Law Enforcement
Police attitudes varied across the Blackstone Valley. Most towns felt quieter than downtown Northbridge, where officers had a reputation for paying close attention. Smoking within sight of a street could draw notice.
Where to Buy Marijuana
D Street and Overlook Street in Northbridge came up, especially the village for cheaper weed. Douglas and Smithfield, Rhode Island, roughly 15 minutes away in the account, were mentioned for better flower. The stickiest of the icky was the reputation.
Marijuana Prices
- About US$10 per gram for ordinary skunk
- US$5 for dirt weed, weight unspecified
- Around US$20 per gram for scarce Haze
Types of Marijuana
Mostly skunk and lower mids, with rare Haze and occasional Rhode Island homegrown kind bud. High-grade mids and headies from Boston were still unusual but showed up more often.
More Information
The valley is quiet, and knowing people mattered. Town squares and streets with a visible police presence were where smokers most often kept it discreet.
