I can’t attest to the quality of the marijuana we saw for sale everywhere in Prague, but the array of pot products was quite impressive. There were a number of marijuana snacks, from chocolates to chips. Satisfy your urges for both pot and munchies in one trip to the store!
For the drinkers, there was cannabis beer, or cannabis absinthe. I never asked, but I’m sure the absinthe was not of the Toulouse Lautrec variety – that is, made from wormwood – which left its drinkers totally insensate.
