Law Enforcement
People claimed you could get away with almost anything for US$5–6. I wouldn’t count on paying off the police.
Where to Buy Marijuana
Heera Mandi was the place for weed papard. Sellers also sat outside Panorama Center on Mall Road. It cost about US$0.33 apiece.
In Jallo Park, weed grew freely and there was more than I’d go looking for. People said the mali, or gardener, might give you a kilo for US$2. Hash was more abundant, from shitty to awesome. Hip locals in their late teens or twenties often knew where to look.
Marijuana Prices
US$6 for a “rod,” about five grams on a stick, for good buds. Hash was quoted at US$7–60 for a shatank of about 50 grams.
Types of Marijuana
Mostly indica. No hydro, but really good kush, and the hash was worth trying.
