Arcata buy a bust, Santa Cruz a hit!

What would be better than buying in the pot capital of America, right? Wrong! I rode my hog up the PCH to Arcata to experience it myself. I stayed there for three days. The first thing I noticed was the lack of anyone hanging around the center square. I was told that the week before, the local police had made a drug sweep through the town and had arrested a lot of people. I talked to several local vendors and told them I was from Mass. and wanted to purchase some good buds and every one of them acted like I was undercover DEA! One local guy, doing some sketching out of the back of his van and a fellow vet introduced me to a local and told her I was looking to score. She invited to her house where we all smoked up on the porch with three of her friends. The pot we hit was OK but nothing to write home about. I think she invited me to get high with her because she thought I was a cop. While they promised to hook me up, at the end of day three, they didn't call, so I left for Santa Cruz. After hanging out on Pacific Avenue and having a very strange conversation with a homeless young lady who was strung way out. I finally was able to buy an eighth from an elderly mexican with whom I had a great conversation. Finally, a couple days later, the entire homeless community had gathered for a free style 60's group peace gathering, including freestyle dancing, chanting and bongo playing. You could smell the weed four blocks away! Hallelujah! I was amazed that the local pd were driving by, several times and seemed to ignore the obvious pot presence. If I couldn't score some primo tree here I couldn't score anywhere. After watching the group for a half hour and asking several people if they were selling, a young lady sat down next to me selling a variety of glass bowls. I talked with her and told her a glass bowl probably wouldn't travel well on my Harley when she pulled out a quarter ounce of some respectable buds. Several people approached her and were buying eighths at 20.00 a pop. I told her how much for the whole bag. She looked surprised but weighed it out and I walked away a happy man. As I got backed to my bike, I noticed a VERY strong odor coming from the car next to me and a polite Jamaican sitting in it. I asked if he were selling (silly question as the smell was enough to knock you over) I was able to score some very potent Jamaican Ganja. Now all I had to do was to ride three thousand miles back to Mass. Wish I had bought more!:thumb:
 
Whoever told you there was a "drug sweep" in Arcata was hosing you. No such thing took place.

Also, what has this got to do with medical marijuana? I'm kinda glad you didn't stay in Arcata. We care about our MMJ patients and have four cannabis centers and an ordinance protecting patients who grow. You're just roaring around on a Harley ripped on superbud. That's a medical procedure?

Hey Kevpod I would like to know about that ordinance protecting patients who grow because the cops here do not respect MMJ Law at all. I am RI MMJ and Licensed Caregiver for 5 other Patients and was Busted and held.
I have seen the cops lie and cheat to arrest me. They litterally told me "we do not know enough about the Law so go to prison and figure it out in Court"

Hey sleepr I realize when riding across country and travelling it is easy to forget we are the guests in communities that will be there long after we leave, sometimes never to return. I was thinking what are you lost, there are 10 zillion dispensaries, across a State that could fit all New England inside her three times over and you are asking strangers for bud in a county and town known for MMJ the world over. I am licensed Patient and Caregiver in RI and have had people from CO ask me where to buy and I inform them that the dispensary will sell to you because of reciprocity in the Law once opened. The ones who know I am MMJ never ask as they realize what they are asking of me and that I won't and can't risk my children, freedom, family, property, and hard work to put the whole thing together growing. You should have more compassion and take a different tact with this. Maybe get an apartment, become friends with people in the community you are in, obtain a license,( get Card) and buy in the Farmacy of your choice sampling many different strains legally.
This way you (the outsider) are not endangering anyone, their operations or business.
Peace Brother and hope you have a sfe and steady ride down I-90.:goodluck:
 
Arcata is not real big on outsiders, while on the other end of the spectrum, Santa Cruz has a freaking boardwalk amusement park and runs TV adds trying to attract tourism.

Were you driving a white crown vic, sporting a new crew cut, wearing a floral shirt with bermuda shorts, hiding behind aviator glasses and talking with an accent from any where east of Reno by chance?

BTW whered you get the notion that Arcata was the center of the pot world? way too much fog and salty air/water...
