In Calcuta or however they spell it nowadays, I met a fellow traveler who told me about the government licensed ganja and opium shop. I bought a goodly amount of each and headed back to my squalid hovel of a hotel to try it out. The ganja we tried first and it gave us both a headache so we figured the O would be equally useless. To our surprise it was most excellent, consuming it mixed in hot tea either dissolved in the tea or washed down with it. I went back to the government shop next day and bought a supply of it since we planned to be taking lots of trains over the next few weeks and it was darned cheap. It was just the thing for long train trips and in Rajahastan (sp), the Indian O center, we stocked up on more. A good time was had but no dead babies. Chai, Chai.

    No doubt. Opium is in fact a very light-acting drug but the small difference it makes is still significant in changing your perception. On opium, you wouldn't miss dead babies who were actually there. Even in it's refined form, morphine, heroin, and oxycontin, you would not hallucinate dead babies except in a way that you knew was a dream state. As for scammers, yes, they are everywhere in the world and you must be aware when you travel, if you can travel. For people in the US right now, I recommend Mexico. There are dishonest people as anywhere but not nearly as many as you might think. The majority are kind, good people but beware in the border cities.
