'''Pseudopolis Yard''' is the name of a circular street in the [[Isle of Gods]], a bit of uptown [[Ankh-Morpork]] almost circled by the river [[Ankh (river)|Ankh]], connected to the rest of uptown Ankh-Morpork by two streets, and to downtown Morpork by four bridges.
There are several ways to consume cannabis, including smoking, vaping, edibles, and concentrates. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to smoke cannabis:


Nine streets radiate out from the Yard. Proceeding Turnwise (clockwise) from Lower Broad Way, these are described as:-
Choosing Cannabis: Start by selecting the right strain of cannabis for your needs. Indica strains are known for their relaxing effects, while Sativa strains are known for their energizing effects. Hybrid strains offer a balance between the two. You can purchase cannabis from a dispensary or grow your own if it's legal in your area.


*Lower [[Broad Way]] leads back to the [[Patrician's Palace]] and onwards, via the [[Brass Bridge]]. [[Brewer Street]] radiates off  halfway along and, via [[Contract Bridge (landmark)|Contract Bridge]], leads to [[Cheapside]] on the other side of the river.  
Acquiring Smoking Accessories: You'll need a few basic accessories to smoke cannabis. These include:
*[[Holofernes Street]] crosses back to the University quarter and the main Guildhouses on the [[Street of Alchemists]] and [[Peach Pie Street]] via the [[New Bridge]].
  Rolling papers: Thin, porous papers that allow you to roll joints or blunts.
*[[Lag Lane]] is a service road to the [[Tanty]] prison that does not cross the river.
  A bong: A water filtration device that cools and filters the smoke.
* Polestaff Lane runs on the other side of the Tanty and leads onto Don't Look Back Street, which leads onto [[Body Street]] and terminates at the riverside [[Chain Walk]].  
  A pipe: A handheld device with a bowl and a stem to smoke cannabis.
*[[Salis Street]] leads, via one of the swingbridges over [[The Cut|the Cut]], to the Ankh side and the crossroads with [[Prouts]] and [[Park Lane]].
  A grinder: A tool used to grind cannabis buds into smaller particles for easier burning.
* The next street is [[Quilldaisy Stairs]], which goes directly to [[Pon's Bridge]] towards the Shades. On the far side of Pons it is named as [[Sheer Street]]. 
  A lighter: A device to ignite the cannabis.
*[[Squeezebelly Alley]]  does not cross the river. which ends at the riverbank at [[By-Your-Leave Walk]] and does not cross the river.  
*[[The Butts|Butt's Treat]] also does not cross the river, but it leads to the archery practice fields.  


Preparing Cannabis: If your cannabis is in bud form, you'll need to grind it before smoking. This can be done using a grinder or by breaking it up with your fingers. Make sure the cannabis is evenly ground for a consistent burn.


It can therefore be seen from the Mappe that the major arterial roadway  through the city of Ankh-Morpork runs  [[Hubwards Gate]] - Upper Broadway-Patrician's Palace - Brass Bridge-Lower Broad Way - Pseudopolis Yard - Salis Street - the Cut - [[Park Lane]] - [[Edgeway Road]] - [[Rimwards Gate]]. This road can be traced as one completely straight unbroken road right through the City from Gate to Gate.  
Rolling a Joint: To roll a joint, follow these steps:
  Lay a rolling paper flat and place a filter tip at the end (optional).
  Spread a small amount of cannabis evenly along the paper, leaving room at the top.
  Fold the bottom half of the paper up over the cannabis and roll it into a tube shape.
  Seal the joint by licking the glue line on the rolling paper.


The [[Opera House]] stands at the dead centre of Pseudopolis Yard, which, in some theories, makes it the absolute dead centre of the City. On the other side of the street, the [[Ankh-Morpork City Watch]]'s headquarters can be found. Given its links to policing, possibly a reference to {{wp|Scotland_Yard|Scotland Yard}}
Lighting and Smoking: Light the joint or blunt using a lighter. Hold the flame to the tip of the joint, allowing it to burn evenly. Take slow, deep breaths, holding the smoke in your lungs for a few seconds before exhaling.


According to [[Book:The Compleat Ankh-Morpork|The Compleat Ankh-Morpork]], Pseudopolis Yard also offers a choice of two public houses - 'The Singing Hippos' on the corner of Lower [[Broadway]], opposite the Watch House, and 'The Stab in the Back' on the corner of [[Salis Street]].
Bong or Pipe: To smoke using a bong or pipe, follow these steps:
  Place a small amount of ground cannabis in the bowl of the bong or pipe.
  Light the cannabis using a lighter.
  Inhale slowly through the mouthpiece to draw the smoke into your lungs.
  Hold the smoke in your lungs for a few seconds before exhaling.
