Buying cannabis online is illegal, but pretty easy to do. While we do not recommend that you break the law, we do believe everyone has the right to access cannabis.
Turns out it’s pretty easy to buy weed online in the UK. A number of websites on both the regular internet and the dark web, as well as countless social media accounts, offer relatively safe options for cannabis e-commerce. However, there are also many scammers online waiting to take advantage of less experienced users.
Cannabis E-commerce
You’ve probably heard of people buying weed on the mysterious ‘Dark Web’. You might be aware that it can be purchased via Instagram, even. But did you know there are some websites on the clear net (the regular internet) that you can buy it from?
And I don’t mean hemp or CBD oil. I’m talking THC-rich buds, oil, paste, edibles, concentrates – you name it…
But wait, isn’t cannabis illegal still in the UK?
Cannabis is still very much illegal. While police forces up and down the country are generally taking a softer approach to cannabis crimes than they used to, this is largely down to lack of resources and funding rather than a relaxation in the law.
Medical cannabis has been legal since November 2018, however. Although it’s only prescribe able for a limited number of conditions, almost impossible to get hold of on the NHS, and not of great quality.
Why buy weed online?
More and more over the last few years – and particularly since the lockdowns began – people have been turning to the internet to buy cannabis.
Not only does it remove any need for physical contact with another person, buying online offers a much greater choice of strain, quality and product (flower, extract, edibles, etc.).
Although there are risks and reliable vendors can take some time to find, once you do it’s like that you’ll realise how much smooth and easy the transactions can be.
For people who tired of unreliable dealers with little choice and bad time-keeping skills, the internet offers a convenient alternative where a few clicks of a mouse can result in weed being pushed through your letter box as soon as 24 hours later.
Where can you by weed online in the UK?
Here’re your options:
1. The ‘Darkweb’
The ‘Darkweb’ (or ‘Dark Net’/‘Deep Web’) is a term that refers to a collection of websites that cannot be found by using traditional search engines or visited by using traditional browsers, like Windows, Chrome or Firefox.
To access this encrypted network, you have to download an encryption tool known as Tor Browser. Tor protects your privacy online and allows you to browse the ‘dark web’ with anonymity.

You’ll also need to buy Bitcoin, which is a cryptocurrency that you’ll use to make your purchases. Paxful is the one of the easiest websites to buy bitcoin on.

While this sounds very confusing, the truth is that buying weed using the Darkweb is now a reasonably simple process that anyone can master in a few hours.
And when they do, it’s like walking into a virtual cannabis dispensary with countless professional vendors waiting to fulfil your needs with a massive choice of products.
2. Instagram
Yep, along with pictures of pugs and shimmering sunsets on everyone’s favourite photo-sharing app, weed dealers lurk.
Of course, there are many scammers out there waiting to take your money as well.
Therefore, you would ideally get a recommendation from someone you trust before making a purchase. You can also try to find profiles with a good number of followers and authentic engagement.
Spend a few hours searching different hashtags and you’ll soon you learn the intricacies of Instagram, you’ll then have access to a very large and active cannabis community that is present on the platform.
Payments are usually made by bank transfer.

3. Regular websites/online shops
We’ve recently come across a surface web market place with an escrow system, great vendors and even better community.
We can’t name it here but sign up to our newsletter below and we’ll fill you in.
It hosts a number of vendors selling a variety of cannabis products, including many types of flower, hash, extracts, Cali Weed, Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) and more.
There seems to be a good number of anonymous businesses operating on the platform, many with reassuring guarantees and public reviews clearly displayed in their virtual shops.

Scam websites
There are many websites out there that are just waiting to take your money and not send you anything in return.
In fact, we often get messages from people (who are often in poor health and are turning to cannabis in desperation) who have been fleeced out of hundreds of pounds by these scammers.
First, you’ll be pushed to buy larger quantities. Many sites, for example, have a minimum order of one ounce. This is because they know they can only dupe each person once, so they try to make each scam as profitable as they can.
These devious scammers don’t stop there. After your order doesn’t arrive and you let the scammers know, they will often request you pay a further amount of money to cover postage, customs or insurance costs. This way they can hit you twice.

Is it safe to buy weed online in the UK?
Until it’s legal, buying weed off the internet does carry some risk. However, it’s small. Particularly if you’re buying small, personal amounts. Having a medical cannabis card may also offer some protection.
Orders are usually sent discreetly in smell-proof packaging. Even if they weren’t, sniffer dogs are rarely seen in Post Offices and, last we heard, workers are advised to deliver post even if they smell or suspect it contains cannabis.
(This could of course change at any time and offices may have different procedures.)
Not only that, our country’s overworked and under-funded police force has better things to do than operate sting operations as you collect the post in your pyjamas.
So, in this technical age, it would appear that cannabis is more widely available in the UK than ever before. And that’s despite the
How much should you be paying for weed in the UK?
If you’re looking to buy a couple grams of weed in the UK, you shouldn’t expect to pay much more than around £10/gram for some good quality flower. High-end Cali Weed can be as much as £100 for 3.5g, or £700/oz.
Edibles will set you back around £10 per 100mg, give or take, while extracts start at around £40 and can go for as much as £100 a gram depending on the product.

CBD is the non-psychotropic cannabinoid cousin of THC. While it won’t get you high, it does offer anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and ant-psychotic properties.
And the CBD revolution is in full steam in the UK, with one of the newest and most popular products on the market being CBD flower.
While it may look like

Control your use of cannabis
While there is no doubt that cannabis is a miraculous medicine that has huge value to society, let’s not be blind to the negative effects of chronic cannabis use.
Cannabis is a very useful tool. However, like any tool, cannabis can be used ineffectively and even produce negative results.
For example, smoking or vaping cannabis can also be very habit-forming. I know this personally because I have experienced a problematic relationship with cannabis myself.
This resulted in a lack of motivation and focus, mood swings, poor sleep and irritability. A cannabis habit can also be quite a financial burden.
While a cannabis habit is nowhere near as harmful and destructive as the overuse of tobacco, alcohol or countless other widely available drugs (including pharmaceutical medicines), risks exist and must be acknowledged.
There are many ways to reduce these risks – such as using CBD alongside THC, dry herb vaping rather than smoking, taking regular tolerance breaks, and intense exercise, for example.
I discuss these methods in more detail in my book, Overcoming Weed Dependence: The Truth About Addiction And The Secret To A Healthy Relationship With Cannabis, along with many other practical tips that will enable anyone to cultivate a healthy relationship with cannabis

Andrew bro the weed aint that shit ahah you probably just got some bad stuff.
I’m a daily smoker and all the weed I get is peng to alright.
Most recently got some Blue cookies and Gelato 45 and omg bro shit was delicious.
Guess I am lucky to not experience dead weed?
buyweediceland is a new site(6months old),minimum order 100eur!while you navigate every 3 seconds appear (down left)all the supposed sales they did!as they come from all over the world it stinks of scam!then they have too many strains and products to be credible,weight is not indicated clearly on the products and you have to message them to know the weight!it looks very strange than as they sell so many products there is not a review on their site,i was very tempted to buy but i think i will wait until i’ll be sure it is not a scam good luck to everybody!!
Sounds scammy!
yeah just been on their website. agree with above post. scammy as F**K. pop ups on left every 5 seconds. “someone just bought whatever” chat agent bottom right. i enquired. minimum order for vape pens (5 pens) $30 so $150. wont even let you try buying just one to try them out. pure BS if you ask me.
Gaz
Any updates? I’m thinking of using them too
SamBam, they send mine in a smell proof plastic bag, loose in a handwritten brown padded envelope. Not the stealthiest of cover, but no smell escapes. I have had no trouble after about 6 or 7 orders. I am only buying 4g at a time though, I don’t know how bigger orders come, I think they may split it into a few smaller packages.
Also, it only took 2 or 3 days, but not sure these days with lockdown covid-post!
Mine also arrived in one small smell proof bag and a small Jiffy bag. Again not super stealthy if you order a smelly strain
Took 2 weeks, I ordered the vape pen and it was fake. I have just emailed them to return my money or send me a real one…not expecting a response.
I still can’t seem to find a reliable source and it’s frustrating.
Lmao hahah seriously…a refund of the illegal substance you find ‘fake go away
Hi Matthew I’ve used the tea rooms several times and although the weed can look and smell like advertised it’s for sure CBD weed! Tastes nothing like its advertised and doesn’t get you high at all. How was your experience??
I agree zoe I have also brought from many websites that people on this page have recommended! But the weed they send is always CBD weed they advertise it as legitimate marajuina with all the pictures and description but it’s all a promotion con. I emailed them to complain about it and they admitted for legal reasons they send CBD weed! Is there nowhere to order and receive real thc bud as advertised?!
You can pay for it with your debit card not bitcoin
Can you buy it the conventional way of direct debit?
I have personally been scammed via instagram by a couple of people. It was a little experiment of mine as the street scene seems to be drier than the Sahara.
I did my due diligence each time. They had followers. Likes on their photos and so on.
Added them on wic. Talked for a couple of days. Advising me on strains etc.
£1100 down. Not even cbd weed to show for it 😂😞.
I cannot buy bitcoin as I won’t provide ID due to an identity theft issue I had in my uni days that I’m still paying for in some aspects!
Even the likes of localbitcoin want you to provide ID before you can make an offer or an advert.
I was recommended the London CC who take Amazon vouchers for orders under £100.
They look legit but then so did the others to my obviously simple mind!
Be very careful people, especially if you don’t have the money to lose.
It’s outrageous we go to these things especially as some people have a legitimate need.
It helps with my PTSD and I’ve spoken to a lot of others too. Some strains more than others.
Hi guys, just to add – I’ve ordered from HT – it took 2 weeks to arrive – and it was sent in two different packages. One arrived and was pretty good, the other was seized by police. It’s not double bagged so it may be the smell that got attention. So it’s not a scam – that I can confirm.
Hey guys! Looking for edibles (preferably gummies but I’m open to anything) and hybrid/ indica buds. Noticing a lot of bad experiences in these comments. Anyone found a reputable resource yet? (To reply on this thread you need an email, just FYI)
I make tasty vegan truffles 🙂
Hi I been scammed twice and be honest looking for genuine supplier but most of out there is scamer
have you tried any of their hash? very nice imho
I put an order in to, ‘Buy Marijuana edibles Uk, still yet to receive, has anyone had any dealings with these guys?
And is there a way to search little biggie? For certain items
Good luck, hope it turns out ok – but sounds similar to my experience. I ordered 1/8 to try it out, but that got doubled to 1/4 at checkout. Queried it & was told that was the minimum order (shd have been suspicious then!), paid up & that was the last I heard from them. No reply when I asked wha’appen
Hi Chloe. Did it work out with HTR? Ive personally had 2 deliveries of expensive but effective weed in December. Then I ordered some very expensive vape but recvd nothing and got no response to enquiries.
Embarrassed to admit I may try them again but were all stuck in this situation without much/any choice.
It seems like they are patchy but actually do deliver…….. sometimes.
Any souls out there with a genuine steer, would be doing a great favour to us desperate fools, buyers and sellers.
Did you find it had as low a thc content as it says as all for sale here says 0.2%, I’m used to 24%. Doesnt seem worth the risk if it is that low?
Hi looking for THC edibles preferably gummies, been searching for weeks with no results, they help with my anxiety and panic attacks anybody know any reliable sites please
Did you have any luck?? I’m looking too.
I dont smoke anymore, nor vape. After cookies or choc infused. Sooo frustrating
Had a nice with Paul he got real stuff w//
Hi Paul can you help me with aww for my smoke that I can trust and be happy with if pos thanks
Need some in London
Hi, did you managed to get any, i am desperate to find some myself can you help
How Easy Is It To Buy Cannabis Online In The UK?
January 8, 2019 – by Jack Woodhouse
Jan 2019?…this article needs updating!
I have something even better in the works… Make sure your signed up to our newsletter so you don’t miss it 🙂
Look forward to it, thanks Jack!
Hi. I’m also looking for edibles if anyone is doing them
Home office report that since 1973 the actual document making cannabis illegal in the UK was destroyed along with thousands of other documents. And the reason it won’t be made legal is because 7 high ministers have stakes in cannabis farm’s and don’t want other’s earning money from it that’s just one of the reasons. Also pharmaceutical companies don’t want it made legal is because they will lose billions cause no one will be using their products.
Off tae Glesga on my hollybags in the first week of May and will be looking to source some good hash……any suggestions ?
Hey, just posted on the other thread. I notice that SDog is closed today – just wondering if these shops are lying low for a while or something more serious has happened.
