How to Buy Mary Jane Abroad: Tips and Real Experiences

How to Buy Mary Jane Abroad?

Hello everyone, this is Pavluu. Yesterday I got back from vacation—I visited Thailand, Koh Samui. Why am I writing this? Many of us face the question: should you bring something with you and risk smuggling it, or just buy weed abroad? The answer is obvious—get your stash locally, and it’s actually pretty easy. How do you do it? Let’s start with some basic tips and move on to practical advice and a little insider info.

General Tips for Buying Weed Abroad

You’ll probably find yourself in a situation where someone offers to sell you weed. This can be risky and sketchy, though it depends on the situation. If someone approaches you on the beach or on the street, it’s best to refuse—you’ll either get ripped off, pay 3-5 times the real price, or even get set up by the cops, which is pretty common in Southeast Asian countries.

On the other hand, if you make friends with someone and they offer to smoke or sell you some, it’s up to you to decide if you trust them. If it’s a local, like a hotel worker, your chances are good (I’ve had this experience and the guy turned out to be awesome—we still keep in touch).

The easiest option is to ask taxi drivers, bartenders, waiters, or sex workers. I don’t really recommend taxi drivers—they’ll charge you double or triple and might scam you. The others usually have stuff on them or nearby.

Be ready for them to just ask, “How much money do you have?” and hook you up for that amount. I recommend saying you have no more than 50 euros or the equivalent in local currency.

Practical Experiences in Europe

Here are some real-life experiences from me and my friends:

  • Germany (Ulm, Berlin): You can score from skaters at skate parks, or from Black or Arab guys selling hookahs, bongs, grinders, etc.
  • Spain (Marbella): Almost every other Black street vendor (selling souvenirs, sunglasses, tourist stuff) can hook you up. Mostly they sell Moroccan hash—be ready, it’s pretty rough. No weed buds here; for that, head to Barcelona.
  • Greece (Crete): Easiest way is from gypsies in the parks—they hang out and sell in the evenings. There’s also a better option: message me and I’ll give you a contact who can get you local prices plus a 10-20% fee. You’ll need to go to Heraklion or Hersonissos.

What About Prices?

Don’t let yourself get ripped off! I don’t remember the exact prices for the first two cases, but I can break down Crete for you. These prices are about the same across Europe. In Italy and Spain, subtract about 20%.

  • 1 gram of weed for locals: 5-7 euros
  • 1 gram for tourists: 10-15 euros
  • 1 gram for clueless tourists: 25-100 euros

Discounts apply for larger amounts, just like anywhere. My purchases on Crete:

  • 5 grams sativa – 50 euros
  • 8 grams indica – 70 euros
  • 5 grams indica – 45 euros

Insider Info on Thailand

To my surprise, it’s much easier in Thailand—specifically on Koh Samui. There are a LOT of Bob Marley and reggae fans here, so there are themed cafes and bars on the island.

1) Rock Bar (Lamai area)

This is a surefire spot to get weed. There are usually about six people working or hanging out there. Go in, say hi to everyone, order a beer, and try to find the “Old Man”—he’s the owner. You’ll spot him right away because he’ll come up to you. If he’s not there, his stand-in is a guy with dreads and permanently red eyes. But the Old Man is there 9 times out of 10. He’s a funny guy with stashes all over the bar, which is built on huge rocks by the sea—hence the name. The place is chill, with live music and a great vibe.

Prices at Rock Bar
  • 1 joint (1.5 grams, 50% tobacco / 50% weed): 200 baht (~$5.50)
  • 1 packet (5 grams, pressed): 1000 baht (~$27)
Important Tips
  • For your first time, buy joints and smoke them right there. Thank the Old Man and everyone else when you leave.
  • Don’t buy joints just to break them up in your room for your own bong or pipe—it’s not worth it since they’re half tobacco.
  • When buying a packet, ALWAYS say you’re going straight to your room and won’t share with anyone. This matters to them, but if you mention it, it’s all good.
  • Go to the bar in the evening—the Old Man sleeps all day, and if his stand-in isn’t there, you won’t be able to buy during the day.
  • It’s normal for the guys here to ask for tips. Give the Old Man 250 baht for your first joint, or just don’t take your 20 baht change from your beer. If you buy for 1000 baht, tip the Old Man or the guy with dreads 50-100 baht extra—they’ll be happy to see you next time.

2) Reggae Pub (Chaweng area)

This is a rastafarian pub in another part of the island. Super cool place with a great view. Only buy from male waiters here!

Prices at Reggae Pub
  • 2.5-3 grams (pressed): 1000 baht (~$27)

They charged us double at first, and we thought we got ripped off. But the quality was actually better than the usual pressed weed, so it was worth it.

Important Tips
  • Don’t smoke inside the bar—seriously, don’t even try!
  • Hide your stash as soon as you leave, since the bar is out in the open and surrounded by roads—there’s a chance of running into cops.

Useful Phrases

  1. Hey, I need some weed / joints / hemp / Mary Jane / marijuana. Can you help me?
    Translation: Hi, I need some weed. Can you help me?
  2. How much for: gram / packet / joint?

Good luck and stay safe!
