Law Enforcement
The cops love to find and stop young people who they believe to use drugs. In this area the police will never look the other way. If you have a small amount they will bust you to the full extent. But if you know the law and your constitutional rights you can get out of an incident. Never let a cop search your car. Never have large pipes or bongs in the car. If you are approached by a police officer always stay calm and don’t look suspicious. If he/she asks you if they can search your car always say “no” and tell them it’s your fourth amendment right to unreseanable searches and seizures. This should get them off your back. Because most people get busted because they don’t know anything about the law and the rights they have.
Where to buy Marijuana in Amherst New York
: Ellicot Complex, South Campus, Sweet Home appartment complex, wherever UB students live pretty much, though since I live on North campus(I’m at South Lake Village) and dont have a car I only buy at ellicot lol
Marijuana can be purchased almost anywhere in Amherst. If you are new in town you can go to the Boulevard Mall and ask some young people who look like the stoner type. Anything like tie-dye t-shirts and hippie clothing is a dead give away. You can also try the UB (University at Buffalo) college campus which is located off of Sweet Home Rd.
Also try the University at Buffalo(UB) dorms.

I even heard about some Northern Lights the other day. Of course sometimes the headies/haze doesnt have a name and then we just call it headies or haze.
More Information
If you get the munchies Niagra Falls Boulevard is filled with restaurants and places where you can go eat. People are nice and friendly and hook-ups are easy. I also recommend you download the freedom card from
http://www.norml.org/pdf_files/freedom_card.pdf it can help you if you get stopped by the cops.
Blunts are the prefered method of smoking for most UB stoners. If you promise someone you will smoke them up with a blunt, they will take you to someone who sells. Of course I am a student at UB, and I kinda look like a stoner, so someone else might have a harder time finding where to buy weed. Since I have been going to school at UB I have not found any seeds in my weed, most stuff is pretty good.
