Fes (and I assume other cities) has a huge drug problem. I very often get asked if I want to do drugs. Specifically, if I want to "try the pie before I die". Aside from being hilarious, it's also kind of depressing. According to Sofia, this happens to all men, not just tourists. I can guess that this is correct based on the fact that I get asked when I'm alone and don't look like a tourist and the fact that the women all say that they don't get asked to do drugs.
Do the sellers persist after you say "no"? I hope not. Drug-pushing makes me sad. Thanks for letting us know though.
ReplyDeleteTypically no. In fact people in general here are rarely excessively insistent; people who make their money off of tourists are far less aggressive than I hear is the case in Egypt, for example.
