Where to Buy
This is really a place where you have to know somebody (I’m sorry). You’ll never see anyone smoking on the street. Maybe a cool bartender can help but you better visit a few times before risking it.

More Info
Smoking is widespread but very discrete. If you are here for a couple days forget it. If you’re here for a week or two or more then you might get lucky meeting people at some bars downtown or better clubs. Careful of undercover cops at clubs.
