So word from the street is that this week the Alternativ bar (Karlova 145) which is a popular underground place due to Italians openly discussing where they could buy weed in prague on open forums, even going as far as to name the barman who was offering it. So, as a consequence, Alternativ has been raided several times and is another place off the list for a peaceful smoke right now. From a country that is famous for the expression 'shutta your mouth' you guys sure know how to wag your tongues. Thanks guys! |

I've been abent this week due to a nice trip up to Berlin to come and see the Venus festival. During my stay here I have been talking to some friends and comparing notes on the Berlin smoking VS the Prague smoking scene, with some surprising answers!
Firstly it seems that Berlin gets a webehigh rating of 4, same as Prague. Which is interesting as Prague is often lauded as the 'Amsterdam of the East' but Berlin rarely gets a mention. So how do they really compare? Both cities have remarkably similar events; whilst Berlin has the 'Henfparade or Marijuana March, Czech of course has the Cannafest and other liberalization movements going on in parallel. From a possession point of view; even 15 grams here seems to be tolerated, 5 more than we are allowed to have before getting hauled in. But really who can smoke a 10 bag anyway.....15 is just greedy :)
So the czechsmokers group moved the usual Sunday night smokers meeting to Bukowskis bar. A group of 7 attended, and conversation was great until the barman came over and told us to stop smoking weed.
As you can imagine, that put a bit of a damper on a group of people who met with the specific purpose of smoking! Diet cokes, beers and cocktails were quickly downed. I give this bar a 0/5 for the following reasons- .33cl beers instead of .50, for 24kc, which is almost DOUBLE the price of most bars. its 14kc for a 'small' in our local. But then its well known that hipsters can't drink like real men. No smoking Disinterested Hipster/Grunge bar staff serving arrogant hipsters overprice beer. AVOID.
well, its pissing down out there, so I have to find something to do to occupy my time.
I've recently become fascinated with urban exploring. And in particular one site has a lot of information about Prague. I like abandoned buildings, so I guess im pretty much an 'urban explorer' even though I never gave myself the title. However im also a bit twisted so I would be take a leaf out of this guys book, except in Czech, someone would probably shoot me. |
