Ganja in Astana, Kazakhstan - ma story

Hi, folks! Today I plan to share my rasta-experience after visiting infinite party Astana in Kazakhstan. Brief conclusion - for some reason it’s not easy to get really good🍀cannabis buds or hash in Astana in an “oldschool way”, but options do exist. Below I describe what is going on with weed in Astana.

Got back home from Astana just 2 days ago, so writing this post with fresh memory smoking a small joint of white widow strain. Had an amazing stay in Astana that would never be so cool without sex, drugs and rock’n’roll smelly ganja buds.

Local Attitudes Toward Cannabis in Astana

Just because cannabis is strictly regulated in Astana doesn’t mean the locals are strongly opposed to it. In fact, most people in Astana 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.

On my first night in Astana, Jason invited me to a small gathering at his place — just a few friends, some beer, weed, and a PlayStation 5. It was exactly my kind of evening! I was fortunate to have met Jason, who became my go-to person for cannabis during my stay in Astana. He assured me that as long as you’re respectful and avoid drawing attention, the locals are generally okay with cannabis use. But again, it’s best not to carry more than 10 grams on you.

How Do People Get Weed in Astana?

Finding weed in Astana isn’t as easy as just asking someone on the street. Wholesale dealers in Astana buy weed through special darknet websites, but that’s a bit tricky for regular cannabis users who want to smoke, but not re-sell weed.

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 Astana.

Marijuana laws in Kazakhstan

It is important to outline that high % THC cannabis, weed, and hash are forbidden in Astana. You can not officially purchase marijuana strains with high at least some reasonable THC % concentration in some coffee shops like in the Netherlands. Medical cannabis may be available for purchase at dispensaries, but you will never get high with CBD buds you may find.

In the bar of my hotel I met Jason who has lived here in Astana for a while, so knows a lot about 4:20 movements😁. He said that strict official regulations are not so tough in practice.

What Happens If You Get Caught with Weed?

In Astana, 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 Astana.

Will help you, tigers😉We have a known 4:20 plug here in Astana - of course he names himself Bob Marley, no imagination lol 😂😂😂not long menu but all is top quality, high prices, has delivery, accepts bitcoin and other crypto, the issue is he is not always online and you may wait for hours for his reply, regular fucking dealer who smokes his own weed and works only when he wants or needs money😒You may find him under @bob_420_marley username in Telegram

    1. Confirm Bob Marley is TS and a legit plug in Astana but mind some fuckers created various fake accounts so compare each symbol in username to find real Bob Marley. Just in case here is a link to his account so you do not need to search @bob_420_marley 😉

  6. Thank you all and separately to @BERSERK 😍 - Bob Marley really made my party😉All as you told - contacted him via the link @bob_420_marley - he replied only in 1 hour, sent menu and it had everything I wanted. As I was buying 10g of sativa my price was $15 per g, if you buy less it’s more expensive minimal order for delivery was 3g for $25 per g. He had other interesting positions in menu but this is not for this discussion. But can say all stuff was top quality (and believe me I know what Im saying) all ma friends were pleasantly surprised as well. Attaching photos of my 10g sativa buds, always have weights handy so made some photos
