Ganja in Adana, Turkey - ma story

Hi, folks! Today I plan to share my rasta-experience after visiting infinite party Adana in Turkey. Brief conclusion - for some reason it’s not easy to get really good🍀cannabis buds or hash in Adana in an “oldschool way”, but options do exist. Below I describe what is going on with weed in Adana.

I just got back from Adana a week ago, now smoking a big joint of pineapple weed strain, reminding me of that cool time I had in Adana — thanks in part to the weed that accompanied me on my adventures.

What Do People in Adana Think About Weed?

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

As I was actively asking and discussing weed - Olaf invited me to his apartment for a small party that very first evening - just a couple of his rasta friends, beer, weed and PS5 - exactly what I do love😁😁😁. How lucky I was😁 Olaf told he will be my weed dealer while I am here in Adana so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.

Olaf also confirmed locals are OK with weed in Adana if you behave yourself correctly, while it’s better to avoid cops and not to have more than 10 grams in your pocket.

Cannabis Laws in Turkey: What You Need to Know

First things first, it’s important to understand that high-THC cannabis is illegal in Adana. Unlike in Amsterdam, you won’t find any coffee shops selling potent marijuana strains. While medical cannabis is available, it’s typically low in THC and won’t give you the high you might be looking for.

During my stay, I met a local named Olaf in the hotel bar. He’s lived in Adana for a while and knows a lot about the cannabis scene. According to him, while the official regulations are strict, enforcement isn’t always so rigid in practice.

What’s the Law Say vs. What’s Really Good?

Officially, anything with more than 1% THC is a no-go in Adana. But Olaf put me on game — cops in Adana are chill about the weed. Unless you’re actin' a fool or got bad luck with the wrong officer, you might just get your stash snatched, have a chat, and be on your way. But yo, don’t push it. Keep it low-key, don’t smoke in public, and if you’re holdin' less than 10g of weed or 5g of hash, you should be straight.

Coppin' Weed in Adana: The New Wave

So here’s the scoop on how folks are gettin' their green in Adana. Olaf 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 Adana for a few days, tryin' to navigate the darknet and waitin' on cannabis shipments ain't it.

If you are just having a short vacation or a trip to Adana - 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 Adana, 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 Olaf 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 Olaf.

Five random facts about cannabis

1. Weed Was The First Online Sale

Of course, it was illegal back then. In the early 1970s, Stanford students bought a bag of weed from MIT students. This means that the first product ever sold online was cannabis!

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. Not All Weed Gets You High

You read that right. THC is not the same as CBD, which means that the type you choose to consume will have different effects on your body. One will provide all the relaxing and medicinal benefits, while the other will provide the psychoactive effects of the high.

4. Hemp for Victory

During World War II, the U.S. government encouraged farmers to grow hemp for materials needed in the war effort, launching the "Hemp for Victory" campaign.

5. Environmental Benefits

Hemp can be used to make biodegradable plastics, helping to reduce the reliance on fossil fuel-based products.
