Sharing personal experience and practical instructions with fellow stoners who happen to travel to... Ecuador, that's what we have today.
I've not been in Ecuador for a long time, nor have I visited many places there. However, I can already tell you something you won't find online. First of all, the info on marijuanatravels and webehigh varies wildly. The first one has some solid advice, while the second one will try to scare the smoke out of you, I don't know why. In fact, finding and smoking pot is pretty easy.
Finding:
No matter what city you're in, the best place to start is a park. That seems to be universal rule for southamerican countries. Just go to a park, ask around, but be descreet and careful. Streetsmarts are gonna help you to not get robbed or scammed.
These kind of places are what you're looking for. And looking closely you can see the dealers on the photo, as well.
To be more precise, I'll give you a couple of locations in Quito - Parque El Ejido and Plaza de San Francisco. In the park just ask street vendors selling pipes and stuff, on the plaza go inside a souvenir shop and ask away. The last time I was looking for pot, I eventually teamed up with refugees from Venezuela and Afghanistan (of all places) and we found it on an obscure local market which I won't name, 'cause I'm not sure exactly which one it was.
Prices:
You can get shitty cheap weed or quality stuff they call "creepy". Don't pay more than 2$-5$ for a gram, respectively. Bargain, don't be a bitch.
Smoking:
Just stay away from the cops and you'll be fine. Being descreet always a good idea even in an easy country like Ecuador.
Also, today is the last day you can participate in the airdrop of tokens of a new weed-related blockchain smoke.io. Hopefully, launch is gonna happen soon. Even though I'm sceptical about the ability of majority of its user to produce any kind of original content, this is the first of a kind network that just could get big in the future. Check it out: smoke.network, smoke.io it's not too late to participate in ICO, as well.
And oh, of course you can follow me there, too. OC guaranteed.
