Cannabis in Fergana, Uzbekistan: my journey

Hello, cannabis enthusiasts! As you may be aware, cannabis laws and regulations can differ significantly from place to place. Join me as I delve into the world of cannabis in Fergana. In this post, I will explore the landscape of cannabis laws, regulations, the local community's stance, interactions with law enforcement, comparisons between hash and weed availability, as well as the costs associated with acquiring cannabis in Fergana.

I've just come back from an interesting journey to Fergana. 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 Fergana.

Marijuana regulations in Fergana, Uzbekistan

You should know that storage and distribution of non-medical cannabis is forbidden and strictly regulated by laws of Uzbekistan. This means you can not go and buy some good weed in an official shop like you may do in Canada for example. Low THC and high CBD cannabis may be ordered if you have a prescription from a doctor.

On my first evening in Fergana I met Alex who moved here a couple of years ago. I got lucky - he was one of the heavy weed smokers, so he agreed to share a joint with me and tell me some stories about local dealers. As he said from the very beginning - even though weed is prohibited in Fergana - cops are overall calm and relaxed in everything related to cannabis, this made me feel better.

What if I get caught with marijuana in Fergana?

In fact, according to Alex - if you have less than 10g of weed or 5g of hash and behave correctly + do not smoke joints in public - nothing critical should happen. Cops will check if you are not intending to sell the stuff being a real dealer, they should just confiscate weed after a short talk.

People say sometimes police officers try to get some material benefits from catching you with weed in Fergana. These stories are rare, but mind that some cops may force you giving them some money to leave you alone. But never try to offer them anything yourself, this may be treated as a separate crime. Easier just to watch your back not not get caught with weed in Fergana.

Attitude of locals to cannabis in Fergana

Even though high THC cannabis is strictly regulated in Fergana - local inhabitants of Fergana 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 Alex told - even local cops in Fergana sometimes use cannabis. So in general we may conclude that the atmosphere in Fergana is relaxed when we speak about cannabis. Just behave correctly and watch your back - and everything should be cool.

We were a little drunk already when Alex offered a joint of some noname sativa strain, of course I agreed. We were smoking not far from my hotel and it seems I saw other guys doing the same near another cornet 🙂So may say locals are not against weed, I saw this myself.

I liked the weed Alex shared, not the best one I’ve ever tried, but good enough. So I asked Alex to share contacts of his dealer, while he refused telling me his dealer works only with an old trusted set of clients. So I simply asked Alex if he could be my dealer during the nearest days - he agreed. I wish everyone to find his own Alex in Fergana🙂

So where do smokers purchase weed in Fergana?

Despite the fact that I did not have any problems with weed in Fergana because of Alex, 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.

But if you have a short trip to Fergana or vacation + need not too much weed and right now - only small local dealers may help you. Walking dark streets in a search for a strange-looking person who will sell you something that looks like weed for cash is still an option, but this is not the best way to spend time in Fergana and does not guarantee you any success. Today almost all dealers went online already, so they arrange the delivery of stuff after taking crypto instead of cash. They try to avoid meetings in person so you just select the approximate drop off point, and get a photo where exactly to take your stuff after the delivery. Stuff is usually masked and looks not suspicious (may be a pack of juice or cigarettes you just take and continue walking).

I was surprised, really. Looks like I am too oldschool already - thought cash rules the world. While nowadays you may anonymously exchange crypto to cash - so for all illegal payments this became option #1. So now the dealing process looks like this - you find some messenger contacts of a local dealer (ask google or local barman), contact him and choose what you want to order, pay in crypto and get your stuff delivered to some pre-selected place (that may be your hotel). 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.

Can I smoke cannabis on the streets in Fergana ?

In some places, smoking marijuana in public, on the streets, or in parks may be illegal and subject to administrative sanctions. My advice is to try to avoid smoking marijuana in public places.

What will happen if I get caught with cannabis in Fergana ?

Usually, law enforcement tends to be lenient with tourists, and if they don't suspect you of dealing, they will most likely let you go.

Can you recommend a place to buy weed in Fergana ?

As I mentioned before, I was fortunate to meet Alex. If I were you, I would look for Telegram channels and avoid interacting with street dealers.

Weed and hash pricing in Fergana?

Prices may vary from one dealer to another and depends on weed quality and dealer’s greediness😂From what I heard from Alex - high quality weed may go up to $20 - $25 for 1g (the more you buy the cheaper price you get), and high quality hash should be around $30 - $35 for 1g.

Yes, while quality may differ, it depends on many factors. Usually quality depends on the price, but this is not a rule.
