I will be in London for about 12 days to see some great music, Camel,Hackett and Hawkwind all in a weeks time Just wonering if it is easy or impossible to score some smoke while I am there?? PLEASE HELP, any bit of help is greatly appreciated
I'd say that hanging around Camden market or in Tottenham, you should find.... But I can't garantee the quality...
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
I don't have any answers of course, but I'd think I'd be extremely cautious in a foreign country trying to buy . Unless I knew people I trusted there I'd just abstain and not take a chance.
Thanks alot for the advice, there has to be a place somewhere though that is relatively safe?? Nothing is totally cool and safe just was hoping for some input. Any other ideas would be wonderful, thank you.....
Very valid points (I would abstain myself as well, unless you're in the Netherlands >> coffee shops are legal)), but.....
I was more thinking of hanging around and let the people/dealers come up to you, instead you asking around...
You get those people in all the cities, hence my comment about the quality of the stuff sold.
It can be dangerous still , though (don't let them drag you away from the crowd, if you do).

Very good point Trane. Let them do the selling and only have a small amount of money on me at the time and check the product out closely before buyinng. Nothing is 100% a sure thing!

WHERE@@!!
Oh great, now people are asking where to buy drugs on PE? Pot is still illegal in London, right? What's next, looking for an escort too? Isn't the off-topic section still supposed to be about music? Kind of pathetic.
If you're flying, which unless you are cruising 'cross the pond, get a connecting flight through Amsterdam with a few hours layover.

Go to the shows, follow your nose. Stand around and be very social and nice. People will offer and you don't even have to spend a dime or do anything risky. If a group of people share with you, be a good chap and buy them all a pint. Of course if this isn't already obvious to you, I would say enjoy your time at these shows sober. You will likely not have the sense to keep from getting busted.

Try not to do this :
Also DO NOT go anywhere near Tottenham. Or especially Edmonton, which is north of Tottenham in the same way the 4th circle of hell is north of the 3rd.
Don't know anything about Tottenham but I'd trust the good British advice here & don't get curious.
Kay & I found Camden Town during the day to be fine (safe). We went shopping there (bargains galore) & had a great lunch at a pub. It seemed a bit like parts of NYC's Greenwich Village (mostly East ). I didn't try to score in London at all, but only because a friend in the north of England had unexpectedly led me to some the previous week.

Tottenham is a very coloured part of London (northern suburbs), where the English natives are a minority... you'll find pakistanis, jamaîcans and others from all over the place... the place is not really cool (in France, they call it Londonistan) and that's where the race riots happened last year... But no doubt the black crowd will have good high-quality smokeables, but I wouldn't advise going there without someone that knows the place a bit.
camden was the hippy-punk place and is where the rock paraphenelia markets concentrate... Safe during the day (suspect night is OK, because it's still very central London)... not sure you'll find good quality there, though. Peter's advice is probably sounder than mine. So don't ask around there, let them come to you (a cop can't propose: it's illegal)
UYou may venture into the rare record store still open in Soho and discreetly ask around at the desk, explaining your plight >> that's probably safest, if you've been a good client.. Jupiter's advice sounds good too.

Peter G what I find outrageous is that you find this to be and outrageous request. For crying out loud man it is only weed, lol. Not like I am searching for Heroin or coke or acid or some pills. Lighten up you straight lace.
Personal preference aside, he seems to have given some very good advice.
There's always a risk in seeking in any public place. I would simply look for opportunities to be offered, like at a show, and see what develops.
I actually tend to use family trips as an opportunity to dry out. But, like my buddy just told me a couple of days ago, "I'll dry out when I die."
Wow, Hackett, Camel and Hawkwind all in one week?? Holy smoke! (pun unintended)
Find a shop that sells hydroponic growing supplies.
