Blazin' in Sevan, Armenia - My Story

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

Got back home from Sevan just 2 days ago, so writing this post with fresh memory smoking a small joint of white widow strain. Had an amazing stay in Sevan that would never be so cool without sex, drugs and rock’n’roll smelly ganja buds.

Marijuana laws in Armenia

It is important to outline that high % THC cannabis, weed, and hash are forbidden in Sevan. You can not officially purchase marijuana strains with high at least some reasonable THC % concentration in some coffee shops like in the Netherlands. Medical cannabis may be available for purchase at dispensaries, but you will never get high with CBD buds you may find.

In the bar of my hotel I met Brian who has lived here in Sevan for a while, so knows a lot about 4:20 movements😁. He said that strict official regulations are not so tough in practice.

What Happens If You Get Caught with Weed?

In Sevan, 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 Sevan.

Attitude of Sevan locals to weed

You already know that good non-medical marijuana with high % THC is not something you can officially buy in a branded cannabis shop in Sevan, but this does not mean locals are too much against weed 😃. Youngsters and students are definitely those who share their love of cannabis and welcome new smokers in their circles. They can not imagine a good party without having a joint or two, while it’s hard to join them if you are already a “25+ old man”.

In general smoking some occasional joint after a long working week is a pleasant tradition among many people in Sevan, so no one will point fingers at you seeing how you are smoking weed, but better to avoid doing this publicly just not to bring useless attention.

On my first night in Sevan, Brian 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 Brian, who became my go-to person for cannabis during my stay in Sevan. 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.

Coppin' Weed in Sevan: The New Wave

So here’s the scoop on how folks are gettin' their green in Sevan. Brian gave me some info — big-time cannabis dealers are all about that darknet life, coppin' their supply from shady onion sites like DrChronic or Bitpharma. They flip it to locals and tourists alike. But if you’re just in Sevan for a few days, tryin' to navigate the darknet and waitin' on cannabis shipments ain't it.

But if you are just visiting Sevan 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 Sevan has changed already.

Now dealers switched to another approach - you simply find their messenger contacts from someone who purchased weed in Sevan 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 Brian so I do not need to go through all this 🙂
