Law Enforcement
Police were around, but there hadn’t been an aggressive encounter in the two-week stay described. They seemed inclined to look away unless the smoke was made obvious.
Where to Buy Marijuana
The little parks in the centre were where people hung out. A word like porro or chocolate went further than English. At eight nobody was around; closer to eleven or midnight the friendly crowd turned up. The first conversation paid off. No street pushers were in sight, and the Moroccan hash was a pleasant surprise.
Marijuana Prices

Types of Marijuana
Soft, bubbling hash: light pollen, darker chocolate and almost black Ice-o-lator. Flower was thought to be around through home growers, though only hash turned up in this account.
