Law Enforcement
Possession could mean a fine. Whether it got that far sometimes seemed to depend on how busy the officer was, or what sort of mood they were in.
Where to Buy Marijuana
Tampere was small enough that an open street deal was almost unheard of. Tammerfest and other summer events were livelier. In warm weather, park conversations sometimes led to people who grew their own. Homegrowers went out at night too, and kept sales private.
