Weed in Balzers, Liechtenstein: A Simple Story

Hi there! This is a story about a trip to Balzers, Liechtenstein, where I learned some interesting things about cannabis, or in other words weed or ganja. It’s a magic plant that people use to feel relaxed or happy. But in Balzers, it’s not so easy to find, and there are some important rules about it.

So, I just touched down back home from Balzers a couple of days ago, still got that fresh buzz in my head as I’m sparking up this joint of girl scout cookies strain. Man, Balzers was lit — couldn't have had a better time without those dank buds keepin' me company.

Where to buy weed in Balzers

Simon shared his experience on the weed purchase process in Balzers. As he said - big dealers purchase everything via darknet - there are services or “onion sites” like DrChronic or Bitpharma where they purchase big portions (via Tor browser and crypto) or cooperate with local cannabis growers.

After that they simply resell weed to tourists and locals in Balzers. In fact you may also go this way, while for tourists this is usually not acceptable - you need to know how do onion sites and Tor browsers work, have corresponding accounts on darknet websites, too long to wait for your package (2 - 7 days), high risks at all steps of this chain, etc etc.

For tourists, the process of obtaining weed in Balzers is a bit different. Street dealers are less common these days. Instead, many have moved to a more discreet system using encrypted messaging apps like Telegram. You get their contact details from someone who’s already bought weed in Balzers or through online forums, then you place your order, arrange a drop-off point, and pay with cryptocurrency. The package is typically left in a hidden spot, and you’re given the location and a photo to help you find it. This approach minimizes risks for both you and the dealer. I was glad I had Simon as my connection so I didn’t have to go through all this hassle.

What do locals think about ganja in Balzers

The fact that cannabis is strictly regulated by f*cking officials the government does not mean that local inhabitants of Balzers are too much against weed. Mostly - they simply do not care. Of course it is better to preserve some common rules and not to smoke weed in public in Balzers, but even if someone notices you - this will not be treated as some crime or inappropriate behavior.

Simon was cool enough to invite me to a low-key sesh at his spot — just some homies, beer, weed, and the PS5. Straight up, I felt like I hit the jackpot. Dude even became my plug in Balzers while I was in town, so I was never dry and had my weed handy. He told me as long as you keep it cool, the locals are down with the herb. But like he said — don’t be stupid, and don’t carry more than 10g unless you’re lookin’ to have a bad day.
