Weed in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia: 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 Kuala Terengganu. 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 Kuala Terengganu.

Just finished my vacation, stayed 2 weeks in Kuala Terengganu, 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 Kuala Terengganu.

What do locals think about ganja in Kuala Terengganu

The fact that cannabis is strictly regulated by f*cking officials the government does not mean that local inhabitants of Kuala Terengganu 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 Kuala Terengganu, but even if someone notices you - this will not be treated as some crime or inappropriate behavior.

Joe 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 Kuala Terengganu 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.

What Are the Rules About Weed in Kuala Terengganu?

In Kuala Terengganu, 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 Kuala Terengganu, I met a local guy named Joe who knows a lot about how things really work with weed in Kuala Terengganu. 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 Kuala Terengganu?

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 Kuala Terengganu and bring money to Malaysia.

So where do smokers purchase weed in Kuala Terengganu?

Despite the fact that I did not have any problems with weed in Kuala Terengganu 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 Kuala Terengganu 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.
