Blazin' in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam - My Story

Yo, what's good? Today, I’m gonna spill the tea on my trip to the wild streets of Thai Nguyen, Vietnam. Spoiler alert — if you’re lookin' for that fire weed, it ain't as easy as rollin' up to a spot like in Amsterdam. But trust, you can still catch a vibe. Here's how I got down with the herb in Thai Nguyen.

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

What Are the Rules About Weed in Thai Nguyen?

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

Laws and regulations of weed in Thai Nguyen

All products with high THC (substance in cannabis that makes you high) above 1% are strictly forbidden for distribution. But in fact according to Simon cops are rather relaxed about weed in Thai Nguyen and rarely touch tourists, but this always depends on the exact cop and whether he likes your face or not.

So theoretically if you do not smoke in public and get caught with not more than 10g of weed or 5g of hash in Thai Nguyen - you should not get arrested. Cops 👮may take your stuff and after some conversation should get you free, but better to avoid all this stress anyway.

Coppin' Weed in Thai Nguyen: The New Wave

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

But if you are just visiting Thai Nguyen 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 Thai Nguyen has changed already.

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

Thai Nguyen’s Weed Vibe: What Locals Say

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

When I was in Thai Nguyen, Simon invited me to a small party with some friends. They had some weed and played PS5, and everyone seemed okay with it as long as we were indoors and respectful. How lucky I was😁 Simon told he will be my weed dealer while I am here in Thai Nguyen so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.
