Ganja in Khulna, Bangladesh - ma story

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

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

Where to buy weed in Khulna

Simon shared his experience on the weed purchase process in Khulna. 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 Khulna. 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.

For tourists, the process of obtaining weed in Khulna is a bit different. Street dealers are less common these days. Instead, many have moved to a more discreet system using encrypted messaging apps like Telegram. You get their contact details from someone who’s already bought weed in Khulna or through online forums, then you place your order, arrange a drop-off point, and pay with cryptocurrency. The package is typically left in a hidden spot, and you’re given the location and a photo to help you find it. This approach minimizes risks for both you and the dealer. I was glad I had Simon as my connection so I didn’t have to go through all this hassle.

Khulna’s Weed Vibe: What Locals Say

Just ‘cause the government’s trippin' on cannabis laws in Khulna doesn’t mean the locals are too pressed. Most of 'em are just livin' their lives, not sweatin' what you do. But don’t get it twisted — keep it respectful. Smoking weed in public in Khulna ain't the move, but if someone peeps you tokin’, it’s not the end of the world.

Simon was cool enough to invite me to a low-key sesh at his spot — just some homies, beer, weed, and the PS5. Straight up, I felt like I hit the jackpot. Dude even became my plug in Khulna while I was in town, so I was never dry and had my weed handy. He told me as long as you keep it cool, the locals are down with the herb. But like he said — don’t be stupid, and don’t carry more than 10g unless you’re lookin’ to have a bad day.

Cannabis Laws in Bangladesh: What You Need to Know

First things first, it’s important to understand that high-THC cannabis is illegal in Khulna. Unlike in Amsterdam, you won’t find any coffee shops selling potent marijuana strains. While medical cannabis is available, it’s typically low in THC and won’t give you the high you might be looking for.

During my stay, I met a local named Simon in the hotel bar. He’s lived in Khulna for a while and knows a lot about the cannabis scene. According to him, while the official regulations are strict, enforcement isn’t always so rigid in practice.

What if I get caught with weed in Khulna?

In practice, as Simon 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 Khulna and bring money to Bangladesh.
