Exploring Cannabis Scene of Sejong: My Experience

Hello, everyone! Today, I’m excited to share my recent experience with cannabis in Sejong, South Korea. 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 Sejong.

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

What Are the Rules About Weed in Sejong?

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

All products with high THC (substance in cannabis that makes you high) above 1% are strictly forbidden for distribution. But in fact according to Alex cops are rather relaxed about weed in Sejong 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 Sejong - 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.

What Do People in Sejong Think About Weed?

Even though weed is against the rules, a lot of people in Sejong don’t mind it too much. They just think you should be polite and not smoke it in front of everyone.

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

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

Where to Buy Cannabis in Sejong

So, how do you actually buy cannabis in Sejong? Alex shared some insights. Big dealers in Sejong 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 Sejong 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 Sejong 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 Alex as my connection so I didn’t have to go through all this hassle.
