To sum up, weed in Vietnam is illegal, but the laws aren’t strictly enforced. You can get away with it, but it’s still probably a good idea to be discreet when smoking weed in Phan Thiet. Don’t smoke on the street and never walk around with more than a couple of grams on you.

Getting weed in Phan Thiet

If you walk around Phan Thiet you’ll likely be offered to buy weed from a guy on a scooter, or a tuk-tuk driver. However, you should keep in mind that many of them are actually scammers and will try to sell you some tea or other herbs, all wrapped up. You should try to smell and look at the weed before buying it. Cannabis in Vietnam is usually grown outside and the quality is often bad, but you should be able to tell the difference between cannabis and tea.
