Weed in Bialystok, Poland: A Simple Story

Hi there! This is a story about a trip to Bialystok, Poland, 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 Bialystok, it’s not so easy to find, and there are some important rules about it.

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

How Do People Get Weed in Bialystok?

Finding weed in Bialystok isn’t as easy as just asking someone on the street. Wholesale dealers in Bialystok buy weed through special darknet websites, but that’s a bit tricky for regular cannabis users who want to smoke, but not re-sell weed.

For the average tourist, the game has changed. You ain’t gon' find street dealers in Bialystok as easy anymore. Now, it’s all about those encrypted messengers. You get the plug’s contact, check out the menu, and decide on a drop-off spot. No face-to-face meetups, just a masked package and some GPS coordinates. Pay with crypto, pick up your stash, and dip. Safe and sound. Was I glad I had Brian as my connect? Hell yeah. Didn’t have to mess with all that drama.

What Are the Rules About Weed in Bialystok?

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

What if I get caught with weed in Bialystok?

In practice, as Brian said - if you are 18+ and carry less than 20 grams of weed or 10 grams of hash and do not smoke in public - you should not expect any arrest. As a maximum, cops will confiscate your stuff after they ensure you are not a dealer who delivers stuff.

There are some stories about occasional cops forcing people to give them a bribe after catching someone with weed, but such cases are rare. Usually cops do not touch foreign tourists who are spending their vacation or business trip in Bialystok and bring money to Poland.

What do locals think about ganja in Bialystok

The fact that cannabis is strictly regulated by f*cking officials the government does not mean that local inhabitants of Bialystok are too much against weed. Mostly - they simply do not care. Of course it is better to preserve some common rules and not to smoke weed in public in Bialystok, but even if someone notices you - this will not be treated as some crime or inappropriate behavior.

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

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