Weed in Sousse, Tunisia: my experience

Hi, smokers! You probably know that cannabis laws and regulations vary from one county to another, so let’s go deeper and try to understand what is going on with weed in Sousse. 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 Sousse.

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

So where do smokers purchase weed in Sousse?

Despite the fact that I did not have any problems with weed in Sousse 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.

Usually, locals already buy weed by talking to dealers they trust through messages like Telegram or Signal with payment via cryptocurrency. Then, the weed is left in a secret spot where they can pick it up without meeting the seller in person. This is new secured way of cannabis delivery used in Sousse.

Marijuana laws in Tunisia

It is important to outline that high % THC cannabis, weed, and hash are forbidden in Sousse. 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 Sousse 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 Sousse. But Brian put me on game — cops in Sousse 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.

Local Attitudes Toward Cannabis in Sousse

Just because cannabis is strictly regulated in Sousse doesn’t mean the locals are strongly opposed to it. In fact, most people in Sousse don’t seem to care too much about marijuana use. Of course, it’s wise to follow some basic rules, like not smoking in public. But even if someone notices you, it’s unlikely they’ll see it as a big deal.

On my first night in Sousse, Brian 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 Brian, who became my go-to person for cannabis during my stay in Sousse. 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.

Five random facts about cannabis

1. Modern-Day Cannabis Is A Lot Stronger

We talked about this on the cannabis flower and its influence in the 60s. For one, it’s purer than the illegal “hippie weed” that was imported into the United States. And it’s also been cultivated to increase its THC content, so the high you get from marijuana today is a lot stronger than what your parents or grandparents consumed.

2. Bob Marley Was Buried With Grass

The musical star was buried with his red Gibson guitar, a cannabis bud, and a Bible open on the 23rd Psalm, which reads: “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures”. Way to go, Marley.
