Law Enforcement
We used to worry about police listening to calls, so weed was going by “books” around Kaunas. “Got any good books? I need about two” meant two grams. As far as I could tell, the slang was catching on across Lithuania.
Where to Buy Marijuana
You mostly bought through friends. Once you’d been around long enough, a friend of a friend could lead you to a bigger dealer or to homegrowers with their own setups.
Get to know them and you might pay 20 litas a gram or less.
Marijuana Prices
Forty litas a gram was the usual price. Ask too little and people figured the weed must be poor quality.

More Information
Most people didn’t seem to give a f**k what you were smoking. The obvious giveaway was the little quick puffs when the filter got hot. I preferred getting away from the street and finding a quiet spot in a park.
Friends told me about street deals that ended in bad weed or a beating, with money, phones and rings taken. I stuck to people I knew.
