I’ve been caugh smoking weed, i can tell you that cops don’t let you go so easy, but “luckly” my weed was some fake weed, and they let me go… but it was a very very very unhappy evening.
Be caryfull if you smoke in park or anywhere else outside, ’cause if someone see you, he will call police immidiatly..
Law Enforcement: The main thing is that the police have to ask to search you. If you say no they can’t do anything. It’s not good to drive because they can stop your car and get your license number. walk, take a taxi, or the subway. Don’t let them search you or look at your passport. Just say No! and walk away. They might try to strong arm you but do not let them search you. If you are under arrest you will be in handcuffs otherwise walk away.
Cops are really cracking down. Shibuya is still available but is VERY creepy. There was a pretty big bust about a week ago.
another reporter added: “The Japanese law is a lot worse than it is said to be- for one, you are guilty until proven innocent. The number of cops is insane, and they’re always looking to bust anyone who looks white (no joke, the police is quite racist.)”
Where to buy Marijuana in Tokyo: Since law enforcement is so tight in Tokyo, you should be very careful with street purchases. However, if you are set on making a purchase, try going to SHIBUYA (Tokyo shopping and entertainment district) and talk to the middle-easterns standing by the corner of jewelry shop across SAKURAYA.
they got some weed for sure, but quality varies.
When you buy, have a look through fillers can be found in the sacks on occasion.
Marijuana cannot be found anywhere but hash is pretty easy to score.
Our most recent report is: “Shibuya- Shibuya is growing more dangerous everyday, people just keep gettin caught. Don’t trust the Arabs, the police watch their every move. If you do decide to buy from an Arab there, the hashish and weed price is 4,000/5,000 yen. They will usually take your cell phone number, and call you with a meeting place. If you buy from them, get the fuck out of Shibuya as soon as the deal is closed, avoiding major streets.
Roppongi- You can get weed from almost any black club owner in Roppongi, slightly safer than buying from the Shibuya dealers, but still extremely risky. Prices here are more expensive, usually 5,000/6,000 yen.”
an also: “You can get weed in hash (brick) form in Shibuya (NOT SAFE AT ALL) Ebisu (safer) and Ropongi These are the hotspots, and there are many headshops everywhere. The dealers all look middle eastern and just stand around.”
and :”Kingston bar in roppongi, safe, ask the waitress (actually its a woman), then she will give you the stuff.
Don’t buy anything in the street!!!”
and: “Now, Roppongi mostly, although it’s filled with cops all night so be really careful. It’s risky to ask people, and even more when they’re japanese : they’re cool people but once you slip out of their “system” they can easily go talk to some cops about “how weird the stranger who just asked me for drugs looks”.
The other way of finding marijuana is by “knowing” people. In Tokyo, it’s all about contacts and meeting people even if it doesn’t seem so : you build yourself not a reputation but a list of persons to call.”
Tokyo Marijuana Prices:
Good Hydro: 4,000- 7,000yen per gram depending on connections.
Nothing special, but works: 3,000- 5,500yen per gram again depending on connections.
Hash: 5,000yen pretty stable and close to this price.
If you buy 4 or 5 grams, sometimes you can get a small discount. It is recommended to do so – not for the fiscal reasons but because the more you buy at one time, the less you have to go there.
another report noted: “Expensive :
For weed, the good one you can find around bars in Roppongi:
7000-6000 yen the first times
5000-4000 yen (not less) once you get to know the guy you’re doing business with.
If you “know” people, you can get hashish for really good prices and the more you’ll come back to your dealer the better the quality will get.”
Brands: Marijuana brands in Japan are varied, and you may find imported Pot from Amsterdam (expensive), as well as local weed.
You will probably (not to say always) get bad stuff the first time, unless you push the man a little bit with something like “give me a good one, man”. By bad stuff I mean mostly old weed (you know, the one that doesn’t smell and leaves a bad bitter taste in your mouth). But then, if you come back, and if the guy likes you (if it’s a woman, be charming) he may start to give you some really good stuff. But you’re never sure. Sometimes, you’re not lucky and sometimes you thank god for the weed he granted you.
More information: Don’t smoke in public… Just don’t. It’s not worth it unless you’re sure that you’re in a totally safe place. In Tokyo, you’re almost always watched (…density…) but if you start losing yourself inside the small streets where only japanese “salary-man” go for work, you can sit and VERY dicreetly and silently lit up you joint (which you will hide behind your hand so that people don’t see the shape of it when you don’t smoke).
There are parks everywhere but they’re guarded (I mean there’ll always be at some point a man on duty telling you that you can’t be here) Roll up “cigarette sized joints” if you really want to smoke in a park.
Enjoy your smoking, and be careful.
In Tokyo, only REAL smokers can smoke. The others won’t get the motivation because of the paranoia level (price and risks..)
*THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT* Don’t cary any weed on you if you plan to buy things from a head shop. Head shops are pretty common in Japan, but it’s also common for the police to be waiting right outside, and trust me, they do search you.
– Overall, buying weed in Tokyo is possible. But, it’s expensive and very risky.
Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 3.5
Legislation: There’s no difference between hard and soft drugs in Italy, but a new law is now being discussed in the parliament, so 5 grams should now be considered as personal use
Law enforcement: Police usually have better things to do than look for stoners, but if you get caught in the act of selling or you have big quantities on you then you’re in trouble.
Where to buy marijuana: If you have no hook ups then hit Piazza delle Erbe (The square of the herbs… ironic) and make eye contact with one of the many moroccan guys standing by the fountain or under the porches that surround the square. Padova is a university city, ask people that look like they smoke and quite likely they’ll sort you out even themselves or by pointing you to the right guy.
Marijuana prices: Hash, from morocco mainly, is about 6-8 euro a gram, weed is 10-12 euro a gram but the possibilities of finding weed without knowing someone are low. If buying from the moroccan guys in the piazza: get the hash he gives you for what you’re paying him (20 euro is usual) , smell it (as you do) and ask him for a bit more, THEN hand him the money and off you go, ready for a quiet smoke in a lovely city
Marijuana brands:
More information: As far as smoking in public is concerned just don’t make it too obvious and you’ll be fine, and if you’re a tourist even better, police won’t be able to spaek to you and they’ll just ignore you if you’re not causing troble like. I strongly recommend people to go to Prato della Valle (biggest square in europe) for smoking, lay on the meadows blaze up there, puff puff and then chill.
Hope this info was useful, stay high stay free.
Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 4
Legislation: Ganja is in fact illegal in Jamaica.
Unless you are making trouble, you would rarely ever be hasseled. There are extremely rare traffic search stops between Montego bay and Negril but you’d be more likely to be struck by lightning. I often stop on the way to Negril to buy buds from an old friend.
Law enforcement: Do not huff around police! This gives them an invitation to latch onto you for some bribe money. I’d rather spend my greenbacks on buds. Security gaurds at the resorts will generally look the other way and most often will sell you buds if you ask.
The whole town exists because the tourists dump so much money there. The Jamaican people generally understand that it is important to make us want to come back and spend more money next winter. I’m sure if you were smoking ganja on the beach and cops were coming, the security guards would try to warn you to protect you.
Generally you can feel free to blaze in public streets, beaches, taxi cabs, or at bars, hotels, you name it. If you see the police coming, put your joint out and chill. If you do actually get caught up somehow (it can happen), you have a good chance of bribing your way out of the situation. They might laugh at a twenty dollar bill (USD), but if you happened to have a Benjamin in your pocket, you’ve probably got a really good chance of still catching your flight home on time.
Where to buy marijuana in Negril: This section doesn’t really need to be filled out, because you can not go through Negril without getting offered “the best” ganja by various Originals. This is especially true if you fit the description (I’m a 23 year old male a.k.a. target). I had a guy put ganja in my hand while my grandmama was sittin in the next seat watching. Notice how it wasn’t ME watching the dude put the ganja in GRANDMAMA’s hand. Anyways, mom was there too and she made me give it back.
For a fee, you can go on a tour of a plantation. According to a local farmer who goes by the name of Dr. Fabulous, “when you are on my plantation, you can point at a plant, and I will just go break a stick off and give it to you, no charge, just tell you to put it in your bag like that. Yeah mon.” Some people who have taken tours with other farmers in the past have said its not worth the twenty bucks a head it will cost you.
You have to a be a very stern, confident, “i know what the fuck the deal is” type of negotiator, or you’ll end up paying American ‘dro prices for some Jamaican Scwuag (like some of our fathers would probably do because they havn’t bought weed for like 17 years, but they are in Jamica mon! ….When in Rome….) .
Be sure to practice the art of walking away, especially from the first two or three dealers you talk to. You wouldn’t buy the first car you saw, would you?? Trust me, if they seem offended or angry that you’re walking away from the deal right now, you could ALWAYS come back later and get the same deal or a better one. Money talks. Bullshit walks.
So enough about HOW to buy ganja, the question was WHERE?
Answer: Anywhere. If you smoke, you dont need to know where to buy it, it will find you.
another report added: “It will quite literally find you. Scores of young children will try to sell you colas as you drive/walk around. Taxi drivers, wait staff, housekeepers, store owners, hookers, bums, and anyone in Rasta colors are good sources. Just start some small talk to get whatever it is you want in Negril.”
Marijuana prices: $20 could get you two grams or an ounce, depending on your bartering skills. Although the $20 ounce might be brown and seedy. It is more work to clean but all the stuff is good in my opinion. Break open the brown buds and they are still crystallish – this aint no brown Mexican brick weed.
Beware of free “gifts” and stuff like that. After you recieve a gift from a Jamaican hustler, he will harass the hell out of you for money. Remeber, there is no free joint……… haha, Just kidding! In my opinion, if you tell the guy that you don’t want any because you already have “a whole bunch” and he proceeds to smoke a joint with you, you don’t actually have to pay him when he starts asking you for money. But have conscience, my friend, have conscience.
another reporter added: “Highly variable. All sales are bartered. Generally the crafty Jamaican street hawker will start with a ridiculous figure like $100/bud to see if you’ll bite. Just say “Too high for my budget” and start to walk away and the price will begin to fall. In Negril buds are usually sold as a cola without any reference to weight. A cola the size of a baby’s arm can be had for as little as $5 (rare) but if you pay more than $20 you have been had.”
Brands: Monkey Skunk is to ganja as Red Stripe is to beer.
I watched one huslter count out on his fingers for me, “I’ve got Moneky Skunk, AK-47, Kush, blah, and blah”. I don’t even remember the last two.
Names? In 90% of the world they are absolutely meaningless. I don’t mess with names.
another reporter added: “Brands change frequently, a couple of years ago “Alaska” bud was the cats’ meow. Who knows what it will be this week! You will not find the old landrace Jamaican “Lambs Breath” or any other pure sativa any more. Now ALL Jamaican is composed of indica or hybrids. Indica yields more product per plant and the buds are denser and form tight colas forming a more attractive product. Since sativa is such a low yielder, must grow for such a long season, and has small airy buds, it has been abandoned by growers for the higher yielding, less detectable indicas. Unfortunately, the current indica buds found in Jamaica today are a very grim shadow of the old Jamaican sativa strains of the 60’s and 70’s. That said, the Jamaican indica/hybrids of today are still somewhat superior to American hydro strains. ”
More information: Many small cafe owners sell “space cake”. A few have even adopted the Cambodian nomenclature “happy cake”. Be warned that it is usually very potent and will usually put the most avid smoker down for an all night snooze. The wise will start with half of a small cake and eat the rest in a couple of hours if they still think they can handle it.
There are basically two areas to stay in Negril. There is 7 mile beach and then there are the cliffs further down. The cliffs have a little more privacy and i prefer them but if you like to get out on the beach for concerts, water sports, dancing, etc you might prefer to find accomodations on the beach. All inclusive resorts cater more to the family tourist set and are less friendly to stoners (they are also far more expensive than smaller bungalow providers and local eateries).
Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 5
Legislation: open pot smoking is not legally permitted, although Luxembourg’s courts are more permissive than those in the diminutive nation’s neighbours.
Law enforcement: if you are a simple smoker, just don’t be too obvious, don’t smoke near older people…they like to call the cops if they see you…younger people are cool
Where to buy marijuana: the “Grund” is probably still no1 for the nightlife, but you wont find weed there anymore, if you want some weed go to the “Gare” (train station) there you will actually find lots of weird guys (mosty black), they’ll get you everything, not only weed…
another reporter added: “Go into the park at the city center and just ask around. You are sure to see some stoners smoking and someone will point you in the right direction, just ask. Stay away from the train station, you will get ripped off and the police hang around there.”
additional info states: The only place to find ( not always ) weed in the “Grund” is in the reggae bar “Jamaican bar” if there r young smokers who can help you to find some.
If you go to the city center in “Hamilius” (there where r all the bus stations) u can go ask to young people in front of the Post . There r a lot of cameras in this area so the deal will mostly take place somewhere else in the city.
Marijuana prices: 50 euro for about 5 grams
or 4-5g for 25 euro U can try to get 4g for 20 (they won’t sell u for less than 20 euro except u know them so buy only 1 joint or 1g in a bag is not posible)
Marijuana brands: mostly duch brands,and mostly weed and hash from maastricht( city in Holland ) or Amsterdam but also home-made weed and hash which is often good quality too
WeBeHigh City Tale:
When it comes to smoking bud and boozing, Luxembourg proves that size doesn’t matter.
One of the world’s tiniest countries with a population about 30 times smaller than Los Angeles, Luxembourg’s 430,000 residents still topped a 50-nation ranking in alcohol consumption.
On average, they are also some of the most prolific drug users in Europe. Statistics on the number of regular cannabis smokers indicate that if you attend a professional soccer game at the 4,900-capacity stadium in Luxembourg City, the capital, you could find at least 49 locals ready and willing to fire up at half time.
Of course, open pot smoking is not legally permitted, although Luxembourg’s courts are more permissive than those in the diminutive nation’s neighbours. Nestled in a crook between France, Germany and Belgium, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg suffered ages of domination by larger countries. The end result is a proud national motto, “We want to remain what we are,” as well as a multicultural society that speaks Luxembourgish, French, German and English. Foreigners are not only accepted, they comprise 30 percent of the country’s population.
Luxembourg also boasts one of the world’s highest standards of living, which may explain why so many residents frequently enjoy a good joint. Information on soft drug prices is not widely available, but they are likely in line with those in neighbouring Belgium: around six dollars American for a gram of weed or hash. The Grund, or lower town, is Luxembourg City’s centre of nightlife and probably the best bet for finding soft drugs if you do not have a local connection. The party scene, however, is largely reflective of Luxembourg’s size.
“If you want to go out and see things happening, then it has to be Wednesday. This is the day that people in Luxembourg have nightlife,” said George, a Greek who lived in Luxembourg City. “Also try Friday and Saturday. All the other days Luxembourg seems an abandoned city.” His pub suggestions included Scotts in the Grund, as well as The Tube and Arts Café in the upper town. Nathalie, a Luxembourg native, suggested visitors check out Prime Time in Luxembourg City proper, Marx in Luxembourg-Gare, and a disco called Didgeridoo in Luxembourg-Hollerich.
<<>>
After smoking, visitors feeling the effects may also enjoy a tour of Luxembourg City’s “Casemates,” a 17-kilometer labyrinth of tunnels that once were part of a formidable fortress.
The country hosts a number of festivals throughout the year that will liven up a visit. The best party is National Day on June 23, which is as big for Luxembourg as New Year’s Eve. Early March is another fun season with the arrival of Carnival and Bürgsonndeg (Bonfire Day). Octave in late April climaxes with a parade led by the royal family, while Schueberfouer delivers fun in August. The wine festivals in the Moselle Valley to the east of Luxembourg City also kick off in August and last through November.
In 1996, Luxembourg decriminalized soft drug use and even went as far as suggesting adoption of the lenient Dutch policies throughout all the “Benelux” countries, an economic union of Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. A Luxembourg government spokesman said it was “ready to reconsider its policies with regard to cannabis.”
Drug advocacy group NORML said drug use is still treated as a criminal offence.
“Individual use and/or acquisition is penalized with three months to three years [in jail] and a fine,” a NORML report said, adding that the court can force blood or urine tests on suspects. “Refusal to submit to these tests carries a heavy fine and/or imprisonment.”
But the organization notes that the law on paper is stricter than what is employed by authorities. “In practice, if possession is for personal use, a warning is normally issued if the case involves a small quantity and no aggravating circumstances are present,” NORML said.
A published study of Luxembourg’s drug policies noted that “although the law does not differentiate between ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ drugs, in principle cannabis users are not charged by public prosecutors.”
In early 2001, the country’s parliament began work to officially update laws so that drug use is subject to only a fine.
Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 5
Legislation: In May 2003, new drug laws came into force. They prohibited possession of even a small amount of illicit drugs (including pot) with no intent to distribute. Possession and purchasing can theoretically result in a jail sentence of up to 2 years, but without imprisonment if the offence is judged to be a misdemeanour (smoking a joing in public). Traffickers may be sentenced for 5-8 years.
Law enforcement: you have to be thery carefull becose the cops might be listening to your call. so just calling your dealer and saying “yo, I need some weed about 2g” that’s bad so that’s why all Lithuania is calling weed -books =] its starting to be really popular and every dealer will understand. So a good way to say “hey, I wanted to ask if your had some good books or smth? I need about 2 books=] ” and if the cops are listening they won’t understand=] this is used in all Lithuania.
Where to buy marijuana: u buy it only from friends. like a friend of friend might now someone u sells. so as you some more often you start to meet people and u get closer to the main dealers. and if you not a prick you should meet the main homegrowers with labs and stuff => so they would sell for about 20lt a gram if not even less
Marijuana prices: 40LT a gram is the main price if your make it lower people will think that its poor quality and not buy.
Marijuana brands:
More information: no one really understands and are waching what are u smoking. so nobody gives a f**k. unless u make the joint smoking moves 😀 like when the filter gets hot u start to smoke short and often inhales. so best go a bit away from the streets. like a park or some nice place and have a good smoke =]
other thing never buy weed from gipsys . I know lots of stories from friends who had problems. They sell losts of weed and other drugs. so either u will get poor quality weed, get beaten up and your money, cell phone , rings and stuff will be gone. any way they usually cant be trusted. so stay away from them. but ofcourse sometimes it might be ok.
Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 2
Legislation: totally illegal
Law enforcement: quite strong, but equally corrupt.
Where to buy marijuana: main market in towncenter… yik foong mall in town… NEED locals for some good hook ups, but not everyone’s trustworthy, so weary and extra careful.
Marijuana prices: RM50-stock cube size chunk (alththough sometimes its real bad shit…depends on your stoner luck) RM100= 15 to 20g…
Marijuana brands: mostly trafficked in from indonesia/thailand… rarely homegrown
More information: its a really beautiful place to be stoned… surrounded my mountains 360 degrees in a valley… but its messed up in this country for stoners…so again be careful
Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 2
Legislation: Traffiking=DEATH
Large Quantities=DEATH
Small Amounts or Consumption=hefty prison term that may kill you before you get out….
Don’t get caught!!!!!!
and also: “Very stirct, death penalty for any weed caught if they decide to charge you under Dangerous Drugs Act Sect 39B which carried the mandatory death sentence. In some ca$e$, they may amend it to Sect 39A(2) which carries a min.of 5 years jail term + 10 times “rotan””
Law enforcement: Police are somewhat common in the city areas(don’t smoke out on the street). There are not many good spots outside so I recommend a hotel room even if you are just visiting for the day. This country does not approve of cannabis.
people generally mind their own business, so if you smoke make sure you away from crowds
Where to buy marijuana: it’s very tricky… the buds are there almost everywhere but yet for a foreigner, it’s quite difficult to engage someone who is willing to involve in anything that relates to Sect 39A or similar.
Johor Bahru (JB) is well known as a a city where most Singaporeans will splurge on the nightlife and food here, there are a few places close to town you can get it but it’s totally out of question if you look foreign.
the best bet is to get a local to hook you up, most people will know something but their are very discreet, hook up someone in bars or the best way and safe way to go is to approach the so-called parking attandant, they are homeless of usually addicts desperate to earn a few dollars working as parking ” assistant” you can find them in many streets , just lookout for them. They are cool and you can be straight fwd with them. You dun hv much choice but to ask them to lead you to it. Do not approach the dealers, tell your contacts to get it while you wait nearby or you can play safer by asking him to score a small amt firstly with a tip. Then come back for more when he had delivered the first
Marijuana prices: really depends on a lot….
heard a kilo is 3000 ringit
the prices can be very different according to who you visit.
try to get the best deal.
and also: “typically :
small bag = Rm10
small sliced “cake” abt 2g/3g = RM50
25g = RM 150
50g = RM 300″
Marijuana brands: mostly schwag type contains stems seeds etc but sometime you get lucky, you can get acheh bricks which is much less seeds/stem etc and a nice mellow effect, it’s quite strong.
If you have good contact, you may get some sensimilla, strains unknown as these dealers know nothing about strains. if you’re lucky you can score some nice high quality homegrowns, it taste and smelled like skunk/diesel strains but no way to make sure. Powerful and good but much more expensive a brick of 15gr cost you RM 300
and also: “It mostly comes from Thailand in brick. Also you can get brick from indonesia. There is no GREAT weed here, no nugs, this shit is all made in very large quantities(all traffiked shit, no home grown)”
More information: This is a cool place to get baked but they do not sell swishers anywhere. For you blunt rollers, I reccomend bringing your own. And if you dont have the nuts to ask random ppl for weed here, you might as well not come because noone is going to offer it to you.
sometimes the prices fluactuate, the dealer jacks up the price of give you a much smaller piece. they go by size not weight most of the time, so somtimes you get fucked up, it’s not the fault of the parking attendant
Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 5
Legislation: While still being frowned upon by the legislation, these are the same people who behind the scenes are controlling the trade. The local police will always have quotas to make.
Law enforcement: We were in Ocho Rios for a full week and NEVER saw one police officer. Within the resorts you will find security guards, but no actual police. If you have been smoking in less tolerant countries you will find the law enforcement very relaxed here.
Use your head (don’t blaze in the grocery while picking up more redstripe!) Hotel cleaning staff will re-stack buds and clean ashtray returning all roaches!! No b.s
Where to buy marijuana in Ochio Rios: I was approached within 5 minutes after arriving in the Jamaican airport and was asked at least six times a day while there. While on the tourist resorts (sandals/beaches/club med/etc…) many of the workers have marijuana available for purchase. Where a Bob Marley shirt if you are nervous about approaching the locals and it will act as a beacon.
another reporter added: “AS soon as you hit the pavement outside the airport the # of times offered depends on the mode of transpotation your takin to your destanation! Private taxi waiting for you pre arranged w/treats! Shuttle bus= stop at beer stand on way out to bus get bag of beer and ice! On the short walk to the shuttle bus the offers begin! 2nd tour guy on bus (not driver,the guy asking for tips who really didn’t do anything except turn the bob marley music up on the ride to your hotel) came to my hotel later in eve per my request with some top quality product!(been to jamaica 5x) Stayed at “Rooms on the beach” this last trip.Beach at hotel=take a walk to the right (early in a.m. preffered time) down to the little pier past the hotel next to ya (all inclusive tell guards going for walk they will let you through) (no problem!) Guys will be hanging on pier (getting ready to go to work) with anything you want! The “doc” is in the house!!
I was hanging outside the plazza (where jimmy buffet rest. is TOURIST TRAP) main entrance drinking a beer while wife shopped! Got to bullshitting with locals go across street and have more beer w/them at their little bar(shack) and they smoked me up and offered to hook me(quality stuff) I had plenty by then! My hotel desk had a pile of buds and a wood pipe also a letter from a guy in Min. with a note to the effect of “enjoy what i could’nt take with me”! It was shitty stuff, but its the thought that counts! To sum it up=Bartenders at hotels, taxi drivers,wait staff, locals in town, locals on beach and oh yea ganja boats. You have to go to the beach in negril to find out what those are he! he!”
Ocho Rios marijuana prices: I paid US $100 for an ounce at the airport. This was my first trip to Jamaica and as a heavy smoker I did not want to risk not finding any. Silly me. If I travel back to Jamaica I will still buy early because you get a bigger amount for less. However, if you are not a HEAVY smoker you might wait to buy a quarter bag from a local at the resorts. Feel free to haggle because they know as well as you that right around the corner is someone else willing to deal.
another repoter added: “Varies 35.00 us from shuttle guy for a plastic dollar store size bag half full delivered to front gate of hotel! 15.00 for aprox 1/2 oz from taxi guy i used that week. He was a real “Cowboy” in ochio rios!”
Brands: Unknown. It was fresh and it was killer.
More information: I was traveling to Jamaica for the first time and hoped that it would live up to my pot head dreams, and it did. If you mention Bob Marley the conversation will lead to marijuana EVERY TIME. Also, take a Bob Marley tour with one of the local taxies if you are interested in seeing some fields and cutting your own for cheap. It is a great experience. For those of you about to travel: Have a blast and remember, No problems no worries Mon.

Legislation: Marijuana is illegal in Laos, but is widely sold and used by locals and tourists.
Law enforcement: If you get caught, expect to pay a steep fine ($500). Don’t smoke in public. The locals, however, are very tolerant of smoking and many do so themselves.
Where to buy marijuana: There are a bunch of traveller cafes on the main drag, offering non stop showings of “Friends” (cant think of anything worse myself but…) and Happy Pizza (probably explains why the tourists can’t tear themselves away from Friends). Ask in the kitchen of these places selling Happy Pizza. They’ll sort you out.
Marijuana prices: Being 100% a tourist town, don’t expect to get kilos for a few bucks. Best to offer $10 and see what you get, then ask for more!
Brands: Buds – pretty good quality for outdoor grown local bush. Dont expect skunk but the stuff we bought was fresh, tasty and in good shape.
Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 3.75
Legislation: Marijuana is illegal in Laos, but is widely sold and used by locals and tourists.
Law enforcement: Minimal. The Laos government are trying (and succeeding) to turn Luang Parabang into a tourist mecca. They dont want to put people off. Be discreet though.
Where to buy Marijuana: From tuktuk drivers, cyclo taxis and on the street, there are a few guys who hang around the nackpacker hotel lanes, not far from the night market.
Marijuana prices: most will want 100,000 kip (about 10 us dollars) but you can get for 50,000 kip
Brands: Buds – pretty good quality for outdoor grown local bush. Dont expect skunk but the stuff we bought was fresh, tasty and in good shape.
and also: “everything from seedy week weed to very strong sensi with a fine fruity smell and taste … ask to see before buying … if its a huge bag with seeds …leave it alone … if you refuse to buy this you will be offered a better quality …smaller bags but much better … ask for not-seedy … you will be rewarded …”
