anyone been to san francisco?

next summer me and my friends are planning on going on a vacation together for the first time just us. i was wondering if san francisco is worth going to. (we live in new york). is it similar to new york city or is it a lot different. i was wondering if any of you have been and what did you think of it? was it fun?? or should we try somwhere else (we're also thinking mexico-i've been there before). i would def. like to see the golden gate bridge and haight ashbury area. also this might sound stupid, but there are beaches around SF right? i heard that the wharf was a cool place to visit also. we are 19, so we wont be able to legally buy beer or get into any clubs, but i think fake I.D.s might work at some places/bars and even like gas stations to buy some beer lol. does anyone know if it would be easy to find some buds to buy in that area (safel..or as safe as possible lol) any tips on SF?

I live near the city. yes, there are beaches in san francisco. Ocean Beach is worth checking out. It's nice to get a few joints and take them up to Ocean Beach. The beach has sand dunes, where you can smoke in seclusion. Stay away from Fisherman's Wharf though--that's just a tourist trap, something you can see in every town!

I don't expect you will find San Francisco to be much like New York. SF is more of a small town atmosphere. Getting some bud should'nt even be a problem--i'm pretty sure the cops don't give a fuck in San Francisco.. Just walk down Haight Street, and you'll be asked by like 5 or 6 people if you want to buy some pot. Make sure you see the weed before you cough up the dough--i've been ripped off on the Haight. Or you can walk through Golden Gate Park (where haight ends) and people will say things like "green buds" or "bubble bubble" or "you got any nuggets?" yeah, they're all referring to pot. again, make sure you see the product before you give the money. you should get an 8th for about 50 for good shit. 20 dollars will get you 1 gram of good shit. haight is probably the best place to get weed because well... so many people smoke weed on the haight :)

dont even trip about buying your buds because nobody gives a shit in the city. just don't flaunt it. i've gotten away with smoking joints with friends while walking downtown in the financial district in a huge crowd of people. the cops just have bigger fish to fry, if you know what i mean :)

I recommend you check out the presidio area--near the golden gate bridge. after you smoke up, go down to the fort under the bridge. it's really fun and beautiful, and especially surreal. Also, downtown is fun for it's big-city atmosphere. there are some good restaurants in the castro district. Twin Peaks is worth checking out at night time also--it's truly beautiful.

it's fairly easy to get to haight street. from market street, get on the 71 bus and it will take you right there. enjoy your time in the city :)

thanks man that helped alotttt :)
now i just gotta convince my friends to go to SF next summer rather then LA
i jsut dont want them to think it sucks when we get there and blame it all on me lol. we would prob be staying anywhere from 5-7 nights. will we run outta fun things to do? how long would you recommend staying there

if ya go to mexico, and go to the right places, you dont need an ID to get beer and then you can buy lil pipes and bongs, like at Puerto Neuvo and at La Bufadora they have shit loads of pipes for $5-10

ive been to san fransisco very nice city check out the piers and shit i went in december so it was way to cold for the beaches but fun overall

You should definitely stop by and check out SF. Best damn city in the world. Ok, thats a little biased seeing as I live in the area, but honestly, it is a great city, and you will not be disappointed. Haight & Ashbury are easy places to find great bud, but be careful because people will be trying from square one to rip you off. It's a buyers market, so if some guy won't be reasonable, just walk away and find someone else. There isn't anything he can do to you, and it may just convince him to make a deal.

Golden Gate park is beautiful, as is the Golden Gate itself. Walk through downtown at night, the skyscrapers lit up and the Bay Bridge are gorgeous. Also, if you have a chance, swing through Oakland and go into the hills at night, excellent views of the entire Bay Area lit up before you.

i lived in Manhattan for a while. I live in San Francisco. You wont find me east of the Rockies , again.
Let me know when you get here. I am just blocks from the, Haight. SF is nothing like nyc. Sf is beautiful. We have beaches, but big waves, cold water, and some of the strongest water currents on earth. Seals, Otters, Great Whites, are everywhere.

If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there

For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair

All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion people in motion

For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there

If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there[/hippie]
