Goa Report

Well, After asking a bunch of forums, I did not get much info about where to buy in Goa. I did manage to score some, so here are some tips for guys heading there.

First Stop - Palolem.

Palolem is on the southern side of Goa and is a more relaxed, less polluted, more old school area. There are tons of beach huts around many little beach bars. After arriving in Palolem, we went on the prowl to pick up some hash.

Asked around at many bars and on the beach, including vendors of paraphernalia, but no luck. All we got was evasive answers. We stepped into one beach shack to find people smoking away to their hearts content. I approached the bar manager who told me that the dealers in Palolem do not sell to Indians since the cops generally go undercover to bust them. Me being of Indian descent was not going to get any the easy way. He instead approached the smokers in his bar and asked them sell me a bit. They obliged with a couple of grammes of some fine hash.

As we chatted up with people there, one of them offered to get his dealer to bring some in. So I got about 15 grammes (1.5 tolas) for Rs 3000 (a bit steep) but we found that the quality was very good (pic attached).

These 15 grammes lasted the whole trip (6 days) so we didn't need to buy again.

Smoke report: Very sativa again. Instant head high - no body high at all. High lasted about 2 hours. Could smoke this constantly for about 6 hours then come down completely and continue smoking again. Since this was very cerebral, we ended up really enjoying taking long walks around town.


Tips for the newbie: Don't sit in one bar only. Keep moving. Check out bars that have raggae, Indian (Shiva etc) names or posters. Check to see if people smoke and then ask them. Most are willing to help fellow smokers.

There are a couple of bars (1 in south Goa and 1 in north) which sell hash. You basically order some food then ask for something off the menu and order the hash. I found these out on my last days when I saw the guys next door ordering some. Am loathe to reveal their names in an open forum.

Nice u found some smoke and had a nice trip, but....

Palolem is not a hippi hang out place, go to arambol or chapora there u find the Rasta, hippie freaks ect.

I like palolem because the Beach is one off the best in Goa, Clean and beautifull, with good sunset, but fore Goa standarts its pretty posh...

Did u go to Chapora and smoke chillums in the mango tree....

Where's the nearest airport to Goa? Do they have places you can smoke weed openly? What are the prices/quality like?
Are the beaches clean?

There's an airport like 40 minutes by taxi from the beach.
You can smoke in a discreet fashion everywhere. Goa is a Party town. But be warned, its India not the south of France. Long, wide beach, lots of eyes watching anybody that looks different.

Be careful, there were a bunch of violent incidents not too long ago. Goes without saying, but don't owe anybody any money over there. You an find good and bad, depends on the quality of your connection. Cheap to mid-range.

Goa has a small international airport in a place called Dabolim - which is in the center of the state. There are beaches all along Goa and the furthest ones are about 2 hours from the airport.

You can smoke openly in certain beach bars/restaurants but it is better to check with the owners first. Some are cool with it others not so much.

Prices can vary from Rs 1000 (20 USD) to Rs 3000 for a tola (10 grammes) of hash.

Quality is dependent on your connect. You can get great hash if you look around.

The beaches in the north of Goa are very commercialised (package holiday hell) and are very dirty. South Goa is the place to be.

Beach huts in Palolem. 400 rupees a night. Everything is more expensive in Goa. Best place I found along the coast was Gokarna. Om Beach is the perfect getaway from the hustle n bustle of Indian madness.

My first introduction to Om Beach. Such a clean and friendly place. Gorkarna is 90km below Goa in the state of Karnataka. Alot less tourists and everything is way cheaper. 10 grams of weed 150 rupees. Higher quality Kerala weed costs 250 for 10 grams. Beach huts for 150 - 200 a night.Area is not at all built up but because of its beauty, I feel it wont be long.

Looks truly Cool. The Pic of Om Beach. Thanks for that.

I am interested in travel there, but it is a Considerable Journey from where I live. Other side of the planet almost exactly.

Is it really 'Chill' There..?

its really nice there, chill.... yes and no. lets just say u dont want to be caught w anything in goa or anywhere else in india, and if u do get caught, your best case scenario is a bribe "bakshish".

its def worth it.... one of my all time best trips of my life was from NYC to amsterdam for a few days then to mumbai, rent a car & driver @ the airport, drive me to goa, there by sunset.
90 days later back to usa.

stay away from beaches where indian tourists go like colva, they are trashy (like lots of trash on the beach)

Om Beach is chill as fuck lad. Cops are paid off to stay outta the restaurants/guesthouses and ya can skin up everywhere. You can see the cops walking the beach from miles away and only about once a week. Mate got caught in Gokarna and paid the cop about 20 euro. Sorted. Good variety down there too. Few diff kinds/grades of weed and charas to be found. Go there....its amazing.

India is a great place to go. Like anywhere in the world, you'll have to look around before you find quality smoke. The cream is well worth the money, if you can find it. Sure, you can easily go up to Malana, but I wouldn't recommend bringing anything with you down as the cops are working closely with the fishy Malana people.

As for getting caught - Why are you even writing paranoid stuff like that, mr Avanish.miles... Do you know what you're talking about, firsthand? I did get caught with 10g super opium up in Himachal Pradesh, I did not pay bakshish nor suck anyone's dick. I simply walked out the station, 30 mins later, showing the cops respect will take you very far. And not admitting to anything.

I'll mention I also smoked joints with cops, as did my friends up in Himachal Pradesh. In Goa - Cops were looking for bribes everywhere, so you don't wanna smoke in the open, sadly. Goa is the drug capital of India, keep it in mind. Tourists come here to party, cops come here to make money.
