I was stoned the first time I stepped foot in Kibera. I met Jahre, the “boss” of the weed house. He rolled up a joint that was about 3 inches.... around. Much bigger than your extension. Anyway, we started talking about my idea of documenting what was going on in Kibera. What they're doing is using weed to get people off the streets in an ingenious idea. They do community work, pick-up trash and keep the peace, in a place that is devoid of all social services, and then get paid in weed.
What a great idea using the anti-motivational side effect of weed to keep kids non-violent. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Obama.
Jahre said he’d look out for my safety, but couldn’t make any promises. I’m pretty sure my beard protected me for the rest of my trip.
