China

First off, pot is not an extremely common thing to be found, especially in major cities. In a few provinces here you can actually go out along the streets and pick it. It grows wild. A lot of people there pick it and sell it in cities, where I had the chance to buy it when traveling. A big chunk of what the Chinese called "hash" was just compressed straight-up leafy weed! I did find a little gray hash in Shanghai that actually knocked my socks off using a waterfall bong.

The problem with buying it while traveling is security. You really have to watch out. You get caught with weed here and you are FUCKED. I heard that there are around forty-five foreigners in jail here, most of it because of weed, and most are Canadians who were busted with weed.

We celebrated the first night of getting weed in China by setting up a gravity bong at our hostel, using a jug and orange juice, and sufficiently managed to blaze the fuck out of some Americans, but the Americans ended up backing out while me and my buddy took big hoots. Needless to say it was a huge hit! We found some pretty snazzy little pipes here, some that are the smallest little brass water pipes you've ever seen, made for tobacco, with a built in lighter!

One time after we bought some pot, we were being hustled out the door from the ladies we just bought from, and they offered to sell us some opium. We of course, politely declined, and as we left, clutching our green stinky prize, they repeatedly kept sticking their fingers to their lips and going "Shhh, shhh!!!" as no 60 year old woman wants to go to jail for selling drugs.

When we looked closely at our purchase, we could see all the seeds and defects of the weed. There sure wasn't a lot of crystal on it, but it did get us sufficiently stoned.

Best smoking experience here was on a train. I took a risk and me and some British dude smoked up between cars. We were lucky no cops were aboard, but it was late at night. We offered some Chinese dude some and he ended up smoking with us ?�? and then stealing my stash when I went to the washroom!

Since then I've found a bit of weed in my city. Last week I bought half an ounce for 400 RMB, which is about $65 Canadian. Sadly, I didn't get to view it beforehand and it turned out to be oregano and some green shit.

Two months until I come home and I just can't wait to get some BC bud in me again, especially after the mediocre stuff here.
