Police rarely seemed to hassle smokers around Dundas. King Street felt quiet enough that a joint might barely draw a glance. That was the joke, anyway.
Where to Buy Marijuana
Without some kind of hookup, Dundas could be tough. Getting talking with younger locals sometimes led to someone who knew the scene.
Marijuana Prices
An eighth could run C$35 one week and C$20 the next. It was all up to the weedman.
