Ganja in Sevan, Armenia - ma story

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

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

Cannabis Laws in Armenia: What You Need to Know

First things first, it’s important to understand that high-THC cannabis is illegal in Sevan. Unlike in Amsterdam, you won’t find any coffee shops selling potent marijuana strains. While medical cannabis is available, it’s typically low in THC and won’t give you the high you might be looking for.

During my stay, I met a local named Brian in the hotel bar. He’s lived in Sevan for a while and knows a lot about the cannabis scene. According to him, while the official regulations are strict, enforcement isn’t always so rigid in practice.

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

Officially, anything with more than 1% THC is a no-go in Sevan. But Brian put me on game — cops in Sevan 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.

Sevan’s Weed Vibe: What Locals Say

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

Brian 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 Sevan 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 Sevan: The New Wave

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

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

Now dealers switched to another approach - you simply find their messenger contacts from someone who purchased weed in Sevan 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 🙂

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 Sevan so do not know the prices, but should be lower.

Five random facts about cannabis

1. Weed Was The First Online Sale

Of course, it was illegal back then. In the early 1970s, Stanford students bought a bag of weed from MIT students. This means that the first product ever sold online was cannabis!

2. You Can Eat Cannabis Raw

Granted, it tastes a lot better when prepared with yummy edibles like brownies, bread, or cake. But cannabis can be consumed raw. One more thing is that if you eat it raw, it won’t get you high, but it will provide you with all the medicinal benefits.

3. Not All Weed Gets You High

You read that right. THC is not the same as CBD, which means that the type you choose to consume will have different effects on your body. One will provide all the relaxing and medicinal benefits, while the other will provide the psychoactive effects of the high.

4. Medical Use

Cannabis is used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including chronic pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and chemotherapy-induced nausea.

5. Fast-Growing

Hemp is one of the fastest-growing plants and can reach maturity in just four months, making it a highly sustainable crop.
