What's up all. I was just reminiscing about the trip I took to the island of San Miguel, Azores, Portugal(my ancestral homeland) last year and thought I might post my story(in case you don't know, ALL drugs in personal use quantities are decriminalized in Portugal, just to give you an idea of my incredibly low stress level during the situation, and to imply how proud I am to be Portuguese.) Sooo, we stayed at my aunts house in Povacao, but ended up staying in a hotel in Ponta Delgada(the capitol city of the island) for a few nights during our 2 week stay, at which point the bud I had brought in my shampoo bottle had run out. So the first or second night in the city, I decided to do a little searching, and I got incredibly lucky. As soon as I walked around the corner from our hotel, I saw an average looking Portuguese kid(20 year old white kid) and a black kid with dreads, and I'm thinking, 'these kids have GOT to smoke weed.' So I say(in Portuguese,) 'excuse me, do you know where I might be able to find some weed?' The kid with dreads says(in English after asking if I speak it because my accent was so telling,) 'we can't get any to sell but we'll smoke some with you.' They started walking with me in the opposite direction(the direction I was walking from the start) and we went to the reeaally old military fort(currently a museum) where all the kids hang out to smoke weed at night. After bsing in English a bit to make sure I wasn't a narc, he says something like, 'oh actually you can buy some, we don't have buds though, only some Moroccan hash. 15 Euro's per gram.' So I handed it over, he walked up to one of the many groups of kids hanging out in front of the fort, and comes back with a pretty nice sized rectangle of hash. I broke it up, rolled a hash spliff big enough for 4 other people, bullshitted a bit more about where I came from, what part of the island my dad was born in, the weed situation on the islands, etc. I went back to my hotel room with enough fine Moroccan hash to last me the remaining six days of my trip. I had the vacation of my life, and it was the most interesting,(not to mention stress free) situations I've ever had when scoring buds. Just thought I would share the story in the hopes it might entertain and/or inform some of you. If you have ever had a weed experience(or any experience for that matter) in Portugal, especially the Azores, let me know. Questions and comments are welcome!
It's always nice to find some good shit on vacation. I love the adventures that can happen while finding it too (as long as they don't get too sketch haha!) I am glad you enjoyed your vacation. I would love to go back to Portugal, I loved it!

It was an awesome experience on an awesome vacation in a beautiful place( my dad was pissed on his honeymoon in Hawaii, he said, 'what the hell, I grew up in a place that looked JUST like this.')
