Cannabis in Cluj-Napoca, Romania - my story

Hi there, hustlers 🤝Welcome to my longread about weed in Cluj-Napoca, done from my own experience plus some local stories.

As you all know cannabis regulations differ in different countries, so the point of this article is to cover marijuana laws in Cluj-Napoca, attitude of police and local inhabitants, weed VS hash availability and price range, my own experience related to weed in Cluj-Napoca.

I've just come back from an interesting journey to Cluj-Napoca. It was a double week vacation and now when I'm at home, full of impressions I'm writing this post to share them with you, guys. As a strong smoker of the weed and hash I couldn't even imagine my trip with a 'clear mind'. Further I'll give you the information that I got when I was looking for the good drugs staff in Cluj-Napoca.

Cannabis laws in Cluj-Napoca, Romania

You can probably guess that distribution of non-medical cannabis is strictly forbidden and regulated by laws of Romania, so you can not purchase high THC weed in some official shops like you may do in the Netherlands for example.

On my very first day in Cluj-Napoca I got acquainted with Fred who has lived here for 3 years already and who is also a regular cannabis smoker. He shared a joint with me and told some stories. As he told that despite non-medical weed being prohibited - cops are relaxed and calm in everything related to cannabis, with some rare exceptions.

But what if you get caught with weed in your pocket in Cluj-Napoca?

According to Fred - if you have not more than 10g of weed or 5g of hash and you are not doing any other bad things in public - cops should not punish you. They should just ensure you are not a dealer who sells stuff, and after a short talk should leave you alone and just confiscate your stuff (to smoke it themselves haha).

There are some stories about dirty cops who try to get a bribe from tourists with weed in Cluj-Napoca, but these stories are rare, also better not to do this cause you may be arrested for this as a separate crime. Easier just to watch you back and not to walk with large amounts of weed in your pockets.

Attitude of locals to cannabis in Cluj-Napoca

Even though high THC cannabis is strictly regulated in Cluj-Napoca - local inhabitants of Cluj-Napoca are not against it at all. Young people and tourists are top target audiences for weed dealers. This does not mean you may walk and smoke joints on the streets, but also no one will be too surprised seeing someone smoking weed.

As Fred told - even local cops in Cluj-Napoca sometimes use cannabis. So in general we may conclude that the atmosphere in Cluj-Napoca is relaxed when we speak about cannabis. Just behave correctly and watch your back - and everything should be cool.

Fred shared with me a small joint of some unknown indica strain that evening, this was exactly what I needed. We were a little bit drunk and were smoking near my hotel directly on the street near trash containers, and it seems I saw other guys doing the same on the opposite side of the street.

One joint is good - but I needed weed for the whole period of my stay in Cluj-Napoca , so asked Fred if he could share contacts of his cannabis dealer. The answer was negative, simply because his dealer did not accept new people. But as we became close after the joint - Fred agreed to become my dealer for the nearest days, so all my issues with weed were resolved, thanks to Fred!

Points to find the weed in Cluj-Napoca

During the time Fred had been my dealer (it was the solving of all my issues) he was telling me about how the things were going in Cluj-Napoca.

High rated providers in Cluj-Napoca buy the cannabis on darknet websites that maintain gross orders. These orders can contain a big amount of weed and hash, kilograms I think. Some websites work on small orders too, so if you are close to Tor browser working and know how to .onion sites doing - glance on thehiddenwiki.com, wait for a couple of days and get your package. This site has all the information needed about darknet.

While if you are having a short vacation or a trip to Cluj-Napoca and need not much weed right now or tomorrow - only local weed dealers may assist you. You may still use oldschool approach and hustle dark streets or parks in search of strange person who will sell you some joint for cash, but not sure this is the best way to spend your time in Cluj-Napoca. Nowadays almost all dealers have gone online and crypto already, so hustling the streets may simply not work. Now the weed-selling process looks like this - you find some messenger contacts of a local dealer (ask some barmans or simply google), contact him and choose what you would like to order, pay in crypto and get your stuff delivered to a hotel or some pre-selected location. Personal meetings are something dealers try to avoid - so weed is usually dropped at some approximate point you firstly discuss, and you get photo and GPS coordinates where to take your package after delivery.

I was a little bit shocked, because I got used to the idea that “cash rules the world”. But after crypto became something you may exchange to real cash, and do not need to meet in person to transfer it - cash started losing its points in the drug business. Fred also commented that now if you do not know crypto - you have a friend who is keen on bitcoins and all that shit, so you may simply ask him to help and do a crypto transaction for you. And I really have such friends, so yep, agree.
