Cannabis in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia - my story

Hi there, hustlers 🤝Welcome to my longread about weed in Kuala Terengganu, 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 Kuala Terengganu, attitude of police and local inhabitants, weed VS hash availability and price range, my own experience related to weed in Kuala Terengganu.

I have just finished my trip to Kuala Terengganu, 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 Kuala Terengganu without having some weed in my pocket. Below I will outline information I found out while looking for some good smelly green buds in Kuala Terengganu.

Marijuana regulations in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia

You should know that storage and distribution of non-medical cannabis is forbidden and strictly regulated by laws of Malaysia. This means you can not go and buy some good weed in an official shop like you may do in Canada for example. Low THC and high CBD cannabis may be ordered if you have a prescription from a doctor.

On my first evening in Kuala Terengganu I met Joe who moved here a couple of years ago. I got lucky - he was one of the heavy weed smokers, so he agreed to share a joint with me and tell me some stories about local dealers. As he said from the very beginning - even though weed is prohibited in Kuala Terengganu - cops are overall calm and relaxed in everything related to cannabis, this made me feel better.

What if I get caught with marijuana in Kuala Terengganu?

In fact, according to Joe - 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 Kuala Terengganu. 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 Kuala Terengganu.

How to get weed in Kuala Terengganu?

I did not need a dealer in Kuala Terengganu because I had Joe, anyway it was interesting for me how gears work in Kuala Terengganuin relation to cannabis.

High-level wholesale Kuala Terengganu 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 Kuala Terengganu, obtaining cannabis through wholesale darknet websites isn't a viable option. Searching for street or park dealers remains a possibility for acquiring weed in Kuala Terengganu, 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, Joe 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 Joe got me thinking, and I realized I also have such a friend, so I followed his suggestion.

What do Kuala Terengganu locals think about weed and cannabis

Despite non-medical cannabis being officially forbidden in Kuala Terengganu - locals are absolutely absolutely relaxed about this type of light drugs. Young people and tourists are large target audiences for weed dealers in Kuala Terengganu, and all locals know that. This does not mean you may smoke joints in any bars, but no one should be surprised if they find you smoking weed somewhere in the dark corner of the street.

According to Joe - even local cops in Kuala Terengganu are occasional weed smokers, so we may state that the atmosphere is relaxed in everything related to cannabis, while you should anyway watch your back to avoid any stressful situations with police.

So, then Joe shared the small joint of a new hemp variety, thanks to him, it was the exact thing I needed. We got some portions of tasty beer and we were a little bit drunk, so we decided not to go far. We started smoking on the street straight near my hostel and it seemed that on the next street some guys were doing the same.

I was thankful to Joe for one joint, but I wanted to find a regular supplier for all my vacation in Kuala Terengganu . So I begged Joe to share the name of his provider of weed with me. He declined it, because his friend didn't cooperate with the tourists, only with locals. I was persistent, so at the end of the evening and the couple of beers, he agreed to be the dealer of marijuana for me. All my goals connected with good rest were solved, thanks to Joe!
