Peabody

Law Enforcement

Cruisers tended to stick to main streets and schools. Around Ward 6 in wealthier West Peabody, an encounter was thought more likely to end in arrest. In the central and south parts, some people were told to get rid of it or put it away and move on. School lots were said to get hourly patrols starting at 8 p.m., and there had been occasional stings. The quieter central and south side streets saw less attention, especially if nobody was hanging around late. Massachusetts has since introduced regulated adult use, as covered in Marijuana Laws.

Where to Buy Marijuana

Washington Street had a punk and goth crowd. The Boston Street McDonald’s and nearby streets were associated with dealings in and around the lot, though the area was considered riskier at night. The park at Peer Point and the Vets on Veterans Drive behind the old Brown School came up, along with Portuguese neighborhoods on the south side.

West Peabody had a reputation for better flower, but getting a good price often took an introduction through an adult who already knew the seller. Some delivered even a gram if it was worth their time, at a place chosen by the buyer and on the seller’s schedule. People also struck up conversations on the T.

Marijuana Prices

Ounces ran from US$100 to US$400, with big differences between strains and sellers.

Types of Marijuana

Schwag, KB Killas, Cali Killas, Purps, headies, Haze, dro, White Rhino, Jack Herer, Sour Diesel, Sour Jack, Maui Wowie and mids. The range was wide if you knew people.

More Information

People remembered the path to the big rock in the woods by the skate park, the railway tracks, the Meadows golf course after dark and the Vets. The tracks could draw people sleeping rough, while the Vets felt more indifferent. Appearances didn’t tell you much about who smoked. A seller who knew you were new to the scene was more likely to short you.
