BOG Does VANSTERDAM!!! Vancouver is the Future...

[BushyOldGrower]

Some of you may be wondering if you want to read this thread but I assure you that my clothes stay on.

Recently St. Teflon stopped by Bogland on his way to Vancouver to meet Gypsy and Bubbleman. Since he would be coming back my way within the week I decided, on the spur of the moment, to take a trip with Tef. We prepared some Sour Bubble samples along with some bubblehash and headed toward the Great White North of Canada in Western British Columbia.

Having never been north of Washington state out west this was a new city for me and I had heard many good things that seemed too good to be true about Vancouver. The medical mari laws there are quite relaxed from what I saw there. The climate is right for stoners and the place reminded me of Amsterdam as an International City that is really cool. 40% asians live there I believe. The asian ladies are so foxy too.

First off the morning after a late arrival I was up early taking photos in a nearby waterfront park. As the sun came up I cast a long shadow on Vancouver. This may be indicative of the future plans we have to distribute from Vancouver or Toronto or both. We plan to make a presence in this very cool place and for me it is just a long days drive.

Vansterdam is beautiful as are the people... BOG

I love you people for being so kind to me. I had a wonderful visit and this thread is a tribute to you.

Sunrise...

Me and my shadow.

Isn't it beautiful?

This is an Awesome City with Great Folks!

I felt so welcomed by my friend Bubbleman who showed up in his cool Hemi Ram Truck and he took us to his place of business. Bubbleman sells the bubblebags I love. I told him I needed a new 120 bag and of course he gave me one for free. Bubbleman is a very generous and kind host and he took us all out to a fine dinner of local pacific salmon which I just loved.

In his shop I found one of the coolest places in Vancouver. BOG

The Melting Point

Prepare to go into orbit...Volcano city!

Cops walk by and don't even bother looking in and you won't believe what goes on in there all the time. No smoking but we get really high and have wonderful things to eat and drink as well. The Smoothies are creamy and cold and make a perfect quencher for all the vaping we do.

too cool

too cool

Nice BOG. Great photos, looks like a real good time, and really beautiful there.
I would very much like to check out Vancouver. It's the closest thing to Amsterdam we have here in North America. It may be far as hell from me, but I can justify the trip since it is on this continent, right ?
I've been to various parts of Canada, mostly in Ontario. I grew up 10 minutes from the bridge into Windsor. I've always loved Canada and the Canadian people. Always very friendly and welcoming, and the country is beautiful. Much love to Canada from the noisy neighbor downstairs.

Very nice report BOG.......

So 40% asian huh. Damn I already have my asian hunny, but if I was single I may have just taken off immediately after hearing that...I love those asian hunnies.

Expansion? Does this mean we will see BOG seeds at emeryseeds and other NW shops?

Inside the Melting Point you feel welcome.

Inside the Melting Point you feel welcome.

This is the best part and there are lots of cool places where people get high in Vancouver. The best part is the love I felt from everyone. Not because I am a breeder but because of the love we shared for our herbs. Everyone proudly filled the Volcano's for all there to share freely. I never once saw a cross word and love was the rule. The stoners there are of a high spiritial level and they meditate and do Sweat Lodge meditations to be "humbled". I will return for that. They guarantee me an out of body experience. I can't wait.

I may even return this spring and again in Summer. I have friends now in Vancouver so I am a richer man now. To me wealth is the ability to enjoy the company of loved ones and the time to do it. Money is just a bother really. Money isn't why I am so interested in Vancouver. I see this as a new age city. You really must visit there to know exactly what I mean. BOG


Bubbleman has vaped some Sour Bubble and he looks pretty high.

Give the sweat lodge a try Bog,

It is a very out of body experience, I did it for 5 straight hours, session after session, with an Indian Chief. I remember vividly lying face down in the mud, looking up in the dark, and seeing the Indian Chief hitting his peace pipe, the glow from the cherry lighting up his face, it was like watching a movie, but I was there.

Your only beef would be the tobacco, in an american indian ceremony they pass the peace pipe, which is filled with some hand picked tobacco from some certain place. That and some other herbs. Sorry but NO pot is smoked through the peace pipe, I already asked and he said no, and he is a very famous, old, wise, person who knows everything about his heritage, but I am sure some of the stoner indians did.

Ask Gypsy about the Big Plans for Canada

Ask Gypsy about the Big Plans for Canada

RC and Gypsy had a meeting in Toronto after we parted company and we have our own plans I think also.

We enjoyed each others company as we got loaded in the store and at a nearby apartment of a friend there. If we could safely cross the street we had it made between the two places. We could smoke in the apartment and there were some shrooms available. I took a couple small caps 2 nights in a row and my attitude was beautiful.


The front desk is rarely clear of people but I caught it empty...

See the Volcano filling the vapor bag? They sell them and some glass and other herbs as well as the food and drinks which are all organic and healthy as well as delicious.

I didn't eat this giant mushroom...enough for 20 people there.

Gypsy took a huge bong hit and then needed to rest a bit from the saki at lunch.

Get your bubblebags if you dont have them yet...

Bubblebags of all sizes and sets are on display...

I kept staring at this wooden bust...

[Guest]

She give you Wood BOG? Looks like a blast. I need to try that place out some day. A nice drive up the 1 (PCH) past all the nice weed spots in Cali and Oregon on our way to the Van. will be a bonus. How was the border crossing?

Blatant

 

[Guest]

So you like the Melting Point, some nice glass there, should have been at the Glass Show when bubble first opened, I was there and some other very cool family members showing their Art, you can see the opening and what a nice studio it is on a cannabis culture pot tv show, runs about a hour w/ miss black doing the show,she talks to the artist, bubble, ect.
One artist their , Amber her work is sweet, fuctional pipes is her thing, did you see her work? beside Ivan she is one of my favorites.
I also see you partying with Bubble nice young man ,
a cool little Brother, glad you know him, The Circle is getting tighter I see
Its a very SMALL world, Ill be there next month doing glass & other art with some friends, if the election goes bad were staying,
Vansterdam Rocks, much better than Oaksterdam, or Amsterdam
I recommend the trip to anyone see what your missing here in the states.
Peace,
Liberty

Right on BOG I'm glad you liked your first time up north :tup:

Vansterdam is one of my favorite vacations spots, so close but yet so totally different and open. Vancover and canada really is the future as holland increasingly goes along like Americas little bitch Canada has really taken on a "we'll do what we want" vibe no matter what America says, you got to love and respect that.

 

[BushyOldGrower]

Entering Canada?

Entering Canada?

It was so easy for a couple long hairs to drive in there even late at night and they didn't even check our ID.

You know Canadians are a lot like Europeans in their views. I saw this sign on a main street. BOG

Right on!!
