EAGLE BILL
I was in Adam in 1998 for my first trip and was at the hemp museum (I think thats where I was) and there was this dude there called Eagle Bill, had some sort of vaprorizer and was offering to let me try it, I did of course. Is he still there and does anyone know who this guy is?
Thanks
Eagle Bill is the inventor of the vaporizer.
A well-known figure on the Amsterdam cannabis scene for fifteen years, Eagle Bill is American, from Cleveland Ohio. Two English grandparents notwithstanding, he is part Cherokee. "Only a little part, y'understand, but it's the key part." The active ingredient. After an extremely colourful life, near-death experiences and larger than life brushes with the law, snippets of which he may tell you if you earn his trust, he found himself in Amsterdam learning about the technique of vaporising cannabis, before any of today's devices existed. He felt that this way of taking the herb had to be much safer than smoking it, and he's promoted vaporisation ever since.
He has been seen at numerous cannabis venues, with his huge vapor bottle and hot air gun, or with a more portable modern electrical device, with long queues waiting for a go on his vaporiser. He's 'vaporised' thousands, per year, as resident at the Sensi Seeds shops next door to the Hash and Marijuana Museum, and all the current vaporisers owe something to him - I still find him from time to time offering free hits off his invention
I was interrupted and was unable to finish the post above, If you want to know more about the man, the myth that is Eagle Bill, here is some info in dutch and english: http://www.theflow.nl/smoke/ebill.htm

eagle bill was my first vapor experiance, in the back of the hash musuem, i talked to the guy for awhile and then he offers me a hit off of the giant bottle of vapor (he did ask for a small contribution)...he asked me if i was a daily smoker and i said yes and took a large hit, he watched me and asked how it was, i told him okay, he then said he would turn the hot air gun up a notch and literally blow vapor into my lungs, i took the second hit and he watched and told me i had a high tolerance and he would give me one more hit, i took all i could and was trying to use sign lanuage to tell him i wanted more, he knew i had had enough and turned it off, i slide back against the wall and came damn close to passing out, there were 3 or 4 english tourist there watching me and after looking at me and then at eagle bill and his giant vaporizer only one of them summoned up the courage to hit it. needless to say when i returned to the states none of my friends believed my story, that is untill i bought a vaporizer over the internet and now i am a legend in my little hood.
