Life / Weed (Cannabis) prices in Poland. (Difficulty to obtain) [31]

And it seems that ingesting no drugs at all make you arrogant and self righteous :)

For someone who is supposedly apathetic and lazy I sure cared a lot about your opinion and took a few hours of my own time to craft a response. Thanks anyway for your help and comments. I just wanted to vaporise some THC and listen to music to unwind in the evenings, not get high and pilot an aeroplane or attempt to transplant a vital organ. I wouldn't even risk driving when high, nevermind going to work or babysitting a young child.

I guess so. I think simply it varies from person to person. Some people can live life without even a cup of coffee each day. Some people need a joint with breakfast. Some people need a blue pill to get their dick hard. Some people need a cigarette every hour to keep themselves calm. Some people need life saving blood thinning medication to keep their heart pumping.

Every chemical we consume can be argued as being a drug and each of these chemicals affects different people differently. It doesn't make you superior to any one else just because you don't require any of these. And just because you enjoy the effect a particular chemical has on your body doesn't mean you can't handle reality. That's a naive viewpoint and completely disregards drugs that aren't intoxicating in the slightest.

And yeah chips and ice cream would be lovely, thanks.

@johnny reb
In my opinion and from my experiences it's a myth that's been pushed to keep people away from any drug. I've smoked cannabis for almost nine years and have never touched an "addictive" drug (e.g cocaine, heroin), just psychedelics.

I understand why people call it a gateway drug and it's usually because cannabis is the first drug available to young people as its so common. Therefore it brings people into a connection with 'shady' people and makes it easier for those who want to try harder drugs to actually try these harder drugs.

I think it's a certain kind of person that progresses in a gateway fashion. I can only speak from personal experiences but I've seen many more lives torn apart through alcoholism than torn apart through addiction to marijuana.

There is a lot of evidence in legal cannabis states that show that legal cannabis has lead to a reduction in opiate use and overdose deaths from prescription painkillers. My theory is that if a drug is illegal then people will group them together, especially if like Poland the punishments are similar. Caught with weed, prison. Caught with heroin, prison. If the risk is the same then surely addicts will likely use the genuinely physically addictive drug. I've never tried heroin but I'm guessing it must feel pretty ******* good if people tear their own lives apart for it. So if the risk is the same as a few grams of weed then why not take the risk and try the stronger stuff. If weed is legal I feel less people will meet these 'shady' types and less people will advance onto stronger substances.

Sorry for the essay but it genuinely annoys me when people don't differentiate between substances and the affects these substances have.

"The total annual cost to society of alcohol-related harm is estimated to be £21bn. The NHS incurs £3.5bn a year in costs related to alcohol. Few other health harms have such high overall costs when the impact on productivity and crime are included."

I personally have been assaulted multiple times by people under the influence of alcohol on nights out in the UK, I am sure this occurs in Poland. I have also been mugged by someone addicted to heroin. One time this guy who was high off weed shared his life story and his bag of cookies with me.

Weed and heroin are linked in the sense that they are both illegal, the comparisons stop there.

Edit: also johnnyreb I said "usually unrelated", not completely unrelated.

Seems like Kraków is a bit harder than Prague in this respect. Thanks anyway though!!
Maybe I'll get lucky and bump into someone rocking a marijuana leaf t shirt or something in the next few days. Either that or somehow zakopane is flush with weed, which I doubt haha

Thanks for such a fast response. Just signed up for a Facebook to give it a try haha.
Tried a few different keywords but not really much luck. Was this a general piece of advice or is there a specific group you had in mind?

I highly doubt policja are scouting forums like this for small time weed dealers. Even the most well funded police forces in the world don't have time or man power for this.

Sorry to resume an old thread but I was just wondering if any of the people who previously posted had any luck finding weed? I'm in Kraków for a few more days and then heading to zakopane. Ideally I want the weed for my time in the mountains but I highly doubt I'll be able to find any in such a small city. Kraków is my best bet but I've tried and no luck. I asked around the bars in Kazimierz as subtly as possible and even a few groups of skater teenagers. Surely a city of this size has a fairly large weed subculture.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If it was my hometown I'd return the favour ;). Maybe private message sturzenbeats@gmail
