Stats point out the high crime rate, One does get hassled, too, and tha tis not fun.
Racial issues are bad, as is homophobia, which affects straight travelers as well.
You gotta feel for the poverty, but I prefer to spend my travel dollars in safer places.
San Francisco does not care about smoking.... But, yo ucannot get into a medical club without a California recommendation, or card.

Mr. Nevermind said:Thank you for the concern , but no worries. Its not a gamble to me. I am sure there are bad apples in any area but it dont stop me from enjoying myself.
I never walk around with alot of cash on me, just enough for food for the day. I wear an expensive watch and leave it at home in the states and i wear diamonds in each ear and take them out before i go. No reason to flaunt wealth in front of the poor. So im not much of a target to be robbed. Just a dude in shorts and flip flops with $20 bucks on him.
Besides , since i have been there so many times and go to the same places, they know me. I give out seeds when i go so growers can have a better product and make more $$, i bring old clothes to give to locals whom are too poor to afford clothes. I bring soap and mouthwash for people, and even medicine once. So the locals know me and dont bother me. They cal me " Mista Nevamind, tru rasta"
So im sure people get robbed, but the ones that do are almost begging for it. Having $700 in cash in your pocket and a rolex in your wrist is asking to be robbed. Shorts and flip flops with $20 in my pocket and passin out clothes and more to the poor wont get me robbed. It makes me more welcome.
You treat people with respect , poor or rich , and do what you can to help and you wont be robbed.
nevermind
PS: and yes in my real life i am refered to as Nevermind. I dont liek using my real name to many people. My girl knows me as Nevermind as well but has known me for 16 years. Most friends call me Nevermind, when i travel i intorduce myself as nevermind. My neighbor calls me Alex but that aint my name. Fake names are somehting i have lived with for a long time to protect identity
pig said:well theres lots of outdoor grown in Canada and much of it from eastern canada has a distinct smell thats kind of piney berryish and is often referred to as friesland outdoors. now interestingly enough friesland is the name of a predominantly agricultural province in the Netherlands. the outdoor spotted in shanghai was of this same variety yet appeared to have been grown in northern china......
