Weed in Dasoguz, Turkmenistan: my experience

My post covers info about weed laws, regulations, general attitude of locals and cops, hash VS weed availability and pricing, failures and success in searching weed in Dasoguz.

So, I just touched down back home from Dasoguz a couple of days ago, still got that fresh buzz in my head as I’m sparking up this joint of girl scout cookies strain. Man, Dasoguz was lit — couldn't have had a better time without those dank buds keepin' me company.

What do locals think about ganja in Dasoguz

The fact that cannabis is strictly regulated by f*cking officials the government does not mean that local inhabitants of Dasoguz 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 Dasoguz, but even if someone notices you - this will not be treated as some crime or inappropriate behavior.

Fred 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 Dasoguz 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.

Coppin' Weed in Dasoguz: The New Wave

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

For tourists, the process of obtaining weed in Dasoguz is a bit different. Street dealers are less common these days. Instead, many have moved to a more discreet system using encrypted messaging apps like Telegram. You get their contact details from someone who’s already bought weed in Dasoguz or through online forums, then you place your order, arrange a drop-off point, and pay with cryptocurrency. The package is typically left in a hidden spot, and you’re given the location and a photo to help you find it. This approach minimizes risks for both you and the dealer. I was glad I had Fred as my connection so I didn’t have to go through all this hassle.
