Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 4.5
Legislation: Technically smoking pot is illegal in cambodia. However given that the cambodians use it in cooking, restaurants use it on pizzas, and corruption is rampant it generally is not a problem so long as your sensible. Remember this is a very poor country, and people may be desperate for a sale or (other extreme) split a bribe..
Law Enforcement: In area’s like the Lake side you will have almost no problem with police as the local bars and guesthouses bribe the police to create a sort of ‘Green Light District’ in the middle of Phnom Penh.
Otherwise generally you will barely ever see any police around, just dont smoke in a non-tourist public area. Be sensible.
Where to buy Marijuana in Phnom Penh, Cambodia : You can almost always buy weed in the backpacker’s district, or by the lake side. as you make your way towards the restraunts on the water’s edge, you will most likely be confronted by 2 or 3 men asking you “you want joint?” by joint they just mean weed. prices go about 2$ for a decent bag. if you pay them more they will remember your kindness and deliver to parties or to city addresses for you
and another reporter added: “While living there I found the best place to buy from are the happy pizza shops along the lakeside. You can straight out ask or if your’e a little sketched out try asking them for rolling papers and usually they will offer. The stuff sold here is slightly better than any of the stuff you will buy off a street dealer or tuk-tuk/moto driver, but there is always them.
If you’re up for a good night go down to the Lake side where you will almost be surrounded by dealers asking you if you want to buy all sorts of drugs from weed to opium. They are usually found smack in the middle of the lake side main road and they will be more discrete before sunset and openly deal after sunset.
WARNING: When dealing with street dealers make sure you have the money you want to pay in cash in your pocket or something. The street dealers will get very close to you and ignore your personal space. So its a BAD idea to take out your wallet to pay because as soon as you give your dealer the money for the weed someone else will try and grab your wallet out of your hands. I learnt that the hard way.
Another good place to buy weed is also at the lakeside at the bar ‘Magic Sponge’ just ask the guy at the bar for a joint and he will roll you one or give you one he’s already rolled. There nice and big joints but have more baccy than normal (hey the guy has to make a living) if you go when its not busy he will probably roll one and join you on his ps2. Great guy :)”
Phnom Penh Marijuana Prices: Buying off street dealers/tuk-tuk drivers and moto drivers its important to know you can bargain. If your good you can get a medium sized bag (I estimate about a 1/4) for $2-5USD but thats if you can bargain well. Dont buy for more than that off a street-dealer your getting ripped off.
Buying at the pizza places costs a little more because the weed is better so you can buy in bags of $10USD or $15USD the bags again look like they contain about a 1/4 but you never know how much your getting unless you weigh but I doubt any cambodian dealer will care if its under/over weight.
At the Magic Sponge joints go for $1USD 🙂
Phnom Penh Marijuana brands: 4 Months and I never saw a different strain. When buying off the street dealers your probably getting ‘Thai’ but I’m not sure the name of the stain. I can tell you it gives a good head high and if you smoke enough will keep you from walking. It looks worse than it is.
More information: Weed Is very easy to get in Cambodia so if you’re scared of a deal just pull out its fine there are plenty of other dealers in the city who will give you the same stuff for the same price. It’s safest to buy at night because it’s in the open and there will be other tourists walking around you, but during the day they will most likely take you down some back alleys, which scared me shitless lol!
You can buy your rolling papers all over the lakeside but only cig’s are available there for tobacco. If you want rolling tobacco or a pipe you have to go to one of the markets (russian markets your best bet) and find the stall that sells shit loads of different cigarettes’ and they will have rolling tobacco and pipes you can buy.
If you do decide to go to the lakeside dont take any of the moto drivers/ tuk-tuk drivers that are there waiting for tourists. If they deal they will almost definitely try to rip you off. But worse is most of the drivers there are high on Ketamine or what they call ‘Yama-yama’. So dont get a ride till your out of the lakeside area (it will be clear where it ends when you get there) and get ready for an extremely wild motorbike ride back to where your staying. Always check to see if your driver is high haha 🙂

Legislation: Honestly smoking is probably illegal thanks to the UN and our good old DEA, but you have a very small chance of getting caught. This country has legal happy pizza parlors so if there is legislation against weed it is futile.
Law enforcement: The only cops that are in Cambodia guard banks and malls. They don’t bust happy pizza and you can smoke just about anywhere. I smoked on the street, in shops, and rolled blunts in front of convenience stores. Don’t worry, be happy….
Where to buy marijuana: The obvious place to go for pot is the happy pizza parlors(weed pizza). The first place you go will likely have shitty weed full of leaves and seeds and dry. This weed sux and I am pissed I smoked it. Go around and search for better shit at other pizza places. I found one place that gave me amazing green buds with crystals all over it. If you find this place you will understand what I’m talking about, its good shit and it will get you baked and you will be able to get alot for barely any money.
Marijuana prices: 10 bucks for about a half ounce in a standard bag size that all the pizza places use. They will charge the same for the best shit you can find or the seedy dry shit. IT IS CHEAP!!!!!
Marijuana brands: The only brands I came across is shit seedy weed and good green sticky weed. Probably is grown around the area.
More information: Get a tuk tuk for like a dollar and just smoke and drive around. This place is awesome, alcohol is cheap too. Go see Angkor Watt baked and you will have a great time. Just an overall perfect place to smoke, by far the best spot in South East Asia.

Legislation: Import, export, send, make, buy, sell, expose to sell, offer, prescript, keep […] or deal drugs, even if for free: 5 to 15 years of jail and R$ 500 to R$ 1500 fine.
Although pro-Marijuana campaigns are ongoing in Brazil, Marijuana is illegal in all Brazil, and so is any related action: smoking, cultivating, purchasing, etc. However, there is substituting mandatory rehabilitation for users.
Law Enforcement: Police are intolerant, but can be persuaded with a good incentive…. or, as our Brazilian reporter said:” always watch for the police. They’ll want to find you doing something to get some money out of you!”.
So, to sum things up – the police are quite eager to put their hands on you and lock you up, but it is nothing a few American dollars cant fix.
Where to Buy Marijuana in Sao Paulo: Weed is not legal in Brazil but you can buy it almost anywhere. You should also visit the “favelas” – once inside a “favela” you can find weed in almost any street or “viela”. But that’s not a safe place at all to buy or consume, although you’ll see a lot of people doing it…). A safer way to purchase would be asking other tourists who have already been in Brazil for a while.

another reporter added: “illegal- but everyone smokes on the beach, and many hawkers are offering varying qualities of brick. mostly brown and shit- as well as cocaine and xtc..”

Where to Buy Marijuana in Rio de Janeiro : Weed is not legal in Brazil but you can buy it almost anywhere. You should also visit the “favelas” – once inside a “favela” you can find weed in almost any street or “viela”. But that’s not a safe place at all to buy or consume, although you’ll see a lot of people doing it…).

There a few places much cooler to go and enjoy yourself (and even score some good weed) like Santa Teresa and Lapa.
another reporter added: “friendly brazilian smokers is best…
but everywhere on the beach is available from venders and hippies selling jewelry…..”
Rio de Janeiro Marijuana Prices: Marijuana is very cheap in Brazil, and Rio Marijuana prices reflect it. Weed prices range from USD 0.50 ( in the favelas; low quality weed ), USD 4.00 ( medium quality; not bad; from dealers ), to USD 15.00 ( very good quality; few dealers).
another reporter added: “2-5 R$ per gram
1R$= 2 US$”
Brands: Brazilian Marijuana is usually of poor quality and low potency. Finding high quality weed is rare, and costs much more. The hash is plentiful.
The best ones come from Colombia and Paraguay. Brazilian weed is in fact of lower quality, although one can find some good surprises now and then.

If the police catch you and you dont give them money. You will either be fined, arrested or spanked.

Legislation: Marijuana is ilegal in Porto Alegre, although it is widely used by its alternative youth on public parks.
Law enforcement: Lax, they usually will not fine, arrest you, or even care if you are not doing it in a crowded place, in front of cops or having arguments with the cops. Remember: laws in brazil are very transformed, depending on the cop that is enforcing them, it may change a lot but usually they will not do anything other than confiscating your weed.
Where to buy marijuana: I will not write the name of my dealer here nor tell you some drug dealing point but you should talk to people on clubs, they usually know/use/sell it, out of that skaters on Parque Marinha do Brasil’s (Park Brazilian Navy) half-pipes would usually sell or have some to spare if you are a nice guy/girl :). (specially if you are a foreigner)
another very easy place to buy not so cheap weed, but generally good is PARQUE DA REDENÇÃO or FARROUPILHA near the sports area. There are always at least 2 drug dealers, but you have to be smart in order they don’t sell you pieces of tree – you have to see and smell it – VERY QUICKLY – to check it.
Marijuana prices: Vary a lot, depending on the quantity you are purchasing, getting a kilo for R$700(350 dollars) would be fair, as would pay R$3(1,5 dollars) for a gram, its up to how much do you buy, where do you buy and whom did you buy it from.
Marijuana brands: Also might vary a lot. Professional dealers usually dont have the best stuff (hence, is the cheapest) since it is grown in large quantities and exported from other states, they are likely to have something from schwag to a low quality Chronic. Buying from non-professional dealers in small quanitites is most likely be fine homegrown, but also a bit more expensive (or for free if they are your friends).
More information: If your are a minor or a tourist you will probably have no trouble, but you might be required to pay a little bribe on the cops. Marijuana its usually called Bיque (you say it becky), Baseado (bahseeahdoo) or Maconha.
Have a safe trip 😉 (literally) and be sure to visit the sweet alternative clubs in our town.

Law enforcement: fees or public services
Where to buy marijuana: 1) University Square (Praחa Universitבria) Talk wiht the guys who take care of the cars in the street (it’s common in Brazil). Ask for a litlle (10 or 20 reais). If you want a good amount order for this guys for you take in another day or time.Try to go with a brazilian friend (best hours: 6 to 10 pm)
2)”Ricado Paranhos” Avenue. Choose a bar with a lot of people and ask for the guys who takes care of the cars arround the bar in the streets. The same procidment to ask and buy.(the best times:10pm until 2 am)
3)Celso’s Bar (in West Sector). The same procidment (with the guys who take care of cars)(the best times:7pm until 1:00am)
Marijuana prices: 10 reais (2 cigarretes)
20 reais (4 cigarretes)
50 reais (25 grams)
100 reais(50 grams)
Marijuana brands: The quality is not bad because Goiבs is a important point in the drug’s route. They usually came from Paraguai. But in the streets is hard to find something good. Try to order a good amount and ask for the good one ( in brazil the people call “veneno” the good one. “Veneno” means “poison”.)

Marijuana is proibitted all over Brazil. It’s hard to get in trouble using weed in this city or in any place donw south. But sometimes we have stupid cops, be careful. The new legislation is better for the drug user, also for the grower, that now is not considered a drug dealer dependind on the amout of plants. Growing still a silent movement that you can’t see, but you know it happens.
Law enforcement: The year of 2006 started with a new country legislation that drug users will not be considered a criminal. It’s considered an offense, and you pay a fine. Be careful with big amounts in the car, because nation wide we have police stops with search for guns and big amouts of drugs. The three south states are the best for weed lovers because the cops are more gentle with the situation.
Where to buy marijuana in Florianopolis: Florianpolis is a weed city! There is a strong surf culture and among with that a lot of people smoke it. Nobody wants to be cauth by cops, but you can see people somking it all over the place. Downtown is problaly the worst place to somke. To buy weed you got to ask thet right people. Go to the beach and ask some surfer, you can buy cheap weed on the ‘favelas’ (poor hills) but don’t go there if you are a foreing. Althoug violence in the south of Brazil is A LOT better then the far north, the poor alleys can be dangerous as big drug dealers have always heavy ammo.
Florianopolis marijuana prices: Regular (sometimes poor weed, somtimes ok) 100 grams – U$50
Skunk (go to the rich people) 1 gram – U$20 or 25
Hydro (hard to find, try the richest again..) 1 gram – U$ 30 to 40
Brands: There is a lot of weed going on in Florianpolis and it’s a matter of knowing the right people. Musicians, artists and surfers love the ganja!!!!!!
Weed from brazil is very good quality indeed. in the north states we have the “manga rosa”, “racha-coco”, “cabeחa de nego” e “cabrobr”. also the weed which comes from mato grosso and mato grosso do sul states are very good. but here in south the biggest quantity comes from paraguay, and paraguay’s weed is very bad. is not good idea for foreigners in any part of the world look for marijuana on the ghettos, but here these places offer very good weed.
Enjoy Brazil’s coolest place!
More information: Some friends of mine had been cauth smoking weed in Florianpolis and the cops here just let them go. Some of my friends from Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, had been caught and had been in big trouble, they take you to the police department and you have to give them money so they let you go.

Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 4-5 for Brazilians, 1 for Americans
Legislation: Illegal. In the highly unlikely event you do something that would cause the police to need to search you, be prepared to offer a fine on the spot. Police do not mess with tourists and generally are quite aloof.
Import, export, send, make, buy, sell, expose to sell, offer, prescript, keep […] or deal drugs, even if for free: 5 to 15 years of jail and R$ 500 to R$ 1500 fine.
Law enforcement: In general, Brasilians don’t have to worry about harassment from police about weed, or not nearly as bad as Americans. If you American and get caught with just a nug you better be prepared to pay the cops off. You do not want to go to jail in Brasil. I wouldnt say that the cops are corrupt in a mean and harmfull way, however, being a cop in Brazil means making very little. So be prepared to either pay as little as 20 Reals on the spot, or be taken to your atm and all your money taken out.
Lax. Some people smoke on the beach, but are quiet about it. Do not walk around on the streets smoking or inside clubs. Stick with beach and hotel room. Better yet, rent an apartment.
Where to buy marijuana: -Beach in front of Hotel Rio Othon. Chat with your chair guy rental guy or the friendly girls.
-Terra Atlantico Cafe in front of Club Help in the evening. Again chat with the friendly girls who will likely introduce you to a woman vendor selling gum, candy, and cigarettes.
-Meia Pataca Cafe talking to the friendly girls.
Note: These friendly girls are garotas de programma (or postitutes) The scene for this is quite different than in the US and very legal with a different societal veiw. Do not deal directly with groups of young guys selling for safety sake.
If you cant find Marijuana in rio (copacabana) then just stop trying. Just try walking along the beach and you will get asked verbally and non verbally. Look for rasta lookin dudes smokin weed and just make eye contact. Theres always ppl on the near the beach selling all kinds of trinkets, look for the guys selling wooden pipes and other obvious smoking devices. Beware though, I was always not told to purchase weed from ppl at the beach, as sometimes they work with the cops. They will sell you the weed, then run and tell the cops you have weed on you, the cops bribe you, and give a cut to the street guy. I personally was staying at hostel and gave an old guy some money and he would go into the favelas (ghetto) and get it for me.
Marijuana prices: CHEAP! To be honest, I dont know what the prices are. Brasil is where I first started smoking and I didnt have a good idea what a ounce looked like. I would usually give 15 to 20 Reals (7-10 US) and get what I could only guesstimate as 10-15 grams, AFTER the old guy took his share, which I’m sure he did.
Marijuana brands: Most weed in Brasil is shwag, and I rarely came across anything that wasnt. A few times I smoked some weed from northern brasil that a few friends brought back and it was of better quality than what I got from the favelas.
More information: For papers, some newstands and kiosks have them, some do not. Go to a tobacco shop if you strike out.
From what I’ve figured out the best weed in Brasil is more from the North of Brasil. ALL the weed in the city is distributed from the favelas. Do not go into a favela unless you dont want to come out.
