Weed in Alor Setar, Malaysia: A Simple Story

Hi there! This is a story about a trip to Alor Setar, Malaysia, where I learned some interesting things about cannabis, or in other words weed or ganja. It’s a magic plant that people use to feel relaxed or happy. But in Alor Setar, it’s not so easy to find, and there are some important rules about it.

I just got back from Alor Setar a week ago, now smoking a big joint of pineapple weed strain, reminding me of that cool time I had in Alor Setar — thanks in part to the weed that accompanied me on my adventures.

Coppin' Weed in Alor Setar: The New Wave

So here’s the scoop on how folks are gettin' their green in Alor Setar. Steve 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 Alor Setar for a few days, tryin' to navigate the darknet and waitin' on cannabis shipments ain't it.

For tourists, the process of obtaining weed in Alor Setar is a bit different. Street dealers are less common these days. Instead, many have moved to a more discreet system using encrypted messaging apps like Telegram. You get their contact details from someone who’s already bought weed in Alor Setar or through online forums, then you place your order, arrange a drop-off point, and pay with cryptocurrency. The package is typically left in a hidden spot, and you’re given the location and a photo to help you find it. This approach minimizes risks for both you and the dealer. I was glad I had Steve as my connection so I didn’t have to go through all this hassle.
