Personally....no matter how desperate I was....I would NEVER ask a stranger if they had bud. There are too many 1) cops, 2) shady motherfuckers.

Call me paranoid...........but I think that would probably be the WORST advice you could give someone.

Personally, I would say: grow. or travel back to the land of Ohio and pick up a large amount to tide you over until you get on your feet in this new place.
