Finally some good sized buds from the prague happy guys

well finally the Prague happy shop guys have some weed in stock and I have to say it was worth the wait.

1 gram buds twice the fucking size of a fifty crown piece. Impressive. Guess I can finally start to do that baking I keep promising I will do.

preparing for cannafest

One of the highlights of my year is always the Cannafest exhibition. Its that time of year when the streets get swamped with my kind of people, the couchsurfing requests get more interesting, and the town generally becomes well, more like what I'd like to see :)

Well, it is just around the corner, starting on the 7th of November. hopefully all the busts on the grow shops wont create any problems for the organizers.

Look forward to seeing everyone there!

Today I learned.....

So it was a slow day for me, and with my current cold keeping me under the weather, I signed up for a reddit account.

Whilst finding my feet I learned a few interesting things.

For instance did you know that the name Marijuana was intended to be a racial slur for cannabis, to discourage white people using the drug back in the 1900s?

Check out this article which, at 1am, I really dont want to spend a load of time paraphrasing.

Thank you *STUPID* italian tourists! Alternativ bar gets raided due to big mouths

So word from the street is that this week the Alternativ bar (Karlova 145) which is a popular underground place due to Italians openly discussing where they could buy weed in prague on open forums, even going as far as to name the barman who was offering it.

So, as a consequence, Alternativ has been raided several times and is another place off the list for a peaceful smoke right now.

From a country that is famous for the expression 'shutta your mouth' you guys sure know how to wag your tongues.

Thanks guys!

WARNING- Czech police doing the rounds of the 'famous' bars with drug searches

So....word from the street is the police have been targeting some bars, specifically Chappeau Rouge, Roxy, the Reggae bar and the 5 story club.

As seen to the right just last night someone was busted in Chappeau Rouge when buying cocaine and Marajuana.

The person who sent me this addition to my collection of fines said it was literally seconds after he walked out the toilet that he was pinned to the wall by an undercover policeman and searched. He said the gentleman of African decent who sold him the stuff glided past him.....funny that.

Watch out who you are buying from. I've warned you before!

Comparing the berlin and prague smoking scene

I've been abent this week due to a nice trip up to Berlin to come and see the Venus festival. During my stay here I have been talking to some friends and comparing notes on the Berlin smoking VS the Prague smoking scene, with some surprising answers!

Firstly it seems that Berlin gets a webehigh rating of 4, same as Prague. Which is interesting as Prague is often lauded as the 'Amsterdam of the East' but Berlin rarely gets a mention. So how do they really compare?

Both cities have remarkably similar events; whilst Berlin has the 'Henfparade or Marijuana March, Czech of course has the Cannafest and other liberalization movements going on in parallel.

From a possession point of view; even 15 grams here seems to be tolerated, 5 more than we are allowed to have before getting hauled in. But really who can smoke a 10 bag anyway.....15 is just greedy :)
