Ganja in Pontianak, Indonesia - ma story

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

Just finished my vacation, stayed 2 weeks in Pontianak, 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 Pontianak.

So where do smokers purchase weed in Pontianak?

Despite the fact that I did not have any problems with weed in Pontianak because of Jason, 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 Pontianak 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 Jason as my connect? Hell yeah. Didn’t have to mess with all that drama.

What Are the Rules About Weed in Pontianak?

In Pontianak, 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 Pontianak, I met a local guy named Jason who knows a lot about how things really work with weed in Pontianak. 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 Pontianak, 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 Pontianak.

Local Attitudes Toward Cannabis in Pontianak

Just because cannabis is strictly regulated in Pontianak doesn’t mean the locals are strongly opposed to it. In fact, most people in Pontianak 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 - Jason 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😁 Jason told he will be my weed dealer while I am here in Pontianak so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.

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