Law Enforcement
The accounts tell different stories. Some people feared confiscation and rough treatment. Others thought police mainly pursued heroin and rarely took somebody in over a little weed. Possession was described as an administrative offence before 2003, with tougher rules afterwards. A public smoke or a bigger bag could draw trouble.
Where to Buy Marijuana
A slow conversation worked better than asking outright. “Have you ever been to Amsterdam?” might lead to a chat about coffeeshops. University bars, skaters around the Opera House and the little park opposite were possible leads. A trusted friend mattered, since an attractive-looking bag from a stranger could still be weak or a rip-off.
Marijuana Prices
- Ordinary flower: 30–40 litai for 1 g, given as about US$10–13 at the time.
- Another quote put good flower at 25–30 litai for a nominal gram, which might weigh only 0.75 g.
- Hash: 30–45 litai for 1 g when available, usually light brown.
Types of Marijuana
Mostly ordinary homegrown or weak green. Strong flower from Kaunas and genuine White Widow did turn up. Hash was rare enough that the news travelled fast.
