This is from webehigh.com's Barcelona page.

Where to Buy Marijuana in Barcelona:

Well the infamous Ramblas is still a hot spot! As many reccomend the shops area has many police.. However, if you walk down ramblas you will pass 2 or 3 metro stops when you get to the one I am talking about You will see all the African guys standing around.. Make eye contact and lift your eyebrows.. Many will take you down to the metro and make the transaction inside while going up the other escalator.. Sounds sketchy but actually works well, be quick..



To find hash ask any of the arab looking guys selling beers on Ramblas or down near the waterfront..Actually the waterfron never worked for me but right at the begining of Ramblas is a good spot for hash..


"You can easily find hash on las ramblas and the surrounding squares, especially at night. This, however, is a little sketchy as it is one part of town where the concentration of cops is pretty high. Also the product isnt as good here. I found that at barceloneta the hash was abundant and good. Just simply ask one of the pakistanis selling chips, soda and beer if he has any.

What us wrong with using "arab looking guys", its simply a description, if someone described me as the european looking guy it would be ridiculous to get offended.

The same for "Pakistanis" and "Africans", if that is their nationality, wheres the problem? Should i be offended if someone called me a brit? Or a "westener" if i was in korea?

Please tell me you're just trolling and not the ultra PC idiot that im assuming you are.

Well, if you had asked a boozer during American prohibition who to look for if you want a good connection for alcohol, you'd probably here more about Italians and Irishmen from big cities than you would about Presbyterians from Iowa.

I don't think it's racist to say "If you're looking for hash, try the corner of Jones and Smith and make eye contact with an arab guy". Different cultural groups tend to go into different lines of work, at least during certain phases of their social ascension. It WOULD be racist to assume that arabs are somehow genetically programmed to sell hash, or that every arab you meet anywhere is selling.

Hi - I'm not PC. I just thought this was funny in a somewhat remarkable way. What happens if I ask "Where can I find pornography in Barcelona?"
Who would they send me to?

I'm going to go to the Picasso museum while I'm there. I think under different states of mind, I might appreciate the visit in more than one way.

Assasin- Arabic language Hashish eater. I assume that it means in order to build up the confidence to kill a king they would consume large amounts of Hashish.
