Buds and weed in Dunedin, New Zealand - my impression

Hello dear rasta audience🤝Want to tell my story about adventures with weed in Dunedin, 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 Dunedin, what do local people and cops think about weed, hash availability, pricing, my own experience etc.

I've just come back from an interesting journey to Dunedin. It was a double week vacation and now when I'm at home, full of impressions I'm writing this post to share them with you, guys. As a strong smoker of the weed and hash I couldn't even imagine my trip with a 'clear mind'. Further I'll give you the information that I got when I was looking for the good drugs staff in Dunedin.

How to get weed in Dunedin?

I did not need a dealer in Dunedin because I had John, anyway it was interesting for me how gears work in Dunedinin relation to cannabis.

High-level wholesale Dunedin 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 are just having a short vacation or a trip to Dunedin - purchasing weed via wholesale darknet websites is not an option. Looking for dealers on the streets and in parks is still something you may do to find some weed in Dunedin, but more and more dealers are shifting to online orders done via messengers and payments in bitcoins instead of cash. This simply protects them from ever being caught by cops. Crypto payments are anonymous and delivery is done to selected location without any personal meetings, so both you and the dealer are secured from any possible consequences.

This was a surprise for me cause I am more old school and just “heard something about crypto”. While now all youngsters (who are usually a target group for cannabis dealers) have crypto wallets so dealers simply follow the trend. I think dealers are losing money anyway because not all clients know crypto, but John commented that nowadays if you do not use crypto - you 100% have a friend who uses it, so you may just send him money from card and he does crypto transaction for you. After that I remembered I also have such a friend, so I agreed with John.

Local attitude towards weed and cannabis in Dunedin

Although only medical cannabis is allowed in Dunedin, 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 Dunedin. 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 John - even some cops in Dunedin prefer smoking weed over drinking strong. So as I understood Dunedin 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 Dunedin 😉.

We were a little drunk already when John offered a joint of some noname sativa strain, of course I agreed. We were smoking not far from my hotel and it seems I saw other guys doing the same near another cornet 🙂So may say locals are not against weed, I saw this myself.

I liked the weed John shared, not the best one I’ve ever tried, but good enough. So I asked John to share contacts of his dealer, while he refused telling me his dealer works only with an old trusted set of clients. So I simply asked John if he could be my dealer during the nearest days - he agreed. I wish everyone to find his own John in Dunedin🙂

Weed turnaround rules in Dunedin, New Zealand

Everybody knows that cannabis with low THC and high CBD is widely used for the treatment, you need only the doctor's prescription. But the realization and keeping of non-medical cannabis is highly controlled by the government of New Zealand. For you it means that you can't obtain high-level weed in the store, like in Canada.

When I'm traveling, I'm always trying to make new friends. This time I did it on my first evening in Dunedin, I met John. He relocated to Dunedin two years ago. As I'm a lucky man - John was a good rasta guy and loved weed as much as I am. He shared a joint with me and some points about the local dealers. For the beginning he calmed me down by saying that despite the fact that cannabis is strictly controlled by law and prohibited in Dunedin - police are not so straight at this.

How not to be arrested with marijuana in Dunedin?

As John told me - for not to be arrested you can carry less than 10g of cannabis or 5g of hash. For the same purpose you should be sane and not use drugs in public places. Cops can just check if you are going to sell marijuana or not and confiscate it.

There are some possibilities that cops could try to get money from you if they catch you with weed in Dunedin. It is not a frequent story, but you should keep in mind that some cops prefer to force you to pay some money for your calmness. But not to propose money first because it can be regarded as a separate crime. So the easiest way is not to be caught with weed in Dunedin 😉.
