Ganja in Bursa, Turkey - ma story

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

I just got back from Bursa a couple of days ago, and as I sit here enjoying a small joint of white widow, I can’t help but reflect on the great time I had in Bursa — thanks in part to the cannabis that accompanied me on my adventures.

So where do smokers purchase weed in Bursa?

Despite the fact that I did not have any problems with weed in Bursa because of Joe, he told me how everything works (and not only with cannabis).

Usually high-level dealers purchase stuff on wholesale darknet websites. Theoretically you may also go through all the nightmare of using darknet websites to get your stuff delivered in several days or even weeks. Website thehiddenwiki.com has all the links you may need to order stuff in the darknet using Tor browser and crypto, but this method usually works if you need a lot of stuff and have time (several days) to wait for the delivery.

Usually, locals already buy weed by talking to dealers they trust through messages like Telegram or Signal with payment via cryptocurrency. Then, the weed is left in a secret spot where they can pick it up without meeting the seller in person. This is new secured way of cannabis delivery used in Bursa.

Local Attitudes Toward Cannabis in Bursa

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

The overall attitude of locals to weed is rather relaxed, so you may even feel yourself home in Bursa after one good joint, telling this from my own experience. Joe shared with me a joint of simply perfect sativa (while he did not know the exact strain). We were smoking outside the bar, and saw other guys doing the same on the other side of the street 😁 So I can definitely say that smoking weed is rather popular in Bursa.

I’ve asked Joe if he may share contacts of his dealer, cause stuff was out of this world. He told me that his exact dealer does not work with new people, so he will be my dealer during my vacation, which was simply perfect. I wish everyone to find your own Joe in some bar of Bursa.

Cannabis Laws in Turkey: What You Need to Know

First things first, it’s important to understand that high-THC cannabis is illegal in Bursa. 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 Joe in the hotel bar. He’s lived in Bursa 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 if I get caught with weed in Bursa?

In practice, as Joe 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 Bursa and bring money to Turkey.

Frequently asked questions about Cannabis in Bursa

Is cannabis legal in Bursa?

No, non-medical cannabis is not legal in Bursa, while cops are relaxed towards weed and having less than 20 grams in your pocket should not result in arrest.

What if I get caught with weed in Bursa?

If cops think you are a real dealer who delivers stuff - you will have problems. But usually tourists with small amounts of hash or weed are not touched at all, only dealers should worry.

Can I buy weed on the streets of Bursa?

Yes you still can. This is an outdated approach already so more and more dealers are switching to online sales, but hustling parks and central streets may still give you successful results. While much easier would be finding dealer’s contacts and order online with further delivery.

Can I find high quality weed or hash in Bursa?

Yes, while quality varies from dealer to dealer.

Can I find hash in Bursa?

Yes, a lot of dealers sell both weed and hash, so hash is also popular and can be found in Bursa. Not all dealers have it, but it is still rather popular.

What is the price for weed and hash in Bursa?

Prices vary from dealer to dealer and usually depend on stuff quality and dealer’s greediness 😂From what I saw - super high quality weed may go up to $20 - $25 per 1 gram (while the more you buy - the lower price you get), and high quality hash was around $30 - $35 per 1 gram. Have not purchased low quality weed in Bursa so do not know the prices, but should be lower.
