while you were high. For that matter, drinking a 40 after smoking increases your high too.

On a side note, the smell is one of the reasons why I love hops. I've had a few beers that pretty much smelled like liquid weed. If I had money to the point where I didn't care about wasting a shit load of good pot, I'd love to dry hop a beer with some choice trees. It would be fucking expensive, but no doubt it would be worth it.

[antron]

if you hold tobacco in your lungs like you should with weed, you'll turn green.

[jonny5]

what do you guys pay for weed in the states?

hell yeah, originally from the emerald triangle myself . Here in JPN the greenery sucks ass, not to mention risky as hell. Seems like I hear about someone getting busted for it everyday on NHK. My JPN friend just spent six weeks in jail for having less than a gram on him!!

I just heard from colleage's that actually surrounding countries such as france, belgium and germany have more pot usage than Holland.

BC weed is crap...its all outdoor.....but there is tons of it for that reason....

i was referring to the premium indoor grown in ontario.....its won the cannabis cup numerous times.....

perhaps if we have another trade or sale or something we could do a swap

but ya....i wont even smoke outdoor.....
