More Information
In Hạ Long Bay, the account saw much more of a sex trade than a weed scene, and residents were described as strongly disapproving of smoking. It compared weak flower in Hanoi with more plentiful supply in Nha Trang, and remembered fragrant leaves passed off as weed in Huế and Hội An that didn’t do a thing. Smoking, when it did happen, was kept to private rooms. Crossing borders with it was seen as especially risky. It ain’t worth it, brother.
