When we were driving into Manali, Tobs was pointing out some weeds to Roh growing on the side of the road and in the fields.
“It’s EVERYWHERE!”
I didn’t get what the excitement was all about. Tobs was trying to point out the weeds and describing it’s leaf shape and what it looks like, and me being a blursotong took awhile before I realised OHHHhhh not weeds… but weed!
I didn’t know what it looked like as a plant, only what it smells like.
Cannabis is like a weed at this altitude, it’s growing everywhere like an ordinary shrub. When we were leaving Manali, we came across a whole field of them growing in the wild. When would you come across this opportunity again to do “The Beach“-like movie experience. So we laid down in the field of cannabis for a photo op.
So when you’re driving in or out of Manali, remember to keep your eyes peeled and windows down.
OMG.
