so you live in bham and cant find herbs>? thats messed up...seems like this town is busting at the seams with amazing bud.

no med card is tricky....lots of folks in town doing the "donate meds to another patient in exchange for a donation of $$ for the trouble"

dont ask the juggalos downtown, they sell crack meth whatever, but slim chance of getting kind herbs.

if i didnt know anyone here (and it was summertime...no kids in town) this is what i would do:
goto 1) boulevard park 2)downtown food coop 3)skate park behind civic field
look for a trustafarian chilling or busking (always one outside the coop) or walking his slackrope or throwing the frisbee.
pretty much any ol white kid with dreads and no shoes will have weed on him, prolly in a mason jar along with a pipe and some hemp wick.

"hi there, this is a bit weird but i dont know anyone in town and im looking for herbs...you look like a friendly person, I thought i would take a chance and ask"

hell if you walked up to me and said that, i would give you a big splat of bubblehash just for the good karma of it ...'course i dont have dreads, and look more like a construction worker than a hippie so you might not stop me in the park...

best of luck, and if you get your card, it will open some avenues too
