Ganja in Suwon, South Korea - ma story

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

I just got back from Suwon a couple of days ago, and as I sit here enjoying a small joint of white widow, I can’t help but reflect on the great time I had in Suwon — thanks in part to the cannabis that accompanied me on my adventures.

Suwon’s Weed Vibe: What Locals Say

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

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

I’ve asked Sam 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 Sam in some bar of Suwon.

How Do People Get Weed in Suwon?

Finding weed in Suwon isn’t as easy as just asking someone on the street. Wholesale dealers in Suwon buy weed through special darknet websites, but that’s a bit tricky for regular cannabis users who want to smoke, but not re-sell weed.

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

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

What Are the Rules About Weed in Suwon?

In Suwon, weed with a lot of a special component called THC (the stuff that makes you feel high) is not allowed. You can’t just go to a store and buy it like in some other countries. There’s also a kind of weed that doctors can give to sick people, but it doesn’t make you feel high like the other kind.

When I was in Suwon, I met a local guy named Sam who knows a lot about how things really work with weed in Suwon. He told me that even though the rules are strict, the police aren’t always super strict about it, especially with visitors.

How the Cannabis Law Is Enforced in Suwon

Technically, any cannabis product with more than 1% THC is illegal in Suwon. However, Sam explained that the police tend to be relatively relaxed when it comes to cannabis in Suwon, especially with tourists.

If you’re caught with a small amount — less than 10 grams of weed or 5 grams of hash — you’re unlikely to face serious consequences. The police might confiscate your weed, but it’s unlikely you’ll get into much trouble as long as you’re discreet.
