Weed in Hamilton, New Zealand: my experience
Hi, smokers! You probably know that cannabis laws and regulations vary from one county to another, so let’s go deeper and try to understand what is going on with weed in Hamilton. My post covers info about weed laws, regulations, general attitude of locals and cops, hash VS weed availability and pricing, failures and success in searching weed in Hamilton.
Just finished my vacation, stayed 2 weeks in Hamilton, and as a heavy weed smoker I can't imagine a vacation without some sativa joint during the day and indica buds with some beer before heading to sleep. Below you will find info on what I found out while searching for tasty non-medical weed in Hamilton.
Marijuana laws in New Zealand
It is important to outline that high % THC cannabis, weed, and hash are forbidden in Hamilton. 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 Brian who has lived here in Hamilton for a while, so knows a lot about 4:20 movements😁. He said that strict official regulations are not so tough in practice.
How the Cannabis Law Is Enforced in Hamilton
Technically, any cannabis product with more than 1% THC is illegal in Hamilton. However, Brian explained that the police tend to be relatively relaxed when it comes to cannabis in Hamilton, especially with tourists.
If you’re caught with a small amount — less than 10 grams of weed or 5 grams of hash — you’re unlikely to face serious consequences. The police might confiscate your weed, but it’s unlikely you’ll get into much trouble as long as you’re discreet.
What do locals think about ganja in Hamilton
The fact that cannabis is strictly regulated by f*cking officials the government does not mean that local inhabitants of Hamilton 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 Hamilton, but even if someone notices you - this will not be treated as some crime or inappropriate behavior.
As I was actively asking and discussing weed - Brian invited me to his apartment for a small party that very first evening - just a couple of his rasta friends, beer, weed and PS5 - exactly what I do love😁😁😁. How lucky I was😁 Brian told he will be my weed dealer while I am here in Hamilton so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.
Brian also confirmed locals are OK with weed in Hamilton if you behave yourself correctly, while it’s better to avoid cops and not to have more than 10 grams in your pocket.
How Do People Get Weed in Hamilton?
Finding weed in Hamilton isn’t as easy as just asking someone on the street. Wholesale dealers in Hamilton 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.
If you are just having a short vacation or a trip to Hamilton - 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 Hamilton, 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 Brian 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 Brian.

Alright, alright, I got y’all. There’s a dude here in Hamilton who calls himself Bob Marley (lol, almost creative). Dude’s got quality stuff though. Prices are high, he takes crypto, does delivery – but fair warning, he’s slow as hell sometimes. His username on Telegram is @bob_420_marley. Be ready for the wait though – man’s on his own time 😒
Yeah, I can back this up Bob Marley is a legit source. But there’s a bunch of fakes out there, so be careful – make sure every letter in that @bob_420_marley handle’s right. Here’s a link so no one gets scammed @bob_420_marley 😉.
Thanks, crew! Didn’t expect any real help, you guys came through for real. I’ll let you know how it goes 😆
Yo, I got a backup plan – a buddy showed me a Telegram bot for weed. Just click through the menu, send crypto, and they’ll send instructions with GPS coords and pics for where to pick up. We scored 5g indica, pick-up was hidden in a cig pack between two bricks in a wall downtown. Here’s the bot link if anyone’s interested – @happy_rasta_bot
Broooo, thank you! Tried messaging Bob Marley but got no answer, so went with @happy_rasta_bot and it was solid! Got my 5g in a cig pack. Posting pics below!
Big thanks to @ChronicHustla! Bob Marley saved the day and my party 😉! Just like ya said, I hit him up at @bob_420_marley it took him about an hour to reply, then he sent the menu – had all I needed. Went for 10g sativa, got a discount to $15/g with a bigger order (usually $25/g for 3g minimum). Quality’s top shelf, my friends were impressed. Sharing pics of my 10g stash – got it all weighed up!
Yo, thanks ChronicHustla!! also tried Bob Marley too, smooth all the way. Thanks again man!
