How and Where to Get Weed in Bansko:
Don’t expect to easily find weed when you visit Bansko. Although cannabis consumption is now usual for younger generation, it’s not as popular or prevalent as other vices like Vape, cigarettes and alcohol. The strict laws against cannabis mean you can face jail time for possessing even a few grams. But some people managed to score weed in Bansko; Just ask a random dude that looks like a stoner, if they’ve got weed on them. They might try to inflate the price if they think you’re clueless when it comes to pricing so be aware of that.
Eur15/gram would be a great price for weed here but it can sometimes go as high as Eur20/gram, depending on the grade.
That said, the strains you find in Bansko aren’t nearly as good as other strains that can be found in other countries because there aren’t any exotics. Hash is a lot more common than weed so you might have to settle for that.
