Law Enforcement
You got all types. The laid-back guys and the guys who seem to be taking out some aggression on ya. I have heard of a few different people getting caught with small amounts, just having it confiscated; but I’ve also had a friend get searched (his vehicle) and they found a single seed.. didn’t do anything, although they were kind of snooty about it. I would have guessed if they found a gram or so, they’d definitely have given him a citation.
Where to buy marijuana:
Your best bet would be Bardstown Road or different little “artsy” liberal areas. Bardstown Road would be the only place I would feel safe asking around, however, of course, this is the USA, so be discrete; people will feel threatened if you ask too loud. There are a number of cops patrolling Bardstown Rd as well, just be careful.
Marijuana Prices
Not really sure what it’d be for visitors. If you know people, you can get some good , potent, light green stuff for $20 1/8th however, that same stuff could go for $40 elsewhere around Louisville (or even $50 1/8th’s right across the river in Indiana) so if you have the option, stay on the south side of the river if you’re looking to buy.
Marijuana Brands
I’ve seen really bad stuff, and really good stuff. Most of the stuff from Louisville, though, is decent. I don’t really hear about much exotic stuff, however I have paid $65 1/8th (and it was worth it, in my opinion) of some deep purple-orange very crystallized stuff, not sure of the name/strain or whatnot, but then again I have only seen something like that a few times. I only know a handful of people; I’m sure with the right people you could find some exotic stuff, but with the wrong people, you’ll pay a lot for brown weed.
