Weed in Algiers, Algeria: my experience
Hi, smokers! You probably know that cannabis laws and regulations vary from one county to another, so let’s go deeper and try to understand what is going on with weed in Algiers. My post covers info about weed laws, regulations, general attitude of locals and cops, hash VS weed availability and pricing, failures and success in searching weed in Algiers.
So, I just touched down back home from Algiers a couple of days ago, still got that fresh buzz in my head as I’m sparking up this joint of girl scout cookies strain. Man, Algiers was lit — couldn't have had a better time without those dank buds keepin' me company.
Algiers’s Weed Vibe: What Locals Say
Just ‘cause the government’s trippin' on cannabis laws in Algiers doesn’t mean the locals are too pressed. Most of 'em are just livin' their lives, not sweatin' what you do. But don’t get it twisted — keep it respectful. Smoking weed in public in Algiers ain't the move, but if someone peeps you tokin’, it’s not the end of the world.
As I was actively asking and discussing weed - John invited me to his apartment for a small party that very first evening - just a couple of his rasta friends, beer, weed and PS5 - exactly what I do love😁😁😁. How lucky I was😁 John told he will be my weed dealer while I am here in Algiers so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.
John also confirmed locals are OK with weed in Algiers if you behave yourself correctly, while it’s better to avoid cops and not to have more than 10 grams in your pocket.
Cannabis laws in Algiers, Algeria
It is important to note that cannabis, weed, and hash are prohibited in Algiers. You can not officially purchase marijuana strains with high THC concentration in some coffee shops like in Amsterdam. Medical CBD cannabis may be available for purchase at dispensaries, but a prescription from a doctor is required, and you will never get high with CBD.
In one sports bar I got acquainted with John who moved to Algiers 3 years ago, so he knows the local drug scene. According to John - despite cannabis being banned according to laws, cops are generally relaxed about weed, sometimes being smokers themselves.
What Happens If You Get Caught with Weed?
In Algiers, if you have a little bit of weed with you (less than 10 grams), you probably won’t get into big trouble. The police might take it away, but they usually won’t arrest you. It’s still a good idea to be careful and not smoke cannabis in public in Algiers.
Coppin' Weed in Algiers: The New Wave
So here’s the scoop on how folks are gettin' their green in Algiers. John gave me some info — big-time cannabis dealers are all about that darknet life, coppin' their supply from shady onion sites like DrChronic or Bitpharma. They flip it to locals and tourists alike. But if you’re just in Algiers for a few days, tryin' to navigate the darknet and waitin' on cannabis shipments ain't it.
Usually, locals already buy weed by talking to dealers they trust through messages like Telegram or Signal with payment via cryptocurrency. Then, the weed is left in a secret spot where they can pick it up without meeting the seller in person. This is new secured way of cannabis delivery used in Algiers.
Question / Answer session about marijuana in Algiers
Is high % THC weed forbidden in Algiers?
Yes, non-medical cannabis is regulated and restricted in Algiers, while police is relaxed about marijuana and having less than 10 grams with you should not result in imprisoning anything serious.
Anyway what if you get caught with some THC cannabis product in Algiers?
Depends on the situation, but if officers think you are a drug dealer for some reason who delivers stuff - you should get punished problems. In general tourists with small amounts of hash or weed are not touched at all, only dealers with large amounts.
Can I find weed in Algiers in some oldschool way?
Of course you can! While sniffing dark streets / parks and pinging taxi drivers is an outdated approach for searching marijuana already - a big bunch of dealers migrated to online sales via messengers and crypto, but hustling parks and central streets in searches for weed may still give you some successful results.
Is top-shelf weed and hash a myth in Algiers?
Nah, it’s out there, but you gotta know the right people. Quality varies, so do your homework.
How about hash? Can you find it in Algiers?
Yep, plenty of dealers got both weed and hash. It’s not always on deck, but it’s out there.
What’s the price of weed and hash in Algiers?
Prices swing depending on the plug and the quality. Top-tier bud can run you about $20 - $25 a gram, and hash could hit $30 - $35 a gram. The more you buy, the better the deal.
And that’s the lowdown on gettin' lifted in Algiers. Stay safe, stay chill, and keep that stash tight.
Good post, thanks for the info, but it’d be way better if y’all dropped some dealer contacts! C’mooon 😡😡😡
Hey RASTA squad! ONE LOVE! 🙌 All’s good here, but I need HELP! Big bday bash in 2 days, lookin for some coke and hash/weed in Algiers to make it lit! Any solid HQ plug would be a lifesaver – got Wise, Skrill, Revolut, cash, crypto, whatever. NEED A TRUSTWORTHY PLUG ASAP 🙏🙏🙏
Same, need that fire sativa! Me and Sniffer waitin’ on replies – c’mon ppl, we know you’re out there 😂
also here, same request 👀
+1, right here wit y’all lol
Alright, alright, gotcha, fam 🦁. Got a known plug here in Algiers who calls himself Bob Marley (of course 🙄) 😂 – low imagination, high quality. Prices are steep, accepts only crypto, does delivery, but usually slow on replies. Find him under @bob_420_marley on Telegram. Don’t be surprised if he ghosts you for a bit lol, looks like he smokes his own stuff regularly 😒
Yup, Bob Marley is the real deal. But heads tons of fakes out there, check every single letter in that @bob_420_marley handle. Here’s the link so no one messes up - @bob_420_marley 😉.
Thanks, fam! Didn’t think anyone would actually come through, y’all the best! I’ll keep ya posted 😆
Ayy crew, found a plan B – my buddy showed me a Telegram bot for weed, didn’t even know bots could do this! Just follow the menu, pay in crypto, and they give you GPS directions and pics to grab your stuff. Got 5g indica, pickup was in a cig pack in a wall downtown, easy find. Here’s the bot – @happy_rasta_bot
Brooo thanks so much! Tried Bob Marley , no answer, so went with @happy_rasta_bot – worked like a charm! Got my 5g in a cig pack, all set. Pics comin up!
Huge thanks to @ChronicKing! Bob Marley saved the party, no doubt 😉! Just like ya said – hit him up via @bob_420_marley and took about an hour to reply. Sent me the menu, had everything I wanted. Got 10g of sativa for $15/g with the bigger order, smaller orders are $25/g with a 3g minimum. Absolute top quality, party was a hit. Here’s some pics of my 10g haul – weighed it up for proof!
Yo, shoutout to you, ChronicKing!! Tried Bob Marley too, went smooth as ever. Cheers fam!
