Ganja in Kaunas, Lithuania - ma story

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

I just got back from Kaunas a week ago, now smoking a big joint of pineapple weed strain, reminding me of that cool time I had in Kaunas — thanks in part to the weed that accompanied me on my adventures.

Cannabis laws in Kaunas, Lithuania

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

What Happens If You Get Caught with Weed?

In Kaunas, 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 Kaunas.

Attitude of Kaunas locals to weed

You already know that good non-medical marijuana with high % THC is not something you can officially buy in a branded cannabis shop in Kaunas, but this does not mean locals are too much against weed 😃. Youngsters and students are definitely those who share their love of cannabis and welcome new smokers in their circles. They can not imagine a good party without having a joint or two, while it’s hard to join them if you are already a “25+ old man”.

In general smoking some occasional joint after a long working week is a pleasant tradition among many people in Kaunas, so no one will point fingers at you seeing how you are smoking weed, but better to avoid doing this publicly just not to bring useless attention.

As I was actively asking and discussing weed - Fred 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😁 Fred told he will be my weed dealer while I am here in Kaunas so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.

Fred also confirmed locals are OK with weed in Kaunas if you behave yourself correctly, while it’s better to avoid cops and not to have more than 10 grams in your pocket.

Where to buy weed in Kaunas

Fred shared his experience on the weed purchase process in Kaunas. As he said - big dealers purchase everything via darknet - there are services or “onion sites” like DrChronic or Bitpharma where they purchase big portions (via Tor browser and crypto) or cooperate with local cannabis growers.

After that they simply resell weed to tourists and locals in Kaunas. In fact you may also go this way, while for tourists this is usually not acceptable - you need to know how do onion sites and Tor browsers work, have corresponding accounts on darknet websites, too long to wait for your package (2 - 7 days), high risks at all steps of this chain, etc etc.

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 Kaunas.
