Ganja in Bursa, Turkey - ma story

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

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

So where do smokers purchase weed in Bursa?

Despite the fact that I did not have any problems with weed in Bursa because of Joe, 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.

For the average tourist, the game has changed. You ain’t gon' find street dealers in Bursa as easy anymore. Now, it’s all about those encrypted messengers. You get the plug’s contact, check out the menu, and decide on a drop-off spot. No face-to-face meetups, just a masked package and some GPS coordinates. Pay with crypto, pick up your stash, and dip. Safe and sound. Was I glad I had Joe as my connect? Hell yeah. Didn’t have to mess with all that drama.

What do locals think about ganja in Bursa

The fact that cannabis is strictly regulated by f*cking officials the government does not mean that local inhabitants of Bursa 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 Bursa, 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 Bursa after one good joint, telling this from my own experience. Joe 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 Bursa.

I’ve asked Joe 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 Joe in some bar of Bursa.

What Are the Rules About Weed in Bursa?

In Bursa, weed with a lot of a special component called THC (the stuff that makes you feel high) is not allowed. You can’t just go to a store and buy it like in some other countries. There’s also a kind of weed that doctors can give to sick people, but it doesn’t make you feel high like the other kind.

When I was in Bursa, I met a local guy named Joe who knows a lot about how things really work with weed in Bursa. He told me that even though the rules are strict, the police aren’t always super strict about it, especially with visitors.

What if I get caught with weed in Bursa?

In practice, as Joe 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 Bursa and bring money to Turkey.
