Marijuana in Gaziantep, Turkey - my experience

Howdy, go-getters 🤝My greetings to you in my long topic about my experience with weed in _CITY_ based on my adventures and the stories of local friends.

There is a well known fact that the laws according to the usage of marijuana differs from city to city. Based on that fact I've decided to write this article to let you know the rules of interaction with weed and hash in Gaziantep , tell you about the police attention, possibility to find good hash, the price’s politics and all underwater rocks connected with the drugs in Gaziantep.

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

Cannabis laws in Gaziantep, Turkey

It is important to note that cannabis, weed, and hash are prohibited in Gaziantep. You can not officially purchase marijuana strains with high THC concentration in some coffee shops like in Amsterdam. Medical CBD cannabis may be available for purchase at dispensaries, but a prescription from a doctor is required, and you will never get high with CBD.

In one sports bar I got acquainted with Brian who moved to Gaziantep 3 years ago, so he knows the local drug scene. According to Brian - despite cannabis being banned according to laws, cops are generally relaxed about weed, sometimes being smokers themselves.

But what if you get caught with weed in your pocket in Gaziantep?

According to Brian - 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 Gaziantep, 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.

Local attitude towards weed and cannabis in Gaziantep

Although only medical cannabis is allowed in Gaziantep, the locals are absolutely ok with the smokers. Local dealers have big cash from the students and tourists, so they are their weed target audiences in Gaziantep. You shouldn't allow yourself to smoke anywhere, for example in bars, but nobody is surprised if you get caught smoking weed in a secluded corner of the street.

One more interesting fact from my new friend Brian - even some cops in Gaziantep prefer smoking weed over drinking strong. So as I understood Gaziantep is a good place for smokers of marijuana because of the light atmosphere, but all the same the best rule is not to be caught with weed in Gaziantep 😉.

Brian 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 Gaziantep , so asked Brian 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 - Brian agreed to become my dealer for the nearest days, so all my issues with weed were resolved, thanks to Brian!

How to get weed in Gaziantep?

I did not need a dealer in Gaziantep because I had Brian, anyway it was interesting for me how gears work in Gaziantepin relation to cannabis.

High-level wholesale Gaziantep dealers purchase weed and hash on the darknet websites. Usually these sites are about wholesale multi-kilo orders, but some also work with small amounts. So in fact this may be an option #1 for you - under the condition you know how to use darknet features of Tor browser and .onion sites + ready to wait 3-5 days for the delivery. If yes - you may find all the info about darknet websites on thehiddenwiki.com - darknet wikipedia.

If you are just having a short vacation or a trip to Gaziantep - purchasing weed via wholesale darknet websites is not an option. Looking for dealers on the streets and in parks is still something you may do to find some weed in Gaziantep, but more and more dealers are shifting to online orders done via messengers and payments in bitcoins instead of cash. This simply protects them from ever being caught by cops. Crypto payments are anonymous and delivery is done to selected location without any personal meetings, so both you and the dealer are secured from any possible consequences.

This was a surprise for me cause I am more old school and just “heard something about crypto”. While now all youngsters (who are usually a target group for cannabis dealers) have crypto wallets so dealers simply follow the trend. I think dealers are losing money anyway because not all clients know crypto, but Brian commented that nowadays if you do not use crypto - you 100% have a friend who uses it, so you may just send him money from card and he does crypto transaction for you. After that I remembered I also have such a friend, so I agreed with Brian.
