Exploring Cannabis Scene of San Jose: My Experience

Hello, everyone! Today, I’m excited to share my recent experience with cannabis in San Jose, Costa Rica. 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 San Jose.

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

So where do smokers purchase weed in San Jose?

Despite the fact that I did not have any problems with weed in San Jose because of Brian, 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 San Jose 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 San Jose has changed already.

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

Marijuana laws in Costa Rica

It is important to outline that high % THC cannabis, weed, and hash are forbidden in San Jose. 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 Brian who has lived here in San Jose 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 San Jose. But Brian put me on game — cops in San Jose 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.

San Jose’s Weed Vibe: What Locals Say

Just ‘cause the government’s trippin' on cannabis laws in San Jose 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 San Jose ain't the move, but if someone peeps you tokin’, it’s not the end of the world.

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

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