Law Enforcement
The police in Amherst are a-holes. But you’re not gonna get busted unless year blaze near them or near any preppy looking adults of “higher society”. A lot of the rents blaze too; it is a hippyish town. At night, you can really blaze anywhere but stay out big parking lots. You could always go into leverett (10min away in the boonies and blaze on a mountain). Oh, and watch out for Officer Foster in the red pick-up truck.

There are lots of places to buy bud in amherst. Rao’s coffee is a local hangout fpr dealers and stoners. Ask any one of the teenagers there or any one who looks like they smoke your bound to find somethere. There are 2 collages and a university there so there lots of collage bud. Hampshire collage is filled with drugs, mainly bud. 1 out of every 5 people smoke, so you will deffinitly find some. Its not near the center of town but you can take a free bus ride. You can sometimes find bud in the boulders and southpoint apartment complex’s, there problem there is you need a connection to the dealers because some people will sell you dirt or just take the money and run. if they ask you for the money and say they will pick it up for you, make up some excuse like you lost your money because they WILL ROBB YOU. otherwise amherst is a good place to buy bud.
