Law Enforcement
There was talk of baksheesh and of officers watching foreigners making deals. The number people threw around was “10%” convicted, with no basis given for the estimate.
Where to Buy Marijuana
Bhang was all that turned up. Some vendors sold it on the bridges over the Ganga. People spoke of it as legal, though the account gives no details about the rules.
Marijuana Prices
About ₹20 for a few grams. Seriously low quality, and there wasn’t much else.
