Exploring Cannabis Scene of Carolina: My Experience

Hello, everyone! Today, I’m excited to share my recent experience with cannabis in Carolina, Puerto Rico. 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 Carolina.

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

Weed Laws in Puerto Rico: The Real Deal

Alright, let’s break it down — Puerto Rico ain’t playin' with their weed laws. If you’re thinkin' you can just stroll into a shop and cop some high-THC weed in Carolina like you do in the Netherlands, nah fam, think again. You won’t find any legit spots sellin' anything with enough THC to get you lifted. You might see some medical stuff, but that CBD ain't gon' do nothin'.

Met this dude Sam in the hotel bar. He’s been around the Carolina block, knows what’s up with the ganja scene out here. Turns out, while the rules are strict on paper, the cops ain't always on it like that.

What if I get caught with weed in Carolina?

In practice, as Sam 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 Carolina and bring money to Puerto Rico.

Attitude of Carolina locals to weed

You already know that good non-medical marijuana with high % THC is not something you can officially buy in a branded cannabis shop in Carolina, but this does not mean locals are too much against weed 😃. Youngsters and students are definitely those who share their love of cannabis and welcome new smokers in their circles. They can not imagine a good party without having a joint or two, while it’s hard to join them if you are already a “25+ old man”.

In general smoking some occasional joint after a long working week is a pleasant tradition among many people in Carolina, so no one will point fingers at you seeing how you are smoking weed, but better to avoid doing this publicly just not to bring useless attention.

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

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

So where do smokers purchase weed in Carolina?

Despite the fact that I did not have any problems with weed in Carolina because of Sam, 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.

But if you are just visiting Carolina 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 Carolina has changed already.

Now dealers switched to another approach - you simply find their messenger contacts from someone who purchased weed in Carolina 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 Sam so I do not need to go through all this 🙂

Frequently asked questions about Cannabis in Carolina

Is cannabis legal in Carolina?

No, non-medical cannabis is not legal in Carolina, 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 Carolina?

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 Carolina?

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.

Top quality weed and hash in Carolina - truth or myth?

Yes, truth, but complex to find. Quality differs among different dealers.

Yes, a lot of dealers sell both weed and hash, so hash is also popular and can be found in Carolina. Not always available, but rather popular.

Price for weed / hash in Carolina?

Prices vary from dealer to dealer and usually depend on quality and anything else. 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 seen low quality weed in Carolina so do not know the prices, but should be lower.
