Weed in Ploiesti, Romania: A Simple Story

Hi there! This is a story about a trip to Ploiesti, Romania, where I learned some interesting things about cannabis, or in other words weed or ganja. It’s a magic plant that people use to feel relaxed or happy. But in Ploiesti, it’s not so easy to find, and there are some important rules about it.

So, I just touched down back home from Ploiesti 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, Ploiesti was lit — couldn't have had a better time without those dank buds keepin' me company.

Ploiesti’s Weed Vibe: What Locals Say

Just ‘cause the government’s trippin' on cannabis laws in Ploiesti doesn’t mean the locals are too pressed. Most of 'em are just livin' their lives, not sweatin' what you do. But don’t get it twisted — keep it respectful. Smoking weed in public in Ploiesti ain't the move, but if someone peeps you tokin’, it’s not the end of the world.

On my first night in Ploiesti, Steve invited me to a small gathering at his place — just a few friends, some beer, weed, and a PlayStation 5. It was exactly my kind of evening! I was fortunate to have met Steve, who became my go-to person for cannabis during my stay in Ploiesti. He assured me that as long as you’re respectful and avoid drawing attention, the locals are generally okay with cannabis use. But again, it’s best not to carry more than 10 grams on you.

Marijuana laws in Romania

It is important to outline that high % THC cannabis, weed, and hash are forbidden in Ploiesti. You can not officially purchase marijuana strains with high at least some reasonable THC % concentration in some coffee shops like in the Netherlands. Medical cannabis may be available for purchase at dispensaries, but you will never get high with CBD buds you may find.

In the bar of my hotel I met Steve who has lived here in Ploiesti for a while, so knows a lot about 4:20 movements😁. He said that strict official regulations are not so tough in practice.

What’s the Law Say vs. What’s Really Good?

Officially, anything with more than 1% THC is a no-go in Ploiesti. But Steve put me on game — cops in Ploiesti are chill about the weed. Unless you’re actin' a fool or got bad luck with the wrong officer, you might just get your stash snatched, have a chat, and be on your way. But yo, don’t push it. Keep it low-key, don’t smoke in public, and if you’re holdin' less than 10g of weed or 5g of hash, you should be straight.

Coppin' Weed in Ploiesti: The New Wave

So here’s the scoop on how folks are gettin' their green in Ploiesti. Steve 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 Ploiesti 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 Ploiesti 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 Ploiesti 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 Steve as my connection so I didn’t have to go through all this hassle.
