Blazin' in Opole, Poland - My Story

Yo, what's good? Today, I’m gonna spill the tea on my trip to the wild streets of Opole, Poland. 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 Opole.

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

Local Attitudes Toward Cannabis in Opole

Just because cannabis is strictly regulated in Opole doesn’t mean the locals are strongly opposed to it. In fact, most people in Opole don’t seem to care too much about marijuana use. Of course, it’s wise to follow some basic rules, like not smoking in public. But even if someone notices you, it’s unlikely they’ll see it as a big deal.

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

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

Cannabis laws in Opole, Poland

It is important to note that cannabis, weed, and hash are prohibited in Opole. 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 Simon who moved to Opole 3 years ago, so he knows the local drug scene. According to Simon - 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 Opole, 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 Opole.

Where to Buy Cannabis in Opole

So, how do you actually buy cannabis in Opole? Simon shared some insights. Big dealers in Opole 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.

For tourists, the process of obtaining weed in Opole 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 Opole 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.

Five random facts about cannabis

1. Not All Weed Gets You High

Due to its illegal status, cannabis is one of the drugs with the most nicknames out there. Weed, ganja, pot, grass, dope, reefer, hash, and even sandwiches if you’re a How I Met Your Mother fan are just a few of the slang terms that have become a part of the beloved cannabis culture.

3. 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!
