Ganja in Katowice, Poland - ma story

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

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

Cannabis laws in Katowice, Poland

It is important to note that cannabis, weed, and hash are prohibited in Katowice. You can not officially purchase marijuana strains with high THC concentration in some coffee shops like in Amsterdam. Medical CBD cannabis may be available for purchase at dispensaries, but a prescription from a doctor is required, and you will never get high with CBD.

In one sports bar I got acquainted with Alex who moved to Katowice 3 years ago, so he knows the local drug scene. According to Alex - despite cannabis being banned according to laws, cops are generally relaxed about weed, sometimes being smokers themselves.

Laws and regulations of weed in Katowice

All products with high THC (substance in cannabis that makes you high) above 1% are strictly forbidden for distribution. But in fact according to Alex cops are rather relaxed about weed in Katowice and rarely touch tourists, but this always depends on the exact cop and whether he likes your face or not.

So theoretically if you do not smoke in public and get caught with not more than 10g of weed or 5g of hash in Katowice - you should not get arrested. Cops 👮may take your stuff and after some conversation should get you free, but better to avoid all this stress anyway.

What do locals think about ganja in Katowice

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

The overall attitude of locals to weed is rather relaxed, so you may even feel yourself home in Katowice after one good joint, telling this from my own experience. Alex 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 Katowice.

I’ve asked Alex 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 Alex in some bar of Katowice.

Coppin' Weed in Katowice: The New Wave

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

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

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