Exploring Cannabis Scene of Braila: My Experience

Hello, everyone! Today, I’m excited to share my recent experience with cannabis in Braila, Romania. In short, finding top-quality marijuana or hash the "old-school way" isn’t easy, but there are definitely options available. Let me walk you through what I discovered about the cannabis scene in Braila.

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

What do locals think about ganja in Braila

The fact that cannabis is strictly regulated by f*cking officials the government does not mean that local inhabitants of Braila are too much against weed. Mostly - they simply do not care. Of course it is better to preserve some common rules and not to smoke weed in public in Braila, but even if someone notices you - this will not be treated as some crime or inappropriate behavior.

The overall attitude of locals to weed is rather relaxed, so you may even feel yourself home in Braila after one good joint, telling this from my own experience. Jason shared with me a joint of simply perfect sativa (while he did not know the exact strain). We were smoking outside the bar, and saw other guys doing the same on the other side of the street 😁 So I can definitely say that smoking weed is rather popular in Braila.

I’ve asked Jason if he may share contacts of his dealer, cause stuff was out of this world. He told me that his exact dealer does not work with new people, so he will be my dealer during my vacation, which was simply perfect. I wish everyone to find your own Jason in some bar of Braila.

Where to Buy Cannabis in Braila

So, how do you actually buy cannabis in Braila? Jason shared some insights. Big dealers in Braila often source their products through the darknet — using services like DrChronic or Bitpharma. They then resell the cannabis to locals and tourists. While this method is possible, it’s not really practical for short-term visitors. Navigating the darknet and waiting for a package can be complicated and time-consuming.

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 Braila.

Marijuana laws in Romania

It is important to outline that high % THC cannabis, weed, and hash are forbidden in Braila. 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 Braila for a while, so knows a lot about 4:20 movements😁. He said that strict official regulations are not so tough in practice.

What if I get caught with weed in Braila?

In practice, as Jason said - if you are 18+ and carry less than 20 grams of weed or 10 grams of hash and do not smoke in public - you should not expect any arrest. As a maximum, cops will confiscate your stuff after they ensure you are not a dealer who delivers stuff.

There are some stories about occasional cops forcing people to give them a bribe after catching someone with weed, but such cases are rare. Usually cops do not touch foreign tourists who are spending their vacation or business trip in Braila and bring money to Romania.
