Exploring Cannabis Scene of Varna: My Experience

Hello, everyone! Today, I’m excited to share my recent experience with cannabis in Varna, Bulgaria. 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 Varna.

Got back home from Varna just 2 days ago, so writing this post with fresh memory smoking a small joint of white widow strain. Had an amazing stay in Varna that would never be so cool without sex, drugs and rock’n’roll smelly ganja buds.

Weed Laws in Bulgaria: The Real Deal

Alright, let’s break it down — Bulgaria ain’t playin' with their weed laws. If you’re thinkin' you can just stroll into a shop and cop some high-THC weed in Varna like you do in the Netherlands, nah fam, think again. You won’t find any legit spots sellin' anything with enough THC to get you lifted. You might see some medical stuff, but that CBD ain't gon' do nothin'.

Met this dude John in the hotel bar. He’s been around the Varna block, knows what’s up with the ganja scene out here. Turns out, while the rules are strict on paper, the cops ain't always on it like that.

Laws and regulations of weed in Varna

All products with high THC (substance in cannabis that makes you high) above 1% are strictly forbidden for distribution. But in fact according to John cops are rather relaxed about weed in Varna 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 Varna - 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.

Where to Buy Cannabis in Varna

So, how do you actually buy cannabis in Varna? John shared some insights. Big dealers in Varna often source their products through the darknet — using services like DrChronic or Bitpharma. They then resell the cannabis to locals and tourists. While this method is possible, it’s not really practical for short-term visitors. Navigating the darknet and waiting for a package can be complicated and time-consuming.

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

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

Local Attitudes Toward Cannabis in Varna

Just because cannabis is strictly regulated in Varna doesn’t mean the locals are strongly opposed to it. In fact, most people in Varna 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.

John 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 Varna 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.

Question / Answer session about marijuana in Varna

Is high % THC weed forbidden in Varna?

Yes, non-medical cannabis is regulated and restricted in Varna, while police is relaxed about marijuana and having less than 10 grams with you should not result in imprisoning anything serious.

Anyway what if you get caught with some THC cannabis product in Varna?

Depends on the situation, but if officers think you are a drug dealer for some reason who delivers stuff - you should get punished problems. In general tourists with small amounts of hash or weed are not touched at all, only dealers with large amounts.

Can I find weed in Varna in some oldschool way?

Of course you can! While sniffing dark streets / parks and pinging taxi drivers is an outdated approach for searching marijuana already - a big bunch of dealers migrated to online sales via messengers and crypto, but hustling parks and central streets in searches for weed may still give you some successful results.

Is top-shelf weed and hash a myth in Varna?

Nah, it’s out there, but you gotta know the right people. Quality varies, so do your homework.

How about hash? Can you find it in Varna?

Yep, plenty of dealers got both weed and hash. It’s not always on deck, but it’s out there.

What’s the price of weed and hash in Varna?

Prices swing depending on the plug and the quality. Top-tier bud can run you about €20 - €25 a gram, and hash could hit €30 - €35 a gram. The more you buy, the better the deal.

And that’s the lowdown on gettin' lifted in Varna. Stay safe, stay chill, and keep that stash tight.
