Buds and weed in Nukus, Uzbekistan - my impression

Hello dear rasta audience🤝Want to tell my story about adventures with weed in Nukus, with some stories of local inhabitant.

You are probably aware that marijuana laws are different in different places. This article should shed light on cannabis regulations in Nukus, what do local people and cops think about weed, hash availability, pricing, my own experience etc.

I have just finished my trip to Nukus, 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 Nukus without having some weed in my pocket. Below I will outline information I found out while looking for some good smelly green buds in Nukus.

Local attitude towards weed and cannabis in Nukus

Although only medical cannabis is allowed in Nukus, 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 Nukus. 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 Sam - even some cops in Nukus prefer smoking weed over drinking strong. So as I understood Nukus 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 Nukus 😉.

Generally, the local stance on cannabis is quite laid-back, so you might start feeling at ease in Nukus after enjoying a single quality joint, and I can attest to this from my own experience. Sam graciously shared a wonderfully satisfying sativa joint with me, even though he wasn't sure about the specific strain. We were indulging outside a bar and noticed other individuals across the street doing the same 😁. It's safe to say that cannabis consumption is quite prevalent in Nukus.

I inquired with Sam about the possibility of obtaining his dealer's contact information because the quality of the product was exceptional. He explained that his specific dealer doesn't take on new clients, so he graciously offered to be my supplier during my vacation, which turned out to be an ideal arrangement. I hope everyone has the chance to encounter their own Sam in one of Nukus's bars.

How to get weed in Nukus?

I did not need a dealer in Nukus because I had Sam, anyway it was interesting for me how gears work in Nukusin relation to cannabis.

High-level wholesale Nukus 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're on a short vacation or a trip to Nukus, obtaining cannabis through wholesale darknet websites isn't a viable option. Searching for street or park dealers remains a possibility for acquiring weed in Nukus, 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, Sam 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 Sam got me thinking, and I realized I also have such a friend, so I followed his suggestion.

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