Buds and weed in Quito, Ecuador - my impression
Hello dear rasta audience🤝Want to tell my story about adventures with weed in Quito, 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 Quito, what do local people and cops think about weed, hash availability, pricing, my own experience etc.
Just wrapped up my vacation, spent a fantastic time in Quito, and as a passionate cannabis enthusiast, I can't envision a vacation without enjoying a sativa joint during the day and some indica buds with a cold beer before bedtime. Below, you'll discover the insights I gained while on the hunt for top-notch recreational weed in Quito.

What do Quito locals think about weed and cannabis
Despite non-medical cannabis being officially forbidden in Quito - locals are absolutely absolutely relaxed about this type of light drugs. Young people and tourists are large target audiences for weed dealers in Quito, and all locals know that. This does not mean you may smoke joints in any bars, but no one should be surprised if they find you smoking weed somewhere in the dark corner of the street.
According to Brian - even local cops in Quito are occasional weed smokers, so we may state that the atmosphere is relaxed in everything related to cannabis, while you should anyway watch your back to avoid any stressful situations with police.
We were a little drunk already when Brian 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 Brian shared, not the best one I’ve ever tried, but good enough. So I asked Brian 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 Brian if he could be my dealer during the nearest days - he agreed. I wish everyone to find his own Brian in Quito🙂
How to get weed in Quito?
I did not need a dealer in Quito because I had Brian, anyway it was interesting for me how gears work in Quitoin relation to cannabis.
High-level wholesale Quito 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 Quito, obtaining cannabis through wholesale darknet websites isn't a viable option. Searching for street or park dealers remains a possibility for acquiring weed in Quito, 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, Brian 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 Brian got me thinking, and I realized I also have such a friend, so I followed his suggestion.

Cannabis laws in Quito, Ecuador
It is important to note that cannabis, weed, and hash are prohibited in Quito. 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 Quito 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 Quito?
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 Quito, 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.

Was marijuana legalized Quito?
No, cannabis with high concentration of THC is forbidden in Quito, but local cops and citizens are ok with the smokers. The amount of weed you carry shouldn't be bigger than 10 grams
What if I'm stopped with a hash in Quito?
Police can check your documents and rummage your pockets. They are not looking for you, if you are not a dealer, of course. So if you don't want to have any points with the police try to avoid them.

Interesting facts about weed
Rasta brothers and sisters need your help! Just arrived to Quito and plan to relax daily so please share contacts of trusted dealer with top weed, do not care about the price, top quality is #1 requirement. Have cash, crypto, skrill, paypal etc
I see) One more tourist is searching for weed😀
Any help, jason? Or just laughing?
Sorry bro my dealer disappeared 3 days ago and does not respond so also waiting for someone to share contacts of trusted druid, with delivery option if possible
I thought everyone knows our local wizard Bob Marley with top stuff - @bob_marley_spirit - just mind he may be slow in response sometimes, regular fucking dealer who always smokes his own stuff lol, but the quality worth waiting
Thanks bro marry me 😀 you made my day! will give it a try and comment how everything goes
Ha ha guys, thanks so much, everything went through successfully! Contacted Bob Marley in Telegram, he replied in about an hour, had 3 strains of weed and hash available, prices around $25 for 1g of weed and $35 for hash, but the more you buy the lower price you get. Minimal order is 3g, payment in crypto only and delivery to selected area + drop without personal meeting. I got everything delivered during 40 minutes to the area of my hotel, got photo and description where to grab, just went around my hotel and took empty cola can with weed inside from place on the photo - was easy as 1 2 3. I ordered 5g of Pineapple sativa strain, below attaching photos of this perfection



Congrats bro! I also found another way to get cool weed just in case - my friend share a link to weed auto-sale bot in Telegram. I heared such exist but never used one, so this was my first time haha) Here is the link - @happy_rasta_bot. You are offered several strains and positions that are already hidden (usually in city center), so you just select what you want, pay in crypto and get GPS coordinates and photo of place where to take your stuff. Also after payment bot gives you a unique URL to auto-delete chat with support guy who resolves issues that may happen. I found everything quickly so had no need to contact support, not sure how it works, but these guys look serious. Also made some photos, stuff is top one, pricing is almost the same as Bob Marley has, rather fair as for me. Photo below

Thanks for info! I pinged Bob Marley but he was not responsive as guys warned, so also used a bot - fuck, this is really something new in dealing drugs I should say. Bob Marley replied already when I got stuff from bot, so it was to late - robot won this fight with human🥳Photo below
