A local distinguished between the Policía Local, who seemed relatively relaxed, and the Policía Nacional, who had a much rougher reputation. People worried about corruption and kept their business quiet.
Where to Buy Marijuana
The steps from the upper town to the beach had benches where people smoked in the afternoon and evening. A conversation about chocolate led to good polm and outdoor flower, and then to a shared smoke. One beach-promenade seller offered what looked like hash stretched with henna and asked a ridiculous price.
