From what I've heard it's super easy to get a prescription there on the spot, as the dispensaries are now required to have a medical professional in-house.

Most common cause used is insomnia, apparently that's reason enough and most people wouldn't even be lying 😅

Nice one! 👌🤞

Haven't been myself but have come across plenty of vids on YouTube of how easy it is to get a prescription, you wont have a problem! You'll have a great time

I go to Lanzarote every January, and usually visit the club in Playa Blanca…Never had any issues taking away a little something with me to consume at my villa

Another fan of Lanzarote here. Its quiet and friendly. The food is generally of a decent standard most places. The weed scene is very, very easy to integrate into. Some places are pricey. Outdoor weed is good there, they can do 3 grows a year! The best thing about the canaries is its proximity to morocco. Lanzarote is awash with good clean hashes from lovely polms to oily hassans. All hashes are available and are cheap. Ive only ever seen locals smoke hash. Never weed. Some clubs are overpriced. Stay off the strips/proms. Enjoy

Barcelona, without a doubt. Have a hunt on socials, plenty of clubs about, give them a shout beforehand.

Be discrete, it’s not the same as Amsterdam, and do not buy off the street.

I travel to Mallorca a lot, I use my UK based vendor to post my goodies to a Spanish address that I can use.
Always turns up, takes about 2-3 weeks EU tracked delivery via Royal Mail

Seville is great, I was a member of the ‘kong’ club there which had a fab selection of weed, hash and pollens for good prices.

They also let you
Leave with your purchase.

You have to pay a joining fee of about £10.

Was in Torremilinos in march, couple of clubs there and good selections

Same location, but last June. Really enjoyed it. Went to MagZ and mood 420. MagZ was basically a really good and relaxed dam coffee shop. All the products looked amazing - the hash was all really good. Mood 420 was a villa with a pool that was so relaxing. The owner was super chilled and the menu was small but quality.

Membership was 10 for mood and free for MagZ.

I was really impressed, free from that eggy vibe that some coffee shops have.

Spain is very well known for cannabis usage and clubs. Clubs are awesome but won't allow you to take anything out with you

It's also the easiest place to score though - never had an issue finding hash by asking locals if they knew where to find "chocolate" (ie hash)

That just plain not true, I've been to over 20 clubs all over spain never once not been able to leave with my product. Obviously it not legal outside but they're just going to tell you if you get caught never say you got it from here.

So no clubs let you take it out of the shop?

I was in playa blanca (lanzarote) in January. 3 spots to choose from, ended up at weed mania so can't comment on others, but WM were great, and no issues taking away, provided you stayed for 10-15 mins, so enough for a wee sample.
Both flower and hash were great, as someone else has said, you cat knock the hash being so close to morroco, it was really good.
Would recommend trying one of their cookies too😄

This is what I wanted to hear haha

Not officially, but bossman might turn a blind eye if you show face a lot and he likes you lol

Counter suggestion - go local?
I'd even consider ordering from a Spanish vendor if you have a home address on your holiday

Check out thegoodstuff and drtonychopper they both ship out of Spain so you could send yourself some goodies if the accommodation is fitting 🙂

Totally, yeah I know these places aren’t supposed to let you leave with it but… ye know.

I’ve wondered about getting stuff delivered to a villa or a P.O. Box but always been wary of that. Like holiday villas never get mail eh, and timing it right is awkward - knowing my luck it’ll arrive 2 days before I leave haha.

I think most sellers avoid PO boxes. It's annoying cos most UK vendors offer same day delivery but it seems like not to Spain. Might be worth speaking to them directly as they might be able to sort you out with the delivery?

Check out the history of elysium lanzarote. Sold everuthing for 10 a gram. Thats how it worked. Amazing place. Amazing people. Contributors to society. Elysium in mata gorta was super good. Hassan, polm, flower. Indoor, outdoor. Price umbrella 10. 3 seasons of chocolate mint o.g. indoor and out.

Elysium basically were a collective, and from what I can see they poured all the profit into covid prevention at the time. True cannabis heros them folks. They tried to fry my brain too which was super nice of them. Thanks for the dabs.

Basically these clubs are like bars in that they sell drinks (alcohol and soft/hot/cold) and smoking paraphernalia as well and they provide music, games machines etc.

It’s expected that you at least stop there and have a drink and a smoke once you’ve bought your purchase rather than just pissing off immediately after you’ve bought something.
That’s bad form and frowned upon and will probably earn you a less than open armed welcome next time around.

Other than that you are free to leave and take your purchase with you, obviously bearing in mind the Spanish police will nick you if you are caught brazenly in public smoking.
Just be careful and be cool!.

Old fashioned good manners and a friendly attitude will see you treated accordingly.

Simple.

I still know a guy in lanza. Just sayin.

Depends if you like saxaphones

A horrible shithole full of desperate, impoverished people with no healthcare - just like the rest of the USA.

More weed than LA

More weedshops than bathrooms, I had to hold it in till got to New Jersey.

NJ is better than NY anyway. The food is just as good and there's a lot less tourists.

Beautiful place. Did u get stoned there haha?

Lol!

Romania is fantastic👍….Transylvania genuinely spooky…lively and young street drinking culture…stunning women (all vampires obvs)…

I'll second that. I travelled from Cornwall to Bucharest by train last year, them onto Bulgaria. Romania is bloody stunning, especially as the train line followed the Danube and you could see across into Serbia.

Aosta Italy: friendly un-touristy, Lambrusca by the gallon and the Alps at your feet.

krakow poland exemplifies many eras of europe with castles, squares and poignant reminders of ww2. the people are very friendly and the salt mines are a wonder of the world - the spot in the pic is carved out of salt hundreds of feet below ground.

Vietnam or Laos. Vietnam blew me away. Favourite spots were Hoi An, Tay Ninh and Can Thó. Stunning.

I'm with you on Vietnam, been there three times. Absolutely beautiful country.

Detroit, laugh all you like but this city has great architecture, music, food and people.

….and some great value real estate in certain parts!👍

Please god don’t leave the city centre/Cape Town it’s like a different world outside of the capital but I’m from Cape Town ( originally) it’s actually a very western cosmopolitan place like London with a cool “woke” downtown full of expensive bars and Islington/camden style living.

It’s also on the beach with a Mediterranean style climate 1 hour from most national park and safaris.

Despite what you hear in the new it’s actually a pretty good place to live

I was lucky enough to work on festivals/concerts and did a tour of Denmark that place surprised me really nice people, amazing beaches , also the outer Hebrides had amazing beaches

Tblisi

Majestic!

Kolkata. Didn't expect to like it. It is now my favourite city. So intense. Wonderful people. Great food. Amazing architecture.

Lisbon, Portugal is quite underrated. Lovely place, great sea food and amazing views. Although my favourite destination ever is either Tokyo or Toronto. Best holidays I ever had, Tokyo for tourism and Toronto for partying!

West Co Kerry, Ireland. All along the wild atlantic way, Kenmare, Sneem, Glenbeigh, Killarney to name a few stops. So many good spots to stop, fire one up or have a pint and enjoy.

Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands, stunningly Divine!! is that underrated though? 😂…

Honestly County Clare in Southern Ireland, my uncle married an Irish girl and moved there.

It really is like father ted there, your neighbours not for miles but you go into the local village and it’s just five pubs all joined on to each other.

The friendliest people I’ve ever met, it almost made not having anything to smoke for a week bearable…almost.

New Zealand is easily the most beautiful place I've ever been. Absolutely stunning. I wasn't particularly excited about going there at first, I thought it would be a bit boring, but after spending a few days on the North Island I completely fell in love with it. I even considered living there for a while.

We drove down from Auckland to Wellington and must have taken thousands of pictures. It's breathtaking. Probably the best two weeks I've ever spent abroad in my life.

When we left Wellington we flew to Melbourne, Australia, (which i was really excited about visiting) and it has to be the single most overrated city on the planet. Couldn't wait to leave. Absolute dump.

Funny how these things turn out sometimes!

Just my opinion though. No offence Melbournians 😉

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

But did you get to South Island BB?….a whole other world again down there!…

I didn't, but oddly enough my phone did!

I left it on the plane from Wellington to Melbourne which flew back to Christchurch where the airport staff found it and mailed it to Aus for me. So my phone has been to more places around the world than I have!

I definitely plan to go back and visit the south island, I've heard only great things. Its such a long way away though or I'd go there all the time.

24 hour flights.... 😒

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

I’d love to visit NZ, I can speak a bit of Maori because I used to play online with some Maori mates and they’re some of the nicest down to earth people I’ve ever met

Considering it’s just a ferry ride they are completely different worlds…north is all sheep, rolling plains, and long beaches.. South is mad glaciers, extreme sports & penguins…just crazy 🤩👍

Kampot in Cambodia, went for a week last year and stayed for 3 months.
Beautiful scenery, can blaze pretty much anywhere in most western owned restaurants and bars at least. 50cent beers and a wacky expat crowd. Going back later this year too hopefully for a year 😜

Yup, Cambodia is my favourite. There's a hostel (or was) that sells (or sold) very tasty burgers also pre roles and edibles.
It's next door nearly to ecstatic pizza where you can get a special pizza and i know a very good noodle spot too

Dont forget kep if youre in the neighbourhood

Think they've finished the concrete road now!

I'm in SR now, for the long haul I hope 😆

What a romantic city, enjoy bigga.

If you’re South Asia bound , Laos although has a clear tourist path nowadays very easy to leave it , Borneo for amazing wildlife that if we carry on will probably be gone in a few years, Hampi in india like being on a weird cross between Mars and ancient civilizations , jailsalmer india again ancient city, for the smokers the himilayas in india

Have to say some great picks in this convo the one for me personally is cornwall on a warm clear night the sky is amazing to just be at one with nature and look up at it ;)

Croatia is mesmerizing!

Montenegro. Stunning. Also just came back from the Island of Menorca. Stunning place also.

Ceep to the 55th street cuh

If you go full old style smelly hippy, Goa and Kerala still really deliver...

Laos is an amazing place with inexpensive accommodation, food, and recreation, all of which you will enjoy.

Eastern Europe is way more european than the west, the iron curtain shielded them from globalisation. The prices are brilliant and the quality is high with the pride and inspiration that characterises an earlier stage of capitalism.

The Alps, there are zillions of empty spots for every budget some have glaciers and they all have thrilling mountain rides that you only get in the summer.

French alps in winter is potentially my favourite spot

Albania

po!

Wow albania is definitely a place Id love to visit one day

Well worth it familia x

I used sunweb for my skii trip in the alps, all inclusive 5 star resort with lift pass, flight, transfer and snowboard equipment for approx. £500 for 5 days. Absolute bargain! One of my favourite holidays. Lake Como in Italy is also great, been there twice now 👌 stunning views and immaculate vibes!

Explore the unknown that's available, especially places you've never considered. There is plenty to pick from once you open your mind. The best and most affordable trips start just this way.

Croatia, Italy or Switzerland tbh but depends on your vibes

Wait til the kids go back to school! …September in the Greek Isles is top! 👍🥰

100 percent I think september is the new august anyway now lol

got back from Granada was real nice and great value. If you can get there in the next 2 months Barcelona would be a good place to visit before all the social clubs close

Agreed, I went to Istanbul during Ramadan a few years ago and it was fantastic. Highly recommend that city, just a beautiful place and the food is amazing!

Cheers. BB

Got to love Turkish food 🤌

My Auntie and her “friend” went to Turkey during Ramadan and she said it was nightmare. Agreed that it was a beautiful place and the food was beyond superb.

Apparently Jordan is quite chill. Haven’t been but have seen a documentary following a guy (Levison Wood) travelling around Arabia and definitely Jordan is more relaxed than some surrounding countries. Also Petra is in Jordan which looks amazing

Egyptians are hard to beat however you slice it.

I dunno, they didn't do too well in the Suez war... And I'm pretty sure the ottomans beat them a couple times too.

Malaysia & Indonesia definitely worth a mention! Very underrated as tourist destinations. Azerbaijan is a fairly secular Muslim nation, with a big drinking culture & nightclubs, same goes for Kosovo. Friend of mine visited both & had a great time. Apparently Kosovans love Brits. Morocco is very regional, but always friendly. I've never been but some of the best & most hospitable people I've encountered come from there - a colleague of mine gave me a big chunk of hash at work once because he was despairing at the shwag I was smoking (pre-LB days!).

Wow as a British Muslim I came here expecting the same regurgitated racist nonsense you see all over Facebook etc. I just want to say it’s a breath of fresh air seeing all these posts. I also wanted to say that first and foremost I would consider myself British, my dad moved to this country 30+ years ago (whether due to prior circumstances or not) and has built an amazing life for us all here in much we certainly wouldn’t have been able to enjoy in his own country.
The problem is you have people coming over nowadays who do not want to intergrate into British society at all, learn the language? No thanks, try some traditional English food? don’t eat that horrible bland food. Claim the benefits? Yes please. I find myself in a situation where I am unable to buy a home, unable to live comfortably while working what I would say is a fairly good job all because 1000+ goes towards deductions and funding these kind of people. These kind of people are the real problem and tarnish the reputation of everyone else.

To the OPs question most countries barring Saudi Arabia are fine for a visit just be sure to obey the local customs. Saudi Arabia is full of bigoted hypocrites so I would steer well clear of there. Some notable examples which are quite liberal are Morocco and Turkey. Istanbul and marrakech are good city breaks and there are also loads of resort towns such as Agadir, Bodrum etc. Further afield you could travel to the northern areas of Pakistan where I am from we have the 2nd tallest mountain K2, hash from the Himalayas beautiful food and beautiful people. It’s an amazing place and it’s safe despite what you hear on the news. Search karakoram tourism if you’re interested

the other day i was at a meeting with a young lady from afghanistan, she is becoming a teacher here, she is most welcome.

You sounds like you are blaming immigrants for your economic situation. That stuff you don't like seeing on Facebook seems to be seeping in and affecting your views of migrants.

'People coming over nowadays' but not *my* parents - exactly the kind of words we're sick of hearing from Priti and Suella. I promise you, the same will have been said about your dad 30 years ago, I was old enough in the 80s and 90s to remember it.

I think you are confused sir are you for migration or against?
I am talking from first hand experience, I know my dad experienced racism in the 90s and I have experienced it first hand when travelling to more rural parts of the UK. Racists will be racists but I have enough life experience to know not all white people in this country are like that. This is nothing to do with race anyway it’s about British culture and contributing to the society we live in. I have seen myself people come over here, get a council house within 2 months, universal credit, free medical. Add the odd cash in hand job to that and you’re laughing.

We've always had high levels of migration in and out of this country and just to be clear I am more than happy with that, I'm not trying to make some sort of anti-migration point in a weird way.

You sound like you are against migrants being housed, supported by the welfare state, or provided with medical treatment when they're sick. I'd prefer to live in a country that minimises homelessness, poverty, and illness, regardless of the recipient's country of birth. You've painted a picture of migrants 'coming over here', being provided with the bare minimum to integrate into society, and being happy as a result as though it's somehow a bad thing. Would you prefer that they weren't? Do you not think it hinders someone's ability to become a functioning member of society if they're homeless, penniless, and denied medical treatment? How's that going to help with them integrating and contributing to society?

The beef I have with what you're saying about migrants is that it's no different to what your dad will have heard 30 years ago, and probably no different to what you hear directed at yourself when you're out in the sticks. The comparison I made with Priti and Suella was no doubt unfair, you are surely nothing like as abhorrent as those two, but you use the same words. I ask you to reflect on them and how you feel when those same words are directed at you and your family.

So you think the current system where 10-member families can come over here to claim everything when they have a perfectly fine life where they are is ok?
I agree if there is a genuine need for asylum then yes careful support should be provided but also monitored and tapered off when reasonable. The current system can be more profitable than working a 9-5.

I'm sure we're in agreement that we have a crazy economic situation where working 9-5 at minimum wage is often not enough to survive, and I agree that the meagre levels of support that's provided by the welfare state sometimes exceed that. But it's the low wages and high costs that are the problem, the disparities in wealth distribution in the sixth largest economy in the world. It's not the amounts that are received by benefit claimants that causes problems for those in low paid work. Far from it, indeed it makes society worse for everyone to live amongst widespread poverty.

Reducing the support to those in need is not going to help people to be fully functioning members of society, whether they have migrated here recently or can trace their family tree back to the Alfred the Great. You shouldn't blame migrants and benefit claimants for the dire situation the low paid find themselves in in this country these days, you're directing blame downwards rather than upwards where it really lies.

sorry for the downvotes, you 2 arent unthoughtful but this thread is about travel

Fair point, I wish you all the best S12345 if you are reading this!

You too mate all the best stay toking!

My friend went to Iraq before lockdown and had a brilliant time. Iraqis are very friendly and tjough there are issues a well run tour will be worth it. Some of the architecture looks incredible.

I'll vouch for Morocco. You've got to be streetwise of course, but a beautiful country with kind and generous people. You soon tune out the prayer calls.

As an english guy with a house in morocco, I'd definitely vouch for that - I fell in love with the place. Tangiers in the nprth is perfect if you dont want things too hot and youd like to still see alot of europeans, casablanca or marakech if your looking for the arab vibes with old medinas and lots of tourist activities - Fez if you like leather. There are even a few smaller places i like such as chef chawen - the blue city which have some amazing places to see. You could even visit the jabala and see farming as it was hundreds of years ago - youll never meet nicer or more genuine people

Of course im biased!

On a side note, if you biggas are into your smoke, go to morocco and head to places like al hoceima in the rif mountains - they grow everything up there and would happily sell you a kilo for less than £100 😁

Sign me up!

Most ‘ordinary’ people are friendly and accommodating wherever you go, it’s the extremist hardline cultists in positions of power that are the cancer. Look at the U.K. for a hardline extremist cultist government!
Anyway, the Turkish are generally friendly.
There’s the Maldives and Tunisia which are also relatively safe.

you had a point till you insulted the bigga

The fact you had to stoop to childish insults shows that actually you are the moron. :)
I’m pretty amused that you got so worked up about a bit of sarcasm, your medula oblongata kicked in before you had a chance to think!

Luton

I travelled around SE Asia for a few months and I loved Lombok in Indonesia. We were stopping at a homestead that a Muslim family owned. They don't drink but were more than happy to get alcohol in for us travellers.

Indonesia in general I really enjoyed as well as Malaysia.

I'd say pick a muzza country you like a go for it.

Being of Islamic faith I'd say most muslims actually really like modern American and European culture, it fits very well with our cultural structures.

As a non Muslim in an Islamic country, as a guest, you will be treated very well.

Only thing I would suggest is inglis88 mentioned Balsall Heath, cuzi is chatting bubbles. Sounds like a hater, it's just like any other urban area around the world, I should know. I just passed through it.

Malaysia, lovely people

Northern Cyprus is good in the summer for a few weeks great food that is inexpensive, for around a tenner you can get a decent 3 couse meal at a nice Chinese for example and really nice backdrops of the sea at most restaurants just don’t upset anyone in the army as they do no fuck about.

I heard a story when I was there about a foreigner who had pissed off one of there neighbours and the neigbour told the army that they had drugs so they got them and held them for 2 days hitting them demanding to know where the stash was buried a proper pistol whipping.

Also be aware if you ever get caught in a Muslim country with narcotics you are on your own no one will risk there reputations to be associated with drugs so no help will be coming anytime soon.

I'd second Indonesia and Malaysia as being extremely friendly, but the friendliest people I've ever met are from travelling in Kyrgyzstan, where everyone I met wanted you to either stay with them or to take you out for dinner and meet all their family and friends! I've also heard great things about Tajikistan!🙏🏼💚

Morocco ... been there 8 times
Food is terrific, rich culture, wonderful people.
As with other places, beware of scammers, but the public, wow.
I've travelled a lot in my almost 44 years, Morocco is a must see!
Places I would recommend:
Marrakesh, Take a tour to Ourika, beautiful waterfall up there
Casablanca, buzzing city and the largest Mosque in Afrika
PM me for more info if you like ...

Pakistan is very good country to visit, most travel vloggers has said Pakistan is the most hospitable country out of the 44 countries they visited. Personally I'd travel to northern areas of Pakistan and even go to the area near Afgan border if your wanting fresh pure hash

Morocco, Egypt, Turkey and Indonesia are all favourites but a real stand out star for me is Uzbekistan - full of history, especially from the Genghis Khan days as the silk road splits in Uzbekistan where you can go up to Russia/Europe or down to Middle East/Africa, as well as being full of really lovely people. I hope to get back there one day...

I spent 3 years in Indonesia and 3 months in the Philippines with frequent travel to Singapore. Indonesia was like my second home, just stay clear of drugs, which you'll most likely only be offered in bali and the neighbouring islands.
If you don't have an international driving license and shouldn't be on the roads, they'll hand you a piece of paper saying you need to pay £50-100. Don't pay it. Before I lived there and was a tourist I was stupid enough to pay it. You should be paying around £5. Locals pay around £2.
In the 3 years I was there, I only felt unsafe twice. One was on a bus and the people were trying to sell me a fake rolex for an amount of money and they were quite adamant I was gonna pay up. Second time I was out in the sticks with my girlfriend on my vespa and a dodgy couple were following us, clocked them quite early and confirmed relatively soon after they were looking into us. We just headed back to the population. Whether we were somewhere we shouldnt have been and peaked interest, ill never know!

Going back to drugs, my apartment was randomly raided for a drugs test. Not shitting you I open the door to a big team of narco agents and a TV news crew. They were doing random drugs tests in the neighbourhood. Literally take me to my toilet, pass me a plastic cup and watches me with my back turned pee in the cup! Can't make the shit up! Fortunately all was good.

I have highlighted a few of my bad experiences however it can't replace the 100s of amazing experiences I gained. The people are friendly, the food is good. Number 1 rule when visiting Asian Street food stalls, go where all the locals go, if you don't follow the rule you'll end up code brown.
Stay safe. Stay wise. Be respectful. Carry as little as possible and follow the laws, you'll be safe in almost any country.
Also the dude at the airport literally asked for an underhand of £15 to let me through the gates. Explained i had overstayed by one day. Saved me a huge amount of time with all the paper work and was a fraction less than what I would have had to pay to their government! The hilarious thing was he was sat on a closed gate and I skipped the busy queue 😂
