Hello dear cannafine Audience
My Name is Michael and today we're heading to Seattle zur Boro School
of Glass. Lead back and enjoy.
So, we settled a little in Seattle and are well medicated and more chill now.
We thought we would take a trip to Boro School of Glas Art.
Here they produce great high end Bubbler, small Bongs to inhale extracts.
Great glass artists work here and even teach others.
We just wanted to see what exactly they are doing here
and we are just going to raid them now, they have no idea we are coming.
But from experience we can say they are all very welcoming and open
expecially because Cannabis is legal here.
And we are hoping to get a little tour, so let us go inside.
Hello. Hi! How can i help you?
Hi. My name is Michael and i am coming
from Germany. I've heard you make nice
glass art here.
Yeah let me show you around Michael. Come on.
In our Glass-Showroom we've got stuff from
artist all around the world and people
who work here in our studio mostly.
They travel, they come work in our studio.
They make these great pieces and...
check out what we got.
Yeah so, at the Boro School we teach pipemaking
classes, we teach jewelry making and vessels, beads,
pretty much anything that you can
make on a torch we can teach you how to make.
One can find you on the internet of course. Where can we find you?
So, our website is www.theboroschool.com
and that's where you can find Information on all of our classes
here at the studio.
Yes people, If you want to become a glas blower just check out this website
and if you have time and want to fly to Seattle you can learn how to blow your own bong.
Awsome isn't it?
Thank you very much.
That's amazing
J.D. is back there. He's one of our instructors
and Mr. Gray is another instructor in the class.
And he is somewhere out there.
May i have a look at this piece maybe?
In Germany this just started, you know.
... the high-end-glass.
Dabbing is just coming up in Germany.
Butter, shatter, oil, Bhutan extraction, you know
all the things... That's all kinda new.
People know about but they are not so professional.
So all the dabbing-things are not so popular but they are becoming more and more.
The Boro School of Glass luckily provided us with a chill spot to take a break
and have a smoke, just like Berlin, it is great.
We are watching Mr. Grey at work. He is in the middle of a lesson
all his pupils are listening and he explains how to build a pipe.
He's one of the two instructors around here.
Mr Grey is known to build his pipes looking like buds.
He's making pipes shaped like Flowers and buds
He has to medicate himself during the glas blowing, he needs his inspiration.
This is a Set that i made with Darby Holm
There's a lot of leaves in my work
and i call it "nuggetry" this type of work.
And this is a functional piece
There is the downstem.
Waters goes in here and the banger come up there.
This one is non-functional
There is a stand that goes with them.
Just a ganja-pipe
How long are you doing the art?
I've been blowing glass for about 16 years, 17 years now.
It's function for passion, you know and for purpose but...
Can we find your work on the internet?

gray with an "A"
I'm really impressed.- Thank you, i appreciate that.
Thanks a lot for introducing us to your art and your work, really.
Thanks for coming up.
Here the glass is beeing hardened out. I learned that at Roor.
You also have a brand called "Boro Glass?"
There is "Boro Farms Glass"
This is J.D.
I started blowing glass about 15 years ago. I just started off in my
garage and work my way up so now we have
bigger studios and stuff. It's a lot of fun.
People know you from Spannabis?
You have been there this year?
Yeah i went to expogrow last year and
then I went to Spannabis this year and
the European Flame-off. My friend Lars
runs the European flame off they do
glassblowing competitions with all the pipe
makers of Europe from russia, switzerland, spain...
I've got a friend who, my audience also know him,
he's called "VanHazeing"
He's kind of our teacher about glass art,
because in Germany we don't know as much
about it as you do.
How comes your far advanced here? In the States.
Because it started here. Glass-pipes started in
Eugene Oregon. Bob Snodgrass was
the guy who exposed everybody to the glass
pipe. He blew glass pipes on a Grateful
Dead tour. He discovered how to make fuming,
which is color changing when your
pipe changes colors
And he taught people and so from Eugene
Oregon that's where the glass pipe
movement started and it's gone all over the
countries, to Japan, now to Europe, so
lifestyle, the dab-culture is what's really
bringing this art to a lot of people.
Because not everyone understands smoking
flowers through glass, through bongs cause they smoke
spliffs. The first glass pipes were really made just
to taste weed. You know, they were made to smoke weed better.
Oil culture it's brought the glass into
play cause you can't smoke oil without
glass. The dab culture with the oil has
really been able to open up the market
to Canada, to Europe. Now people are
interested in the glass because they
have something to use with the oil. It's the
good ones.
I don't know if you'd like do dab right
now but i have some if you'd like to kick it out.
After you tell me about your creations.
I made this one all by myself
this design is a wormhole.
The function of it is we put a quartz
banger in it. It's made by Quave Club Banger.
Th dab and the smoke travel through
the whole pipe and then it bubbles up the
bottom
And the reclaim, the resin
gets caught here and it keeps your water cleaner
You can change your water without
getting the resin inside your water. So it makes
for tastier hits. Like with this one... This one has
water in. You can kind of see
it has just like nice slow will pull on it.
This one has like some opals in it if you wanna pull.
It's got a nice airflow.
How long does it take you to make such a piece?
It took a really long time to learn.
Something like this takes me
three to four days.
This right here with for the
terpenes for the flavor so if you take
after you heat this up and you let it
cool down so it's a lower temperature
when you take your dab to get more of
the terpenes more of the flavor and this is to
help catch that you can put it on there and
when you turn it it will direct the air
flow with this hole will push the oil
around to the hottest point of the nail.
Even in the smallest there is science there.
Because if you take dab too hot it
kicks the flavor away and it hurts your
lungs. If your nail is at the right
temperature: delicious you get all the
terpenes and all the flavor of the weed.
So as an expert, i've seen in germany there are
very different kinds of nails. Which
one would you recommend? Is there the best
nail or...? - I like the banger like
this. This design, because it allows you
to heat the quartz up away from the glass
We'll keep this up we'll time it for
fifty seconds. After 15 seconds you
take your dab and it's very delicious hit.
And then you clean it, reheat it and that's the
next person. So there's a whole process
of the dab. So you are nothing only
creating a glass art culture, you're also creating a
cannabis dabbing culture here. - Yes. They go
hand in hand. Without the
glass culture there wouldn't be the dab
culture. Without the dab culture we wouldn't
have the glass culture. So they go
hand-in-hand. I sm oke a lot so
you know I make it, I try it I don't
like it, I remake it. You know, it's a lot
of trial and error. Lots of research
and development. So many variations if
you can do it to make it smoke differently.
I really bewonder that because
i always try to teach our german audience
bong culture.
Yes. - But this is really high-end bong culture.
This is the, like this way
of smoking these people who are definitely
more of the elite smokers you know?
It's not the piece for everybody. Like this one
right here will sale for 9,000$.
I have three pieces out of everything i made
this year available and that's it.
It's pretty insane, the way the dab culture is in america.
I sold a bong for 18.000$
this year
If you want to try some,
with a slow-tip dab, like i
was telling you, i can put some water in this
new one and I got a brand new banger
so you could time it out and you
can experience it the best way that we have.
I'd be delighted.
Excellent.
You can't get good extracts in Germany, or only very rarely.
Now I'm allowed to try.
Bruce Banner is the name
of the strain. So we get the timer going.
Everybody's phone has a timer.
Stopwatch, reset...
I'm going to heat this up up you get the
full experience of the low turned dab.
Did you ever burn yourself? Since you're a glass blower?
Every other day....
So you're used to it? Kind of?
You never used to burning. It always hurts.
55 seconds yeah we're gonna wait 55
seconds. It's a little hot.
You're going to waste it if you hit it too soon. You're going to
take away all the flavors all the
medicinal property of this. But if you wait
the time and you take it at a low temperature
when it's supposed to be hit
It's going to be nicer on
your lungs, it's gonna taste better you're going
to get more of the medicinal properties of it.
...3....4.... Go.
First hit of of it. - Whow. Very medicating very
impressive thank you very much. Thank you
so much for stopping by and saying hi Michael.
It's really good to have you.Have a
safe travel over here in the US.
Thank you for hosting me here so nice.
... explaining me really everything I'm
really impressed about your dabbing
culture and.... Can people find your glass art
in the internet? Yes it's:
jdmaplestonglass.com
Hopefully in January will
be having it online. The name of the film
is called Vagabongs - American pipe dream
is about the American pipe culture and
how we make pipes to travel around and
teach each other how to make cool stuff so....
The trailer is up on the website so
make sure to go check it out and
hopefully we'll be able to have it out
by january with german subtitles and
everything.
Check out the video. It's really cool i
just watched it. It's a real cool video. Vagabongs
Its about glass-blowing around the world.
I was impressed.
Nice production and....
Okay, that's the sign to leave.
You have to work.
Thank you very much.
You guys have safe travels.
Thank you and much success. Bye-bye.
Very nice, wasn't it? Very different from what we have in German Pharmacies.
Too bad we don't have proper extracts yet.
In this context i'd like to know: What do you think of dabbing in general?
What's your dabbing experience, your opinion on dabbing-pipes?
What's the best one? Whats the best nail?
I'd like to know all of that from you guys.
Next time we're heading to Portland, Oregon. Cannabis is legal there as well.
Thats where we first have our RV that we've rented in Seattle.
It'll be a great episode.
And please don't forget to like, share and subscribe cause we got a message but we need you to spread it.
And before i leave you for today i'd like to answer a viewers question.
He's a cannabis patient and paraplegic and he asked:
If his indication is to be considered possible for medical cannabis.
I'm not a doctor, but i can say that there are quite a few paraplegics in germany that already use medical cannabis.
Against their spasms and their posttraumatic pain.
There is good evidence for that.
If you haven't tried it yet you might consider being a bit carefull in the beginning.
All that is to be explained by the doctor.
But his second question was: Will he stay mobile?
Can he keep his drivers license?
Thats being managed very differently by the different DMVs all over germany
That solely depends on the person in charge.
There are cannabis-patients that can continue driving,
there are some that have to take part in another test,
there are some that had their drivers license revoked due to their medication.
We hope and we work for a change there. For a distinct legal ordinance.
Right now i can't say anything more specific.
In this Spirit i wish y'all a very nice weekend. Don't overdo it.
See you next time.
