Exploring Cannabis Scene of Vung Tau: My Experience

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

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

What Do People in Vung Tau Think About Weed?

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

Brian 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 Vung Tau 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.

So where do smokers purchase weed in Vung Tau?

Despite the fact that I did not have any problems with weed in Vung Tau because of Brian, 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.

If you are just having a short vacation or a trip to Vung Tau - 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 Vung Tau, 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 Brian 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 Brian.

Marijuana laws in Vietnam

It is important to outline that high % THC cannabis, weed, and hash are forbidden in Vung Tau. 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 Vung Tau for a while, so knows a lot about 4:20 movements😁. He said that strict official regulations are not so tough in practice.

How the Cannabis Law Is Enforced in Vung Tau

Technically, any cannabis product with more than 1% THC is illegal in Vung Tau. However, Brian explained that the police tend to be relatively relaxed when it comes to cannabis in Vung Tau, especially with tourists.

If you’re caught with a small amount — less than 10 grams of weed or 5 grams of hash — you’re unlikely to face serious consequences. The police might confiscate your weed, but it’s unlikely you’ll get into much trouble as long as you’re discreet.

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. You Can’t Lethally Overdose On Cannabis

Don’t get us wrong. You can overdose on cannabis, which means consuming more than the recommended amount. What it means is that it’s practically impossible for you to consume the amount of cannabis it would take to kill a person.

4. CBD

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

5. Terpenes

The distinctive smell of cannabis comes from terpenes, aromatic compounds that also contribute to the plant's effects.
