Hey India. What's happenin'......

Hmm I dont quite dig the name change myself. Out here a lot of us use Bombay in daily spoken use.

Bombay Charas sux btw :p Manali stuff is where it gets good :D Me, I prefer weed to hash tho.

So Darco, please tell us - what do the other people you consume weed with think of your vapouriser and vapoursation? And with ancient traditions of using the good herb in India among some groups, it'd be interesting to see how they would take to vapourisation.

Well, yeah, I know he's from India. But as to whether or not he belongs to a long tradition of weed/hash users (like certain Shaivite sadhus) has yet to be established.

I'm from India too, real close to Mumbai.. lived there all my life, been studying in Canada for the last 3 years though :) heading back home in 5 days actually :ko: got a new MFLB to take back with me, was gonna buy another DBV but it'll be too much of a hassle transporting that over international flights

Well I dont know of anyone other than me who has any idea about vaporization. Most of my friends who smoke up, prefer to smoke up even after trying my vape. Largely its due to the fact that I use an HA and most friends have coughed their heads off when they tried it.

Honestly from the number of pot smokers I know, I expected a much larger bunch of Indians here.

Now off to find a better vape so that I can convert a few smokers around me :)

Dont forget to get all the accessories you may need for your vapes, shipping to India from the US / EU costs a bomb.

Haha! no! I'm not a Shaivite Sadhu.

Although a close friend who's been known to do some Pot or Charas or Hash almost everyday for a few years did take a drag on something a Sadhu was smoking.

Apparently one drag was enough to send him into a really really bad high, where he feared for his life and started throwing up. It took him almost two days to recover properly.

One drag.

Lol that sadhu must have some cool sources! I have smoked with sadhus quite a few times, for a few years they have been my main source to get hash. They had awesome Manali at times, ugly bombay black some times. I prefer weed now though.

^ when I was younger (about 11-12 years ago now) and I travelled around your wonderful country I smoked with sadhus several times. Or perhaps more appropriately I think in reality they would put up with me smoking with them if I paid for some charas for us both to smoke. We'd each got an experience out of it, so I didn't mind. I think some were quite comfortable with this type of tourist industry and adept at generating some kind of reward, and there was one who kept back quite a lot of my change after sending a boy to buy low grade supplies from the government ganja shop in Varanasi/Benares (he actually wanted to get high grade charas, I just wanted gentler grass that day). I just let it ride at the time thinking 'yeah, right, HOLY man'. However they still seemed to be legitimate in the eyes of the locals. And looking back now I don't think I can judge or begrudge a little small time grifting of tourists.

Another time in Nepal these two chilled out sadhus who stayed in the temple were run out of the village apparently for practising 'black magic'. Yet they seemed sound, chilled characters to me and were happy to share their own charas with me on several occasions. But young and ignorant, what did I know? Looking back, I now wonder what the villagers thought of me befriending these guys..... glad I didn't actually see them driven out though.....

And another time on the train there were police searching some tourists bags. I had been talking with a sadhu who offered to carry my charas because he wouldn't get searched. How cool was that!

I do miss India and will be returning.......

Datura seeds! A datura mugging. Old trick cant imagine a genuine Sadhu holy man doing this but certainly pretend ones. Seen this many times slip a datura seed on top of a chillum then give it to you to light and bammo you cant move for hours. You can see hear speak but cant move or do anything as they go through your pockets and bag. Not had this happen to me but met people that it has and it sounds pretty unleasant. Shit happens be carefull out there!

Hehe, no I didn't think so. :D And I wonder how many would have ready access to the net, or choose to use it even if they did. Though in Cambodia in 2007 I saw a number of Buddhist monks in internet cafes. They would often be granted an hour a week each by the owners. Mind you, theirs is quite a different tradition, obviously.

gold all in my chains...dont believe me just watch
well my family is from india...i was born in toronto and basically raised in detroit shortly after i was born (university in soCal).

mom is from matunga, cousins in chembur & mulund. bombay is huge - when i stayed there last time, i took the train by myself (i dont speak/understand hindi) to victoria terminus & started walking around. i was told that the mosque there was a great spot to score ganja/charas...i didnt feel comfortable asking anyone there when i checked it out. i ended up finding a taxi driver who was a malayali (my dads from kerala) who hooked me up with like 6 balls of hash for 150rs i believe (you gotta haggle)...it was so funny...he went to find his buddy who knew english, so he could translate my english to/from malayalam...we went to a small hotel (a type of restaurant in india), i bought them chiaya (i dont drink it/coffee), the cabbie ran & got it & brought it back to the cafe. then i paid the bill, tipped the busboy, & gave them a 150Rs extra & parted ways. about 30sec later, the cabbie came back & wanted to smoke a puff with me so he led me down some alleys & we smoked a chillum with hash/tobacco mixed up. that was the only time i was nervous during the whole thing when we were smoking in the alley.

then, just after all of that, i was walking around that neighborhood & EVERYONE was asking me "coffeeshop?" over in that neighborhood...i dont know what the name of that little neighborhood was...

ive scored ganja in bombay, bangalore, & a small small village in the himalayas called pawalli or ghuttu...it truly wasnt a village but more like a spot that the herders camped to let their cattle graze during the accessible portion of the year up there. took a great long hike all the way up to kedarnath. ive also scored ganja in pune. i scored hash in rishikesh, bombay, goa, and the kerala/tamil nadu border.

i pretty much tried to get it everywhere i possibly could to see how people partied over there & get myself into little independent adventures (cuz im mostly doing family stuff). its SO fun to smoke in india. i never smoked cigs before, but i got a few packs of bidis over there. its a great way to start a conversation & talk to people over there. offering cigarettes is probably more preferred by them but i have a lifelong grudge against cigarettes so only stuck to bidis.

i usually hang out with my cousins, but only one of them has smoked with me like 6 or so times and a few of his friends a few times. otherwise im the only ganja smoker in their group of friends. they are more drinkers/cig smokers.

my dad is from the tiniest village on the edge of kerala. everybody knows everybody over there so im kind of a character when we do visit. but some fucking AWESOME times over there borrowing my cousins bicycle, peddling into the middle of nowhere in some fields in kerala (theres so few roads that its not too hard to remember directions - so id just go anywhere), and when i did get lost a few times, id just ask how to get to a particular village name & everyone knows the surrounding villages (harder to find someone who knows english in backwoods-kerala). but most villagers are helpful. i could always say my family name & theyd probably know where to send me (my grandfather was one of the first doctors in that small little place), but i didnt want people to know who i was cuz stories travel & then they pay more attention to you & stuff...

if any of you desis are familiar with kerala, my family is close to malamphuza dam (if that tells you anything about the scenery in those surrounding villages).

one time i just biked out to some really isolated place, where the village culture was noticeably different...just a whole different vibe all around. i found a place to smoke & just watched the farmers work the field & the cows graze, the rice paddies...just one of the best times in my life. i would SO grow in my dads hood.

one summer when i went there i actually brought a very little bit (like 3 spliffs) of regular weed from usa really really carefully. it was my first & only time & i got away with it. but the few people i smoked a spliff with over there got BLAZED off of it. so i believe that unless you are up north or in a really college-y place, its hard to get good ganja in the central-west india & south india...i havent ventured too far east india...thats a goal of mine. south is a GREAT place to grow it though...well i guess anywhere pretty much is...

i love talking india & i love talking ganja so thats why this is so long sorry...

i also want to do all jyotirlingas in my life & have done 4 so far...so that should take me to orissa & east i believe someday. i also want to do varanasi (havent yet) & i HAVE to do pashupatinath nepal.

btw flight pathway for me is always detroit --> amsterdam --> bombay...so i have got to do amsterdam for 5 days once! for a ganja connoisseur, cali is probably the mecca of the world (in terms of diversity & trends & stuff)...sorry if i insulted anyone else at FC for saying that...i know theres pretty much everyone from the world here.

i was actually thinking about finding out how many true desis were on here from the motherland. but i wonder how many people from china are on here? they are the most populous on the globe so i really want to hear their ganja stories, too.

but over in india, i didnt vape. pipes are sold everywhere so its very easy to just get chillums that you dispose everywhere...

reminds me of another funny story of mine in india...me & my cousin hiked to the gir forest in gujurat (its actually a state thats dry - does NOT sell alcohol). anyways, we had a few bottles on us when we got there, camped out in the jungle, & i had my ganja & chillum that i was smoking on. anyways, one day, i had my stash & stuff in my room & somehow it accidentally got thrown out while cleaning. i had my ganja in a cellophane wrap that i flame-sealed (the plastic on the cigarette boxes - my cousin smokes cigs). anyways, it was missing somehow! i kind of complained to the owner (i wasnt mad, i was just like "damn i lost my ganja...that sucks") & he sent his 4 sons all over looking everywhere for a plastic sealed ganja sack!!!! i was looking too...it was so funny...the son who threw it out actually found it somewhere outside the window & gave it back to me!!!! it was so funny...the son ended up going to town for some supplies & stuff later on that week & came back with a local-made chillum for me (nothing fancy at all, just very plain, no designs or artwork - just a very functional piece)...it was so nice of him. they were actually SUPPORTING my ganja-smoking! i always made it a point to strike up conversations & learn about people and be open to all types of experiences over there...that type of attitude can make you a lot of allies in india (& probably everywhere while traveling)...you cant allow language to be a barrier...there are so many ways to communicate when language isnt available.

ive de-seeded & rolled up spliffs on public govt buses over there, smoked in train bathrooms, never was obnoxious about it but never really hid it either...most people had absolutely no problems with it. a lot of times, nobody paid me any attention to what i was smoking, just staring at me for other reasons (hairstyle, clothes, shoes, accent...).

the truth is that there is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many people around you at all times & 75% of them are smoking on SOMETHING that there is so many smells & distractions to pay attention to if someones smoking a spliff or not. ive walked around & caught odors in the air, but most of the time i would not know how to even find where its coming from.

people are used to everyone around them stealing, pickpocketing, spitting, smoking (bidis, ganja, or cigarettes), swearing, cheating, touching, grabbing, walking, shitting, pissing, dodging cows, keeping your eye on monkeys (yes, MONKEYS) so they dont steal your stuff, buses, rickshaws, cars, bikes, ox-pulled carts, ELEPHANTS from time to time, snakes...the last thing they are thinking about is if someones smoking ganja in their vicinity (there could be 30 or more people in their immediate 3 meter radius). for the few moments of relax & chill, make friends around you & theyll even strike a match to light your chillum for you!

man sorry if this post is so scattered...reading through it just made me think about all these things & even more india stories i have...

im really interested in hearing your smoking stories in india (doesnt have to be as detailed). but do you smoke with school friends? what age did you start smoking there? how the hell did you get into vaporizers? how much do you pay? when you travel within india, how do you look for hookups? do you ask sadhus or ask at the bidi-wallas or ask random people? its very interesting to me...not many people i know have gone to india & smoked there...

again, sorry for the super long, random thoughts...

A little late to the party, but I'm native Maharashtrian and have lived in India all my life. I own two MFLBs, an e-nano and am ordering a FocusVape Pro soon. It's so surprising that I've been an active member of these forums for 5 years and have never stumbled upon this thread!

Well, I'm not Indian - but I spent a wonderful year there travelling around. I didn't vape then, I still combusted - but weed and top quality blacks were very easy to come by, pretty much everywhere I went. I only had one dodgy encounter (or not so dodgy, depending on your outlook). I guess things were lost in translation, and instead of buying hash, I ended up with a shit load of opium! I was in a pretty strict state at the time, so decided to lob it on the hotel roof! Maybe not the best thought out plan :uhoh: - but what to do :shrug::D

Hey,
Just a heads up: so far as I know, these forums don't condone publicly discussing how to procure substances that are illegal in a specific country and/or to find good prices on them.
Also, I don't know what vape pen combusts (!?) but would recommend you stop using it, because that isn't the point of a vape.
