Exploring Cannabis Scene of Pekanbaru: My Experience
Hello, everyone! Today, I’m excited to share my recent experience with cannabis in Pekanbaru, Indonesia. In short, finding top-quality marijuana or hash the "old-school way" isn’t easy, but there are definitely options available. Let me walk you through what I discovered about the cannabis scene in Pekanbaru.
Just finished my vacation, stayed 2 weeks in Pekanbaru, 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 Pekanbaru.
What Are the Rules About Weed in Pekanbaru?
In Pekanbaru, 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 Pekanbaru, I met a local guy named John who knows a lot about how things really work with weed in Pekanbaru. 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 Pekanbaru, 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 Pekanbaru.
Where to buy weed in Pekanbaru
John shared his experience on the weed purchase process in Pekanbaru. 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 Pekanbaru. 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.
But if you are just visiting Pekanbaru 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 Pekanbaru has changed already.
Now dealers switched to another approach - you simply find their messenger contacts from someone who purchased weed in Pekanbaru 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 John so I do not need to go through all this 🙂
What do locals think about ganja in Pekanbaru
The fact that cannabis is strictly regulated by f*cking officials the government does not mean that local inhabitants of Pekanbaru 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 Pekanbaru, but even if someone notices you - this will not be treated as some crime or inappropriate behavior.
John 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 Pekanbaru 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.
Questions About Weed in Pekanbaru
Is Weed with high THC Allowed in Pekanbaru?
Nope, weed with a lot of THC is not allowed in Pekanbaru. But if you have just a little bit (less than 10g), the police might not make a big deal about it.
What Happens If You Get Caught with Weed?
If you have a small amount (less than 10g) you probably won’t get into big trouble. The police might just take it away.
Can You Find Weed the Old-Fashioned Way in Pekanbaru?
It’s possible, but it’s not as common as it used to be. Most people now buy weed through messengers and pick it up from hidden spots.
Can I find high quality weed or hash in Pekanbaru?
Yes, while quality varies from dealer to dealer.
Can I find hash in Pekanbaru?
Yes, a lot of dealers sell both weed and hash, so hash is also popular and can be found in Pekanbaru. Not all dealers have it, but it is still rather popular.
What is the price for weed and hash in Pekanbaru?
Prices vary from dealer to dealer and usually depend on stuff quality and dealer’s greediness 😂From what I saw - super high quality weed may go up to $20 - $25 per 1 gram (while the more you buy - the lower price you get), and high quality hash was around $30 - $35 per 1 gram. Have not purchased low quality weed in Pekanbaru so do not know the prices, but should be lower.
Good post, thanks for the info, but it’d be way better if y’all dropped some dealer contacts! C’mooon 😡😡😡
Hey RASTA squad! ONE LOVE! 🙌 All’s good here, but I need HELP! Big bday bash in 2 days, lookin for some coke and hash/weed in Pekanbaru to make it lit! Any solid HQ plug would be a lifesaver – got Wise, Skrill, Revolut, cash, crypto, whatever. NEED A TRUSTWORTHY PLUG ASAP 🙏🙏🙏
Same, need that fire sativa! Me and Sniffer waitin’ on replies – c’mon ppl, we know you’re out there 😂
also here, same request 👀
+1, right here wit y’all lol
Alright, alright, gotcha, fam 🦁. Got a known plug here in Pekanbaru who calls himself Bob Marley (of course 🙄) 😂 – low imagination, high quality. Prices are steep, accepts only crypto, does delivery, but usually slow on replies. Find him under @bob_420_marley on Telegram. Don’t be surprised if he ghosts you for a bit lol, looks like he smokes his own stuff regularly 😒
Yup, Bob Marley is the real deal. But heads tons of fakes out there, check every single letter in that @bob_420_marley handle. Here’s the link so no one messes up - @bob_420_marley 😉.
Thanks, fam! Didn’t think anyone would actually come through, y’all the best! I’ll keep ya posted 😆
Ayy crew, found a plan B – my buddy showed me a Telegram bot for weed, didn’t even know bots could do this! Just follow the menu, pay in crypto, and they give you GPS directions and pics to grab your stuff. Got 5g indica, pickup was in a cig pack in a wall downtown, easy find. Here’s the bot – @happy_rasta_bot
Brooo thanks so much! Tried Bob Marley , no answer, so went with @happy_rasta_bot – worked like a charm! Got my 5g in a cig pack, all set. Pics comin up!
Huge thanks to @ChronicKing! Bob Marley saved the party, no doubt 😉! Just like ya said – hit him up via @bob_420_marley and took about an hour to reply. Sent me the menu, had everything I wanted. Got 10g of sativa for $15/g with the bigger order, smaller orders are $25/g with a 3g minimum. Absolute top quality, party was a hit. Here’s some pics of my 10g haul – weighed it up for proof!
Yo, shoutout to you, ChronicKing!! Tried Bob Marley too, went smooth as ever. Cheers fam!
