The ONLY legal way to obtain THC in Medellín
1. Medical prescription route
To legally access THC cannabis:
You must get a prescription from a Colombian-licensed doctor
Then obtain cannabis-based products through authorized pharmacies or licensed providers
Products are typically:
oils
capsules
(recently) regulated cannabis flower in pharmacies under strict rules
This system is regulated under Colombia’s medical cannabis laws (since 2016).
👉 Important:
Foreign prescriptions usually don’t automatically apply
You must go through the local medical system in Colombia
“weed shops”, clubs, or delivery?
Any place selling THC weed to tourists is not legal, even if it looks organized.
Common things you’ll hear about:

➡️ These operate in the informal/illegal market
Risks tourists should know

Buying cannabis illegally can lead to:
fines or confiscation
police issues or extortion situations
In Medellín specifically, there are well-documented risks:
robberies
drugging incidents targeting tourists
Conclusion
Legal: Medical THC with a Colombian prescription

How to obtain cannabis (THC) in Medellin legally.
I have used Raz( happydankzone@gmail.com ) at least 3-4 times and every time it has been top notch. He is the best local plug you can find around. He is very pleasant, friendly and fast. He is a lifesaver.
He sells top shelf WEED and other stuffs at moderate prices. I will always recommend this guy when people ask me my ” go-to”. All you have to do is follow his instructions.
Just send him an email and I bet you will come back for more once you finish what you bought because the quality is incredible.
You can find him on telegram by clicking:https://t.me/budsandstoners
Raz( happydankzone@gmail.com ) is the top service so far. Great service, easy to work with and I’m very satisfied. I’m so happy I found Raz here. He is super responsive, on time and the quality of weed he sells are serious on point and top notch.
I followed his instructions and sincerely I was skeptical at first but he finally showed up on time. I will definitely be ordering from him more often because he is the only reliable local plug you can trust so far
If you are getting from elsewhere then you need to switch. The great pricing attracted me, but the hospitality of Raz, the quality of weed ( dried and completely cured nugs), the fast delivery and the freebies made this experience amazing.
Will definitely come back for sure and I will
