Easy does it Tiger! Touched a nerve have we?????

I am an Ex weed smoker Myself...... also ex cocaine user, ex amphetamine user and recovering Alcoholic..... 30 years in all, so there is Naff all you can tell me about Drugs/ the law/ the dangers etc.......

we were trying to give you some ADVICE, that is all..... and some of us, myself included like a little leg pull at the same time. If that offends your sensitive nature ..well tough!

As you say, there are plenty of places online where you can find out about it...cannabis dot com is one. Im sure you can find others that cater for your need.

One of the posters..... I shall not point the finger at whom, is, i believe, a serving, or an ex Copper....... so...... maybe you can understand their reluctance to 'help' you in your quest.

I still stand by my post mate..... Toke if you must, but be aware that we as visitors are an easy target. I for one was only concerned for your welfare not trying to put the 'frighteners' on you.

and if you must know prices........ about a fifth of what you originally said. im probably gonna get a now!

or at least some flak from others!

Edit: did you know it also grows WILD in those countries?

Martyn

Thanks Martyn. Extremely cheap then! I didn't know it grew wild there. What I do know is that Sativa is the prevailing species, and that it can be much stringer than we are used to in Europe. Which areas have you 'visited'?

No offence taken, I know you just wanted me to be safe. I'm not as stupid as I might sound; I know there will be scams out there, and that as a white man I should expect to pay for any mistakes I make. I am not planning to buy anything from the first man I meet on the street outside a Lonely Planet hotel!

I havent been to Morroco, just Tunisia......and that was yeeeeeeeeeeeeeears ago!
If your going to Morroco beware of the 'Kif' Mountains... I mean 'Rif' Mountains.. you will be hassled to death there to buy. and yes its cheapy cheapy cheap cheap.......
Morroco is the MAIN Hash producer for the whole of EUROPE Dude!

So.. its available........ and Morroco is the Top of Africa.... and Africa is a HUGE country. and it does indeed grow wild........ Google it.

EDIT: "wild" means the odd plant here and there......... if it looks like it is someones plantation or cultivated.... for the sake of your Kneecaps or Throat its probably better not to harvest any....

Martyn

Evening All.....

Lets all calm down a bit.... I respect YOUR right to free speech and free association, I just don't feel this is the place to discuss the likely cost of illegal substances in your travels throughout the "Dark Continent". I also care as much about YOUR safety as any other persons.

I reckon Martyn's got it about right with his advice. He's obviously a man of great wisdom...

I wish you well in your travels...

Thats about the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me on here!

lets hope Cammy reads this!

I don't want to give the impression I always take the moral high ground either... I know how to enjoy myself and I can be a prat too at times...

This forum is fast becoming a habit.... perhaps we should book in to rehab Martyn!

Im sure you can Neil, ( oooooooh! Bites his tongue......... cos he can be a propper sarky begger sometimes can Martyn.....)

Dunno about the rehab! Did Pegasus in MIlton Keynes once and only the Once....... never again.
I decided there and then i was doin it myself. Funny thing was, I was at Rehab for a drug dependancy that I didnt want or ask for!
Bike accident( Bust Pelvis) and 5 Months on 'Oromorph' left me with a Morphine Dependancy and the Dr said I had to go there to be 'weaned' off.
I turned up, looked at the people exchanging needles and jacking up outside and said " oh dear, I don't think this is quite my scene......." or words to that effect.
What I can say on the subject of withdrawl is this. I fully understand why addicts stay on the stuff. I had 4 Days of sheer hell and months of craving, even now I cant take any Morphine based Painkillers.

I was Lucky, I had the guts and determination to do it alone, it wasn't easy, giving up Weed was even Harder ( its a Social thing ya see...), the Coke was easier and so was the Amphetamines........ The hardest thing to Kick? Even Harder than the Booze?

Tobacco! That nearly killed me!

Martyn

this is probably one of the funniest and most controversial topic's i have seen yet. panderingpeter, i wish u good luck on your search for electric lettuce.

some may say this is not the place to discuss such matters, and i will not agree or disagree either way, but pot smoking is about freedom of choice, and last time i checked, motorcyclists preach the free lifestyle.

i'm sure everyone on this website is GUILTY of speeding, and more people die from that every year than smoking pot. In Canada the fine is even bigger for speeding than for personal possesion.

i know u are probabaly a good and honest citizen who contributes to society and holds doors open for old lady's at the bank and would never drive/ride under the influence.

my experience in asia/south america is that the substance in which you want to obtain is always so much cheaper than here that you wont have to worry about. get the feel for the locals first and make sure that they are not cops. if you frequent place's that travelers do, there will be somebody trustworthy there to point you in the right direction, because they of course want to keep the toursist's happy, and out of jail.
my view is dual sided so please everyone, dont bash my opinion to hard! haha

and as rastafarian Ben Harper said " if you dont like my smoke than dont come around, because i'm going to burn one down"

Go East young peter to the Stans...it grows wild there...

And I agree with Peter...whether you choose to enjoy Corvoisier, cannabis, Chateau LaFite, or a Speckled Hen...you shouldn't be judged so quickly...

here here on the anti over-zealous judgement, choice is key!
I didn't try and buy any weed while away on my bike, but got given some by a cop in Kazakhstan (so I guess it does grom in the 'stans!).

My advice would be just don't care about it, even a hardened british pot-head will not feel the need for any extra stimulation whilst on 2 wheels. When it comes to taking a break let it find you, don't go looking for it......

Ignore the republican/neo-conservative element but be wise and stay safe, be aware of the different cultural/legal implications and act accordingly.
