As of November 2014 smoking remains legal in London’s public parks, but I assume that by the period in which this story takes place, that will no longer be true. The brand of cigarettes I give Sherlock reflects pure speculation on my part: it’s not known what he smokes on the show.
The last time I shotgunned pot was probably, oh, 1983, so I have supplemented those pleasant memories with Google Video. Corrections are welcome concerning changes in pot-smoking practice between my well-spent youth and the era of Sherlock’s affair with Victor.
Happy Holmestice, Neurotoxia; it was so satisfying to work with your kinks, and I do hope I hit them the way you like them hit!
