Some Newberry officers were easygoing after a stop, though locals felt it took very little to get pulled over. The local line was that even two miles per hour over could earn a ticket.
Where to Buy Marijuana
Newberry College was the place people mentioned when school was in. Blink and you might miss the campus, but its local party reputation was bigger than its size.
Marijuana Prices
The original quote was US$10 for about 30 g of hydro. The figure is unusually low and no other price in the account confirms it.
