Cannabis in Curitiba, Brazil - my story

Hi there, hustlers 🤝Welcome to my longread about weed in Curitiba, done from my own experience plus some local stories.

As you all know cannabis regulations differ in different countries, so the point of this article is to cover marijuana laws in Curitiba, attitude of police and local inhabitants, weed VS hash availability and price range, my own experience related to weed in Curitiba.

I have just finished my trip to Curitiba, stayed there for 10 days, now got back home, writing this post while memory is fresh and with a solid joint in my left hand. As a regular weed smoker I could not imagine my stay in Curitiba without having some weed in my pocket. Below I will outline information I found out while looking for some good smelly green buds in Curitiba.

Local attitude towards weed and cannabis in Curitiba

Although only medical cannabis is allowed in Curitiba, the locals are absolutely ok with the smokers. Local dealers have big cash from the students and tourists, so they are their weed target audiences in Curitiba. You shouldn't allow yourself to smoke anywhere, for example in bars, but nobody is surprised if you get caught smoking weed in a secluded corner of the street.

One more interesting fact from my new friend Brian - even some cops in Curitiba prefer smoking weed over drinking strong. So as I understood Curitiba is a good place for smokers of marijuana because of the light atmosphere, but all the same the best rule is not to be caught with weed in Curitiba 😉.

The overall attitude of locals to weed is rather relaxed, so you may even feel yourself home in Curitiba after one good joint, telling this from my own experience. Brian 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 Curitiba.

I’ve asked Brian 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 Brian in some bar of Curitiba.

How to get weed in Curitiba?

I did not need a dealer in Curitiba because I had Brian, anyway it was interesting for me how gears work in Curitibain relation to cannabis.

High-level wholesale Curitiba dealers purchase weed and hash on the darknet websites. Usually these sites are about wholesale multi-kilo orders, but some also work with small amounts. So in fact this may be an option #1 for you - under the condition you know how to use darknet features of Tor browser and .onion sites + ready to wait 3-5 days for the delivery. If yes - you may find all the info about darknet websites on thehiddenwiki.com - darknet wikipedia.

If you're on a short vacation or a trip to Curitiba, obtaining cannabis through wholesale darknet websites isn't a viable option. Searching for street or park dealers remains a possibility for acquiring weed in Curitiba, but an increasing number of dealers are transitioning to online transactions through messaging apps and Bitcoin payments instead of cash. This approach serves as a protective measure against potential encounters with law enforcement. Crypto payments offer anonymity, and deliveries are made to specified locations without the need for in-person meetings, ensuring both you and the dealer are shielded from potential consequences.

This revelation surprised me, as I lean toward a more traditional approach and had only heard about cryptocurrencies in passing. However, these days, most young individuals, who are often the target audience for cannabis dealers, possess crypto wallets, so dealers are simply adapting to this trend. While I believe that some dealers might lose business because not all clients are familiar with cryptocurrencies, Brian pointed out that nowadays, if you don't use crypto yourself, you likely have a friend who does. In such cases, you can simply transfer money from your card to your crypto-savvy friend, and they can conduct the cryptocurrency transaction on your behalf. This advice from Brian got me thinking, and I realized I also have such a friend, so I followed his suggestion.

Cannabis laws in Curitiba, Brazil

You can probably guess that distribution of non-medical cannabis is strictly forbidden and regulated by laws of Brazil, 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 Curitiba I got acquainted with Brian 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 if I get caught with marijuana in Curitiba?

In fact, according to Brian - if you have less than 10g of weed or 5g of hash and behave correctly + do not smoke joints in public - nothing critical should happen. Cops will check if you are not intending to sell the stuff being a real dealer, they should just confiscate weed after a short talk.

People say sometimes police officers try to get some material benefits from catching you with weed in Curitiba. These stories are rare, but mind that some cops may force you giving them some money to leave you alone. But never try to offer them anything yourself, this may be treated as a separate crime. Easier just to watch your back not not get caught with weed in Curitiba.

Have not purchased low quality weed in Curitiba so do not know the prices, but should be lower.
