Is it easy to find weed in La Paz?
We're heading down for a couple of months this winter, of course I'm not going to try and cross 2 borders with anything that can cause me issues,
however I do like to imbibe in the devil's weed, it helps me sleep. Usually I use gummies or vape in Canada. I'm just wondering if it's illegal to
possess it in Mexico and also how easy it is to find and is it any good? With legalization in Canada you can get some good bud!! The Baja would have
some really nice growing conditions I would think. Any input from you guys?

Good council from lencho. And no, any quality weed is usually imported.

I don't smoke. At least since college.
But anytime friends who smoke come down to Baja or Mainland my MX friends are able to get it for them easily.
I don't allow it on the boat or truck, etc.
About 10 years ago we were rolling into Loreto on the boat and my friend from San Francisco flashed his bag. I stopped the boat, and after a heated
argument made him throw it into the drink as 2 other friends watched on.

In this day and age it's quite sad that people have to worry about a little weed.......but you should until it's legal everywhere.
When I was n Mexico City last month there's a park of Reforma where it's ok to smoke and there were hundreds of people there......all super high.
Mellow crowd......
If they were drunk it would've been a different story.
Hopefully your'e getting some U2U's from stoners in La Paz that'll hook you up proper.
Good luck. Wander town for a few days and you may find some.....

I've heard a small amount of THC is legal if you're MX. Might apply to gringoes but not in checkpoint searches. Hide whatever you bring.
What I've seen is local gringoes have the best stuff and it's usually from NOB. Ask around.

Find some Mexican hippie types, or surfers, they'll hook you up with some. Tons of Mexicans smoke weed, it's not a big deal.
Funny story- the gal who cleans for me called one day to say she'd be late- she had to take her mom to the doctor. When she arrived, she told me the
story.
Her mom, who lives with the cleaner's sister had sort of collapsed the day before- she was just in a chair and could hardly move or talk. They thought
maybe she'd had a stroke and rushed her to the clinic, but the clinic couldn't find anything physically wrong with her after doing a bunch of tests.
So they brought grandma home, where she was still acting out of it and just went to sleep.
The next morning, the cleaner took her to her regular doctor, who also couldn't find anything wrong, but asked "Did you eat or drink anything
different from normal yesterday?" Grandma said, "Well, my teenage grandson made some brownies I ate."
Bingo.

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll ask around if we head out to Tecolote. Seemed like a potential crowd of Kite boarders and free spirited folks there!

Your link didn't work for me. If it is legal for personal use at home, it may still be illegal to transport, share with others, or use in public.
I don't know if that is the case, but it would be a concern for me if I ever decided to try it again.

It is a bit more complicated than many assume due to the legislative and judicial progress made towards "legalization".
I have been told by friends in Mexico that nothing has been published in the "Diario Oficial de la Federación" regarding legalization and
recreational use of canabis. The only way it is "legal" now is jumping through a permit process which is a bit tricky and for a gringo even more so.
Search it, the google rabbit hole is long and twisty.

Bottom line, if a gringo gets caught with their hands in the cookie jar you will have to pay for those cookies and depending on your negotiating
skills you may or may not get to keep the cookies.

Extortion of citizens and tourists by cops is illegal. But that doesn’t mean that cops dont rob and extort money from citizens and tourists.
Pot is decriminalized, not sure if it is “legal” or just not prosecuted. Reality is that most cops and military will make tourists miserable if
they find pot on tourists.
Transport across the intl border is a big no no, usa and mexico will flock you up if they catch you with weed in any physical state (loose, vape,
gummies, etc.)

Or you could simply grow up and enjoy Baja without chemical assistance.

Oh, you're passing moral judgement on other people's choices? How about all the people who enjoy Baja with a beer in their hand? Should they "grow
up", too?
FYI, marijuana is a plant, not some drug cooked up in a lab. And everything on the planet is made up of chemicals. Including you.

I'm thinking you don't know Baja and probably don't have a lot of friends down there.
Have to admit I judge alcoholics. For about a minute or two.
Experienced the sacred herb in Nam in '65. Never grew up I guess.
