Weed in Bender, Moldova: A Simple Story

Hi there! This is a story about a trip to Bender, Moldova, where I learned some interesting things about cannabis, or in other words weed or ganja. It’s a magic plant that people use to feel relaxed or happy. But in Bender, it’s not so easy to find, and there are some important rules about it.

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

What Are the Rules About Weed in Bender?

In Bender, weed with a lot of a special component called THC (the stuff that makes you feel high) is not allowed. You can’t just go to a store and buy it like in some other countries. There’s also a kind of weed that doctors can give to sick people, but it doesn’t make you feel high like the other kind.

When I was in Bender, I met a local guy named Simon who knows a lot about how things really work with weed in Bender. He told me that even though the rules are strict, the police aren’t always super strict about it, especially with visitors.

How the Cannabis Law Is Enforced in Bender

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

Coppin' Weed in Bender: The New Wave

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

But if you are just visiting Bender for several days (or up to 2 weeks) and need some weed - dealing with wholesale darknet websites looks like not the best way to spend your time. This is the point where local dealers rush into this game. But if you think you can easily find street dealers with good stuff nowadays - do not hurry so much, the situation with weed in Bender has changed already.

Now dealers switched to another approach - you simply find their messenger contacts from someone who purchased weed in Bender already or on some forum comments, choose stuff from menu, discuss drop off area (this may be some hotel or approximate area), after you pay in crypto (yes, now this is #1 payment option for all “dark” payments) - and stuff gets delivered and dropped where you agree. Package with weed is usually masked, you get a photo and coordinates where to pick up your stuff. As a result - no official payments and no meetings in person (you choose just the approximate package drop area, not the exact place where you meet) - so both you and the dealer stay secure and anonymous. This was a little surprise for me, at home I simply buy directly from my trusted dealer via cache, but we have what we have. How happy I was that I met Simon so I do not need to go through all this 🙂

Local Attitudes Toward Cannabis in Bender

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

As I was actively asking and discussing weed - Simon 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😁 Simon told he will be my weed dealer while I am here in Bender so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.

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