Blazin' in Andijon, Uzbekistan - My Story

Yo, what's good? Today, I’m gonna spill the tea on my trip to the wild streets of Andijon, Uzbekistan. Spoiler alert — if you’re lookin' for that fire weed, it ain't as easy as rollin' up to a spot like in Amsterdam. But trust, you can still catch a vibe. Here's how I got down with the herb in Andijon.

I just got back from Andijon a couple of days ago, and as I sit here enjoying a small joint of white widow, I can’t help but reflect on the great time I had in Andijon — thanks in part to the cannabis that accompanied me on my adventures.

So where do smokers purchase weed in Andijon?

Despite the fact that I did not have any problems with weed in Andijon because of Steve, he told me how everything works (and not only with cannabis).

Usually high-level dealers purchase stuff on wholesale darknet websites. Theoretically you may also go through all the nightmare of using darknet websites to get your stuff delivered in several days or even weeks. Website thehiddenwiki.com has all the links you may need to order stuff in the darknet using Tor browser and crypto, but this method usually works if you need a lot of stuff and have time (several days) to wait for the delivery.

If you are just having a short vacation or a trip to Andijon - 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 Andijon, 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 Steve 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 Steve.

Local Attitudes Toward Cannabis in Andijon

Just because cannabis is strictly regulated in Andijon doesn’t mean the locals are strongly opposed to it. In fact, most people in Andijon don’t seem to care too much about marijuana use. Of course, it’s wise to follow some basic rules, like not smoking in public. But even if someone notices you, it’s unlikely they’ll see it as a big deal.

When I was in Andijon, Steve invited me to a small party with some friends. They had some weed and played PS5, and everyone seemed okay with it as long as we were indoors and respectful. How lucky I was😁 Steve told he will be my weed dealer while I am here in Andijon so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.

It is important to note that cannabis, weed, and hash are prohibited in Andijon. 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 Steve who moved to Andijon 3 years ago, so he knows the local drug scene. According to Steve - despite cannabis being banned according to laws, cops are generally relaxed about weed, sometimes being smokers themselves.
