Newcastle, located in New South Wales, is a harbor city that has transformed its industrial roots into a vibrant and dynamic urban center. It’s known for its stunning coastline, with Nobbys Beach and Merewether Beach being very popular spots for surfers and sun-seekers alike. The city’s revitalization is evident in the Newcastle Art Gallery, dining scenes, and the historic Fort Scratchley.
Despite all of this Newcastle is not the most welcoming place in the world for stoners. Cultivation, dealing and even possession can land you in jail or with a large fine. Despite this it isn’t too hard to find and if you do get caught it is possible to get away with just a caution. Despite the illegality there is a healthy weed culture in almost every part of Australia so dont worry too much.
Street prices can be high with most dealers wanting at least $20 – $25 per gram. However face to face dealing took a big hit in the last few years with the strict lockdowns that we had here. Two of the most popular methods now are using deep web marketplaces or using the encrypted chat app Telegram, learn more about both of these methods below.
Telegram Encrypted Messaging App
There is also a huge cannabis community on Telegram, the secure messaging app that can be downloaded directly from the app store on to your phone. Longtime aussie vendor ‘Aussie420Bud’ has moved over to Telegram, their username is ‘Aussie420Bud’. They offer same day in Cairns and tracked delivery for the rest of Aus.
You can download the app for free in the app store and message them for a menu.
**When using Telegram make sure to message the verified vendor below directly, dont fall for the scam channels trying to steal off their good name**
Deep Web
The second best method is to order the weed you want off the deep web a few days before you arrive. Get it sent directly to your hotel and when you arrive you can go and pick it up from the front desk, don’t be worried about the hotel finding out because the stealth provided by the darknet vendors is excellent.
In 2024 the deep web is not what it used to be, alot of the sites have been taken down by the police in the last few years which has meant alot of the vendors have moved to encrypted messaging apps or there own personal dark net sites.

Last Resort
If you don’t know anybody local who can point you in the right direction and you really want to pick up face to face just head over to the local university / skate parks and ask around there for some numbers of drop off services. If this fails you can always ask a homeless person to help you out, just remember to tip them well. The beaches are also a popular spot for smokers so if you are still struggling you could head there and see if you can smell anything promising.
