Just come to Vietnam or on the way to Vietnam? And you are Looking for Weed in Saigon?

Weed Laws in Vietnam

Cannabis has a wide range of health benefits and it can also help people with a variety of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis and others. However, cannabis is banned in Vietnam.

Vietnam still have a death sentence, and you can get executed by using or distributing drugs; cannabis included! The laws are mainly referring to imprisonment; if you’re lucky, but also, for selling or distributing, the penalties can lead you in front of shooting squad.

Very shock right? and we said, alright, no cannabis for us! After an initial thought, we decided to find a way to get and smoke around the country and do the most detailed research ever! Later, after talking with many locals, expats, tourists and reading many stories on different forums, we concluded that the laws aren’t enforced by the police officers when it comes to cannabis; especially if a foreigner consumes it.

Vietnam wants to become a huge tourist destination and police doesn’t want to bother foreigners for smoking a joint since it can possibly make a country less attractive for young travelers. It has its benefits, but also many disadvantages. For instance, in major cities where there is a huge expat community, you can walk around the street and smell cannabis on each step.

That’s cool at first sight, but when you think a bit about local people living there, it’s probably not the best thing ever! We saw many people openly walking around the city while smoking a huge spliff without caring about anything or anyone. It’s generally OK to smoke, but always use your common sense while doing anything illegal in a foreign country.

Especially in Vietnam since the cops are very corrupt, so if they want, they will get a considerable bribe from you. Don’t be the guy who is smoking in the middle of the street during the day. It’s stupid and not respectful to local people.

No matter what, don’t grow or sell weed there. Even if you’re a tourist, you will end up in huge trouble and possibly in life imprisonment. Also, don’t think about smuggling cannabis from the other country to Vietnam.

There are a lot of places where you can score good quality cannabis around the country, so don’t worry that you won’t find any.

Getting weed in Saigon is very easy and you must be very unlucky not to get your hands on some cannabis. The quality can vary a lot, but still, for the price you pay you will definitely get a certain buzz. Saigon is known for a vibrant nightlife so it’s not a surprise to see many tourists and expats having the best time of their lives around the city.

Once you’re walking around the streets of Saigon, you will smell cannabis here and there. Your best bet is by checking the popular backpackers’ street called Bui Vien street.

The nightlife there is very vibrant and many street shops are around. Also, the bars filled with tourists are at each step, and you will definitely smell some cannabis from some of these.

You know what to do! 🙂

Also, on Bui Vien street, you will get approached by many taxi drivers who’d like to sell you cannabis openly on the street. Some people reported being scammed and not getting the real cannabis, so if possible, always try to check out the stuff before giving your money away. There are hundreds of ways how you can get scammed in Vietnam.

Don’t forget to check the intersection between Pham Ngu Lao street and De Tham street as there will be always a few motorbike drivers chilling and offering cannabis.

We found cannabis by checking the party events where foreigners come, so it was very easy to score some cannabis there.

The best bet would be to get to know expats who’re living in the city for a longer period as they probably have connections.

Also, don’t forget to check party hostels around Saigon!
