Hello everyone. I’m going to be back and forth to Shumen, Bulgaria as my parents have just moved there.
The only problem is, I have quite severe chronic pain and self medicate with cannabis. I can not move properly without it and am in quite a panic as I know I cant take any with me.
I know it’s a long shot anyone will reply but is there anyone who can help me/point me in the right direction?
My parents are itching for me to go and visit their new home, but haven’t been able to due to this situation.
TIA guys

Owning/transporting cannabis is illegal in Bulgaria. At least for the moment. Stay away from trouble and do not try to import it. However painkillers based on medical marijuana are not illegal - e.g. Sativex. I think you can freely buy this in the UK and brig it with you, especially with a medical prescription.

Otherwise, you can try to convince your parents to grow some herbs for you in their new home, which again is illegal, but no one will know/care/check.
