Weed in Rach Gia, Vietnam: 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 Rach Gia. 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 Rach Gia.

I just got back from Rach Gia 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 Rach Gia — thanks in part to the cannabis that accompanied me on my adventures.

Where to buy weed in Rach Gia

John shared his experience on the weed purchase process in Rach Gia. 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 Rach Gia. 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.

If you are just having a short vacation or a trip to Rach Gia - purchasing weed via wholesale darknet websites is not an option. Looking for dealers on the streets and in parks is still something you may do to find some weed in Rach Gia, but more and more dealers are shifting to online orders done via messengers and payments in bitcoins instead of cash. This simply protects them from ever being caught by cops. Crypto payments are anonymous and delivery is done to selected location without any personal meetings, so both you and the dealer are secured from any possible consequences.

This was a surprise for me cause I am more old school and just “heard something about crypto”. While now all youngsters (who are usually a target group for cannabis dealers) have crypto wallets so dealers simply follow the trend. I think dealers are losing money anyway because not all clients know crypto, but John commented that nowadays if you do not use crypto - you 100% have a friend who uses it, so you may just send him money from card and he does crypto transaction for you. After that I remembered I also have such a friend, so I agreed with John.

Rach Gia’s Weed Vibe: What Locals Say

Just ‘cause the government’s trippin' on cannabis laws in Rach Gia doesn’t mean the locals are too pressed. Most of 'em are just livin' their lives, not sweatin' what you do. But don’t get it twisted — keep it respectful. Smoking weed in public in Rach Gia ain't the move, but if someone peeps you tokin’, it’s not the end of the world.

On my first night in Rach Gia, John invited me to a small gathering at his place — just a few friends, some beer, weed, and a PlayStation 5. It was exactly my kind of evening! I was fortunate to have met John, who became my go-to person for cannabis during my stay in Rach Gia. He assured me that as long as you’re respectful and avoid drawing attention, the locals are generally okay with cannabis use. But again, it’s best not to carry more than 10 grams on you.

What Are the Rules About Weed in Rach Gia?

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

Laws and regulations of weed in Rach Gia

All products with high THC (substance in cannabis that makes you high) above 1% are strictly forbidden for distribution. But in fact according to John cops are rather relaxed about weed in Rach Gia and rarely touch tourists, but this always depends on the exact cop and whether he likes your face or not.

So theoretically if you do not smoke in public and get caught with not more than 10g of weed or 5g of hash in Rach Gia - you should not get arrested. Cops 👮may take your stuff and after some conversation should get you free, but better to avoid all this stress anyway.
