Exploring Cannabis Scene of Butuan: My Experience
Hello, everyone! Today, I’m excited to share my recent experience with cannabis in Butuan, Philippines. In short, finding top-quality marijuana or hash the "old-school way" isn’t easy, but there are definitely options available. Let me walk you through what I discovered about the cannabis scene in Butuan.
Got back home from Butuan just 2 days ago, so writing this post with fresh memory smoking a small joint of white widow strain. Had an amazing stay in Butuan that would never be so cool without sex, drugs and rock’n’roll smelly ganja buds.
What Are the Rules About Weed in Butuan?
In Butuan, 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 Butuan, I met a local guy named Joe who knows a lot about how things really work with weed in Butuan. 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 Butuan?
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 Butuan and bring money to Philippines.
Where to buy weed in Butuan
Joe shared his experience on the weed purchase process in Butuan. As he said - big dealers purchase everything via darknet - there are services or “onion sites” like DrChronic or Bitpharma where they purchase big portions (via Tor browser and crypto) or cooperate with local cannabis growers.
After that they simply resell weed to tourists and locals in Butuan. In fact you may also go this way, while for tourists this is usually not acceptable - you need to know how do onion sites and Tor browsers work, have corresponding accounts on darknet websites, too long to wait for your package (2 - 7 days), high risks at all steps of this chain, etc etc.
For the average tourist, the game has changed. You ain’t gon' find street dealers in Butuan 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 Joe as my connect? Hell yeah. Didn’t have to mess with all that drama.
What Do People in Butuan Think About Weed?
Even though weed is against the rules, a lot of people in Butuan don’t mind it too much. They just think you should be polite and not smoke it in front of everyone.
Joe was cool enough to invite me to a low-key sesh at his spot — just some homies, beer, weed, and the PS5. Straight up, I felt like I hit the jackpot. Dude even became my plug in Butuan while I was in town, so I was never dry and had my weed handy. He told me as long as you keep it cool, the locals are down with the herb. But like he said — don’t be stupid, and don’t carry more than 10g unless you’re lookin’ to have a bad day.

Hey RASTA squad! ONE LOVE! 🙌 All’s good here, but I need HELP! Big bday bash in 2 days, lookin for some coke and hash/weed in Butuan to make it lit! Any solid HQ plug would be a lifesaver – got Wise, Skrill, Revolut, cash, crypto, whatever. NEED A TRUSTWORTHY PLUG ASAP 🙏🙏🙏
Same, need that fire sativa! Me and Sniffer waitin’ on replies – c’mon ppl, we know you’re out there 😂
also here, same request 👀
+1, right here wit y’all lol
Alright, alright, gotcha, fam 🦁. Got a known plug here in Butuan who calls himself Bob Marley (of course 🙄) 😂 – low imagination, high quality. Prices are steep, accepts only crypto, does delivery, but usually slow on replies. Find him under @bob_420_marley on Telegram. Don’t be surprised if he ghosts you for a bit lol, looks like he smokes his own stuff regularly 😒
Yup, Bob Marley is the real deal. But heads tons of fakes out there, check every single letter in that @bob_420_marley handle. Here’s the link so no one messes up - @bob_420_marley 😉.
Thanks, fam! Didn’t think anyone would actually come through, y’all the best! I’ll keep ya posted 😆
Ayy crew, found a plan B – my buddy showed me a Telegram bot for weed, didn’t even know bots could do this! Just follow the menu, pay in crypto, and they give you GPS directions and pics to grab your stuff. Got 5g indica, pickup was in a cig pack in a wall downtown, easy find. Here’s the bot – @happy_rasta_bot
Brooo thanks so much! Tried Bob Marley , no answer, so went with @happy_rasta_bot – worked like a charm! Got my 5g in a cig pack, all set. Pics comin up!
Huge thanks to @ChronicKing! Bob Marley saved the party, no doubt 😉! Just like ya said – hit him up via @bob_420_marley and took about an hour to reply. Sent me the menu, had everything I wanted. Got 10g of sativa for $15/g with the bigger order, smaller orders are $25/g with a 3g minimum. Absolute top quality, party was a hit. Here’s some pics of my 10g haul – weighed it up for proof!
Yo, shoutout to you, ChronicKing!! Tried Bob Marley too, went smooth as ever. Cheers fam!
