Marijuana in Kayseri, 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 Kayseri , tell you about the police attention, possibility to find good hash, the price’s politics and all underwater rocks connected with the drugs in Kayseri.

I have just finished my trip to Kayseri, stayed there for 10 days, now got back home, writing this post while memory is fresh and with a solid joint in my left hand. As a regular weed smoker I could not imagine my stay in Kayseri without having some weed in my pocket. Below I will outline information I found out while looking for some good smelly green buds in Kayseri.

Cannabis laws in Kayseri, Turkey

You can probably guess that distribution of non-medical cannabis is strictly forbidden and regulated by laws of Turkey, 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 Kayseri I got acquainted with Joe 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.

What are the consequences of being caught with marijuana in Kayseri ?

In reality, as Joe pointed out, if you're over 18 and possess fewer than 20 grams of cannabis or 10 grams of hashish and refrain from public consumption, you shouldn't anticipate any legal trouble. At most, law enforcement may seize your belongings once they confirm you're not involved in distribution.

Typically, law enforcement officers do not interfere with foreign tourists who are enjoying their vacation or conducting business trips in Kayseri and contributing to the economy of Turkey.

Where can one acquire cannabis in Kayseri?

Although I personally didn't face any issues with obtaining cannabis in Kayseri thanks to Joe, he did enlighten me about the process (and not just related to cannabis).

Typically, higher-level dealers procure their inventory from wholesale darknet websites. In theory, you could navigate the complexities of using darknet platforms to have your order delivered in a matter of days or even weeks. The website thehiddenwiki.com provides all the necessary links to make purchases in the darknet using the Tor browser and cryptocurrencies. However, this method is generally more suitable for those seeking larger quantities and have the luxury of time (several days) for delivery.

If you're on a short vacation or a trip to Kayseri, obtaining cannabis through wholesale darknet websites isn't a viable option. Searching for street or park dealers remains a possibility for acquiring weed in Kayseri, but an increasing number of dealers are transitioning to online transactions through messaging apps and Bitcoin payments instead of cash. This approach serves as a protective measure against potential encounters with law enforcement. Crypto payments offer anonymity, and deliveries are made to specified locations without the need for in-person meetings, ensuring both you and the dealer are shielded from potential consequences.

This revelation surprised me, as I lean toward a more traditional approach and had only heard about cryptocurrencies in passing. However, these days, most young individuals, who are often the target audience for cannabis dealers, possess crypto wallets, so dealers are simply adapting to this trend. While I believe that some dealers might lose business because not all clients are familiar with cryptocurrencies, Joe pointed out that nowadays, if you don't use crypto yourself, you likely have a friend who does. In such cases, you can simply transfer money from your card to your crypto-savvy friend, and they can conduct the cryptocurrency transaction on your behalf. This advice from Joe got me thinking, and I realized I also have such a friend, so I followed his suggestion.

Attitude of locals to cannabis in Kayseri

Even though high THC cannabis is strictly regulated in Kayseri - local inhabitants of Kayseri 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 Joe told - even local cops in Kayseri sometimes use cannabis. So in general we may conclude that the atmosphere in Kayseri 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 Joe 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 Joe shared, not the best one I’ve ever tried, but good enough. So I asked Joe 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 Joe if he could be my dealer during the nearest days - he agreed. I wish everyone to find his own Joe in Kayseri🙂

Interesting facts about weed

1 - Cannabis Goes Back At Least 12,000 Years
This means that cannabis is one of mankind’s oldest crops, according to the book Marihuana: The First Twelve Thousand Years by E. L. Abel.

2 - Modern-Day Cannabis Is A Lot Stronger
We talked about this on the cannabis flower and its influence in the 60s. For one, it’s purer than the illegal “hippie weed” that was imported into the United States. And it’s also been cultivated to increase its THC content, so the high you get from marijuana today is a lot stronger than what your parents or grandparents consumed.

3 - You Can’t Lethally Overdose On Cannabis
Don’t get us wrong. You can overdose on cannabis, which means consuming more than the recommended amount. What it means is that it’s practically impossible for you to consume the amount of cannabis it would take to kill a person.

4 - California Banned First
A century ago, California was the first state in the United States to ban cannabis. This is a bit ironic when we look at the fun fact above. But it looks like Cali learned its lesson!
