Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 3
Legislation: Actually, it is illegal to possess any quantityof any scheduled drug. Also, there is no “permitted THC level”!.
Law Enforcement: Policemen are very corrupt. Offering a 20 Euro by a person recognised as a foreigner would probably get you into deeper trouble. Usually they will start asking for 1000 Euro or more and will agree to let one go for no less but 100-200 Eu. And offering money before one is asked to give is generally not a good idea. So the better suggestion would be: NEVER smoke outdoors, nor in a car!
Where to Buy Marijuana in Sofia: If u are lucky/stubborn enough u might eventually meet some young (or not_so_young) people in the central park for instance, the smell will connect you to them very soon!
Sofia Marijuana Prices: The choice of strains isn’t aways very wide – you could buy some high priced indoor sensi (skunk, kc33,nl#5, haze,shiva)
– around 10 EU per gramm – no leafs or seeds,usually really potent stuff !
The alternative is the cheaper, lower-qualty outdoor grown Ruderalis weed, which is fine if you you aren’t a hydro-indoor
-hash maniac. You could get yourself a dub sack full of some Ruderallis strain, grown in the western regions Bulgaria
(around Petrich and Blagoevgrad for instance) for the reasonable price of 1 up to 3 EU per gram.
Brands: If one is offered “holandets” (literally: Dutchman) or whatever variety, that doesn’t mean it’s the same as its name – just fine grade mj. And what is bred outdoors around Petrich or Blagoevgrad (actually: all over the country) has nothing to do with what you call “ruderalis” (unless you are ready to name a 4 meters plant “ruderalis”). Our native varieties would be rather classified as “indica-sativa” hybrids. However, local growers rarely use the indica-sativa dichotomy.
City Tale:
Sofia is Bulgaria’s capital as well as the largest city in the country. The population is above 1.5 mil citizens, most of which are narco-phobes unfortunatelly, but than again there are doctors and lawyers who toke on the good herb. Be carefull when searching for marijuana, unless u have some kind of trusted connection. If u can’t connect to your the dealer – get some legal Rakia drink instead (iBulgarian traditional grape scotch drink – very powerfull!) or maybe consider buying some Bulgarian MAVRUD red wine, both sold freely. Btw the “Mavrud” grape strain grows only on Bulgarian land, and is infamous for its superior quality – even French wineries can’t compete!

Also there is hash sometimes available on the market, but unlike most countries, Bulgarian stoners don’t consume that much hash (compared to others) and they rarely mix hash/weed/both with tobacco, so dont be surprised if you encounter prerolled cigarettes with nothing but weed on the inside. Hmm hash+weed is fine ..or just pure hash on the glass pipe! Yummy) – just a though.. As a non smoker I don’t seem to find any real use for the tobacco – its unnessesary for me, but even tobbaco smokers in here rarely mix their weed/ or hash with tobacco – i guess thats because there’s plenty of weed.No one uses roach-clips in here as well – we roll cigarettes with a paper folden filter ;like this – @; lol place for anyThe tobacco doesn’t seem to fit in – bad tobbaco taste messed u( i am a non smoker) Sofia city overall is really nice, the only negative side is the noticeable dirt in some places 🙁 If u plan on visiting Turkey or Greece or perhaps Romania than you might consider visiting Bulgaria as well – the capital Sofia or some cool big seaside town – Varna for instance. Unfortunatelly during the summer prices go up a little because of all the tourists, but but still, in Bulgaria prices are way lower when compared to out neighbours – Greece, Turkey or Romania.

Legislation: illegal
Law enforcement: Law Enforcement: Policemen are very corrupt. Offering a 20 Euro by a person recognised as a foreigner would probably get you into deeper trouble. Usually they will start asking for 1000 Euro or more and will agree to let one go for no less but 100-200 Eu. And offering money before one is asked to give is generally not a good idea. So the better suggestion would be: NEVER smoke outdoors, unless you’d like to make a nice sprint.. But be aware that night patrol are usually quite fit.. and you’ll find it kinda hard to run away.. specially if ur high..
Where to buy marijuana: For a tourist.. hard.. try to look for some hard-looking 15-18 year olds (preferably dressed in dark, looking mean) in the Marine Park or in the centrum.. And as always.. smell is the best lead 🙂 If you can see someone who is clearly high.. ask him. Night clubs and discos are also a nice place to look.. If you’re staying somewhere in the neighbourhoods.. Vladislavovo, Vazrajhdane, Asparuhovo and some parts of Mladost are the places to look.
Don’t go for pseudo-gangsters.. with those bandanas and big T-Shirts on.. nor fat kids with “KoRN” T-shirts.. They might get you into trouble.
Marijuana prices: Prices of the common Bulgarian (grown outdoors) pot go from 0.5 euro to 1.5 euro per gram, but keep in mind that’s not high quality weed.. if you want something good it may cost up to 5 euro per gram (and u’ll most probably get ripped off (if ur a tourist, doh) so I suggest you go for the regular stuff). Hash is harder to find, so may cost more.
More information: If you can’t find any pot, buy Rakia.. it’s legal and very strong booze, so u’ll still have a nice time 🙂 Goes very well with Shopska Salata (a type of bulgarian salad)

Legislation:
Law enforcement: Don’t be a moron or really open about it and
you’ll be fine
Where to buy marijuana: Club Nautica, the ghetto, rua marginal, rua
de praia
Marijuana prices: If you know someone tahn about 2000 CVE or roughly 20 euros a half once, if not you will be buying ‘tacs’ which are less than a joint
for 50 cents.
Marijuana brands: All pretty much crap, some crap greener than
others, but try to remember what you smoked in 7th grade and bingo!
More information:If you go to the bar, be discrete and respectful, don’t broadcast your intentions to the bar but pull someone aside and ask. They will either have it or will take you to someone who does.
Don’t worry about getting robbed rarely happens unless you deal with the street kids. The material is crap, so unless you are really trying to get something, wait until you leave.
Langauge barrier not a problem, they know what you want and will help you out. If someone hooks you up, hook them up with a drink or some of your stash. Be careful cops know what is up but leave tourists alone. Basically like anywhere else don’t be an ass and people are cool about it. Don’t smoke in public, I suggest the beach, any beach other than laginha.
Good luck.

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.

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.

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.
brick-compressed brown to green depending on how lucky you are 🙂
