Exploring Cannabis Scene of Ulsan: My Experience

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

So, I just touched down back home from Ulsan a couple of days ago, still got that fresh buzz in my head as I’m sparking up this joint of girl scout cookies strain. Man, Ulsan was lit — couldn't have had a better time without those dank buds keepin' me company.

Marijuana laws in South Korea

It is important to outline that high % THC cannabis, weed, and hash are forbidden in Ulsan. 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 John who has lived here in Ulsan 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 Ulsan, 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 Ulsan.

How Do People Get Weed in Ulsan?

Finding weed in Ulsan isn’t as easy as just asking someone on the street. Wholesale dealers in Ulsan buy weed through special darknet websites, but that’s a bit tricky for regular cannabis users who want to smoke, but not re-sell weed.

For the average tourist, the game has changed. You ain’t gon' find street dealers in Ulsan 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 John as my connect? Hell yeah. Didn’t have to mess with all that drama.

Local Attitudes Toward Cannabis in Ulsan

Just because cannabis is strictly regulated in Ulsan doesn’t mean the locals are strongly opposed to it. In fact, most people in Ulsan 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.

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 Ulsan 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.

Five random facts about cannabis

1. You Can Eat Cannabis Raw

Granted, it tastes a lot better when prepared with yummy edibles like brownies, bread, or cake. But cannabis can be consumed raw. One more thing is that if you eat it raw, it won’t get you high, but it will provide you with all the medicinal benefits.

2. Modern-Day Cannabis Is A Lot Stronger

We talked about this on the cannabis flower and its influence in the 60s. For one, it’s purer than the illegal “hippie weed” that was imported into the United States. And it’s also been cultivated to increase its THC content, so the high you get from marijuana today is a lot stronger than what your parents or grandparents consumed.

3. Bob Marley Was Buried With Grass

The musical star was buried with his red Gibson guitar, a cannabis bud, and a Bible open on the 23rd Psalm, which reads: “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures”. Way to go, Marley.

4. CBD

Cannabidiol (CBD) is another significant compound in cannabis, known for its therapeutic effects without causing a high.

5. Endocannabinoid System

The human body has an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that naturally interacts with cannabinoids from cannabis, playing a role in regulating mood, pain, and appetite.
