well, Nepal was indeed a great flourishing nation in 70's when there was a flood of hippies. It also brought attention to lot of rock star like Bob Dylan, Jim morrison etc etc. My dad use to have a shop as well at that time with his partner in freekstreet called shiva hash shop where they use to sell lot of weed good quality coming most from lamjung. He even mention me that there was a place bit far from TU somewhere between chovar and Dakshin Kali where all the smokers use to gather and get high. It all started fading after the Congress led movement by BP Koirala. Late King Mahandra become consieness for raising a plot against his rein. He Banned the Marijuna andmvade all the tourist exhile. I think it had been cool there. There was a chance of being everyone getting hippie types. It will lead to laziness, Philosopical view and stuff like that. I thinkl we should open a door for weed legal in Nepal. The nations are getting legals on weed are now switzerland, England allows certain amout of weed to carry.It is also iron truth that since the holland goverment annouce the weed legal, the rate has been droped on smoker by big margine.
