Law Enforcement
Police were rarely in sight, and there was talk of baksheesh if someone got caught. The men in black and black shades had a different reputation. The word people used was “crossfire.”
Where to Buy Marijuana
Local introductions sometimes came with a small payment. Rickshaw drivers often knew people. Given the hours those guys put in, the joke was that they worked “24+ hours” a day.
Marijuana Prices
৳30–300 for roughly a quarter- to a half-ounce wrapped in paper. It depended on when, where and who you were dealing with.
Types of Marijuana
Fluffy, stringy, seedy stuff. Some looked sun-dried, while other batches were greener and sparkled a bit. Two cigarette-style doobies did more than the weed’s looks suggested. You’d talk and talk and talk, then… whoa.
More Information
An old man in the middle of a rice paddy took ৳30 for about half an ounce. Down by the river, the village potheads made chillums from reeds, sticks and rocks. The rest of the afternoon went by in a paddy next to the jungle, then in the back of a pickup. Back just in time for dinner and a tropical electric storm.
