Law Enforcement
In the city of Akron itself, it’s not too bad. I have personally been “caught” with marijuana; however, in all but one case the police seemed to have better things to do. In all reality, with the decriminalization of pot in Ohio, the worst that happens in the now crime-ridden Akron is the standard ticket and six-month DL suspension…unless you’re a di*k to the police, in which case they’ll nail you on the paper your “J” is rolled in and haul you in for the night. If you are polite and decent to the police, your chances of getting off are pretty good. Be firm, assert your right not to be searched, but be cool: I assure you they have bigger fish to fry.
Where to buy marijuana in Akron:
The Middlebury neighborhood immediately east of the University of Akron should suffice if you ask around. As a secondary option, “Lairdland” (search Google Maps for “Laird Ave.” in Akron for location) works pretty well if you need a “street deal”, but check what you get before handing the cash over and never give on “front”. If you’re white, avoid Kenmore and Elizabeth Park at all costs; otherwise, those places should be suitable.
