Blazin' in Long Xuyen, Vietnam - My Story

Yo, what's good? Today, I’m gonna spill the tea on my trip to the wild streets of Long Xuyen, Vietnam. Spoiler alert — if you’re lookin' for that fire weed, it ain't as easy as rollin' up to a spot like in Amsterdam. But trust, you can still catch a vibe. Here's how I got down with the herb in Long Xuyen.

I just got back from Long Xuyen a couple of days ago, and as I sit here enjoying a small joint of white widow, I can’t help but reflect on the great time I had in Long Xuyen — thanks in part to the cannabis that accompanied me on my adventures.

What Are the Rules About Weed in Long Xuyen?

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

What Happens If You Get Caught with Weed?

In Long Xuyen, 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 Long Xuyen.

Attitude of Long Xuyen 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 Long Xuyen, 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 Long Xuyen, 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.

The overall attitude of locals to weed is rather relaxed, so you may even feel yourself home in Long Xuyen after one good joint, telling this from my own experience. Sam 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 Long Xuyen.

I’ve asked Sam 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 Sam in some bar of Long Xuyen.

Where to Buy Cannabis in Long Xuyen

So, how do you actually buy cannabis in Long Xuyen? Sam shared some insights. Big dealers in Long Xuyen often source their products through the darknet — using services like DrChronic or Bitpharma. They then resell the cannabis to locals and tourists. While this method is possible, it’s not really practical for short-term visitors. Navigating the darknet and waiting for a package can be complicated and time-consuming.

But if you are just visiting Long Xuyen for several days (or up to 2 weeks) and need some weed - dealing with wholesale darknet websites looks like not the best way to spend your time. This is the point where local dealers rush into this game. But if you think you can easily find street dealers with good stuff nowadays - do not hurry so much, the situation with weed in Long Xuyen has changed already.

Now dealers switched to another approach - you simply find their messenger contacts from someone who purchased weed in Long Xuyen already or on some forum comments, choose stuff from menu, discuss drop off area (this may be some hotel or approximate area), after you pay in crypto (yes, now this is #1 payment option for all “dark” payments) - and stuff gets delivered and dropped where you agree. Package with weed is usually masked, you get a photo and coordinates where to pick up your stuff. As a result - no official payments and no meetings in person (you choose just the approximate package drop area, not the exact place where you meet) - so both you and the dealer stay secure and anonymous. This was a little surprise for me, at home I simply buy directly from my trusted dealer via cache, but we have what we have. How happy I was that I met Sam so I do not need to go through all this 🙂

Five random facts about cannabis

1. Modern-Day Cannabis Is A Lot Stronger

We talked about this on the cannabis flower and its influence in the 60s. For one, it’s purer than the illegal “hippie weed” that was imported into the United States. And it’s also been cultivated to increase its THC content, so the high you get from marijuana today is a lot stronger than what your parents or grandparents consumed.

2. California Banned First

A century ago, California was the first state in the United States to ban cannabis. This is a bit ironic when we look at the fun fact above. But it looks like Cali learned its lesson!
