Buds and weed in Can Tho, Vietnam - my impression

Hello dear rasta audience🤝Want to tell my story about adventures with weed in Can Tho, with some stories of local inhabitant.

You are probably aware that marijuana laws are different in different places. This article should shed light on cannabis regulations in Can Tho, what do local people and cops think about weed, hash availability, pricing, my own experience etc.

Just wrapped up my vacation, spent a fantastic time in Can Tho, and as a passionate cannabis enthusiast, I can't envision a vacation without enjoying a sativa joint during the day and some indica buds with a cold beer before bedtime. Below, you'll discover the insights I gained while on the hunt for top-notch recreational weed in Can Tho.

Cannabis laws in Can Tho, Vietnam

You can probably guess that distribution of non-medical cannabis is strictly forbidden and regulated by laws of Vietnam, so you can not purchase high THC weed in some official shops like you may do in the Netherlands for example.

On my very first day in Can Tho I got acquainted with Fred who has lived here for 3 years already and who is also a regular cannabis smoker. He shared a joint with me and told some stories. As he told that despite non-medical weed being prohibited - cops are relaxed and calm in everything related to cannabis, with some rare exceptions.

What are the consequences of being caught with marijuana in Can Tho ?

In reality, as Fred pointed out, if you're over 18 and possess fewer than 20 grams of cannabis or 10 grams of hashish and refrain from public consumption, you shouldn't anticipate any legal trouble. At most, law enforcement may seize your belongings once they confirm you're not involved in distribution.

Typically, law enforcement officers do not interfere with foreign tourists who are enjoying their vacation or conducting business trips in Can Tho and contributing to the economy of Vietnam.

Perception of Cannabis Among Residents of Can Tho

It's worth noting that high-THC non-medical cannabis isn't officially available for purchase in licensed cannabis stores in Can Tho, but that doesn't mean the locals are strongly opposed to it 😃. It's primarily the younger crowd and students who openly enjoy cannabis and are open to welcoming new enthusiasts into their social circles. They consider a couple of joints an essential part of a good party, although it might be a bit challenging to fit in if you happen to be over 25.

In general, indulging in the random joint after a long workweek is a cherished tradition among many residents of Can Tho. People tend to be tolerant, so there's no need to worry about judgment when it comes to your cannabis consumption. However, it's advisable to avoid doing so in public to avoid unnecessary attention.

The overall attitude of locals to weed is rather relaxed, so you may even feel yourself home in Can Tho after one good joint, telling this from my own experience. Fred shared with me a joint of simply perfect sativa (while he did not know the exact strain). We were smoking outside the bar, and saw other guys doing the same on the other side of the street 😁 So I can definitely say that smoking weed is rather popular in Can Tho.

I’ve asked Fred if he may share contacts of his dealer, cause stuff was out of this world. He told me that his exact dealer does not work with new people, so he will be my dealer during my vacation, which was simply perfect. I wish everyone to find your own Fred in some bar of Can Tho.

Where can one acquire cannabis in Can Tho?

Although I personally didn't face any issues with obtaining cannabis in Can Tho thanks to Fred, he did enlighten me about the process (and not just related to cannabis).

Typically, higher-level dealers procure their inventory from wholesale darknet websites. In theory, you could navigate the complexities of using darknet platforms to have your order delivered in a matter of days or even weeks. The website thehiddenwiki.com provides all the necessary links to make purchases in the darknet using the Tor browser and cryptocurrencies. However, this method is generally more suitable for those seeking larger quantities and have the luxury of time (several days) for delivery.

But if you have a short trip to Can Tho or vacation + need not too much weed and right now - only small local dealers may help you. Walking dark streets in a search for a strange-looking person who will sell you something that looks like weed for cash is still an option, but this is not the best way to spend time in Can Tho and does not guarantee you any success. Today almost all dealers went online already, so they arrange the delivery of stuff after taking crypto instead of cash. They try to avoid meetings in person so you just select the approximate drop off point, and get a photo where exactly to take your stuff after the delivery. Stuff is usually masked and looks not suspicious (may be a pack of juice or cigarettes you just take and continue walking).

I was surprised, really. Looks like I am too oldschool already - thought cash rules the world. While nowadays you may anonymously exchange crypto to cash - so for all illegal payments this became option #1. So now the dealing process looks like this - you find some messenger contacts of a local dealer (ask google or local barman), contact him and choose what you want to order, pay in crypto and get your stuff delivered to some pre-selected place (that may be your hotel). Personal meetings are something dealers try to avoid - so weed is usually dropped at some approximate point you firstly discuss, and you get photo and GPS coordinates where to take your package after delivery.

Can I smoke cannabis on the streets in Can Tho ?

In some places, smoking marijuana in public, on the streets, or in parks may be illegal and subject to administrative sanctions. My advice is to try to avoid smoking marijuana in public places.

What will happen if I get caught with cannabis in Can Tho ?

Usually, law enforcement tends to be lenient with tourists, and if they don't suspect you of dealing, they will most likely let you go.

Can you recommend a place to buy weed in Can Tho ?

As I mentioned before, I was fortunate to meet Fred. If I were you, I would look for Telegram channels and avoid interacting with street dealers.

Can I find high quality weed or hash in Can Tho?

Yes, while quality varies from dealer to dealer.

Can I find hash in Can Tho?

Yes, a lot of dealers sell both weed and hash, so hash is also popular and can be found in Can Tho. Not all dealers have it, but it is still rather popular.

What is the price for weed and hash in Can Tho?

Prices vary from dealer to dealer and usually depend on stuff quality and dealer’s greediness 😂From what I saw - super high quality weed may go up to $20 - $25 per 1 gram (while the more you buy - the lower price you get), and high quality hash was around $30-$35 per 1 gram. Have not purchased low quality weed in Can Tho so do not know the prices, but should be lower.
