Weed in Barcelona, Spain: A Simple Story
Hi there! This is a story about a trip to Barcelona, Spain, 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 Barcelona, it’s not so easy to find, and there are some important rules about it.
I just got back from Barcelona a couple of days ago, and as I sit here enjoying a small joint of white widow, I can’t help but reflect on the great time I had in Barcelona — thanks in part to the cannabis that accompanied me on my adventures.
Local Attitudes Toward Cannabis in Barcelona
Just because cannabis is strictly regulated in Barcelona doesn’t mean the locals are strongly opposed to it. In fact, most people in Barcelona don’t seem to care too much about marijuana use. Of course, it’s wise to follow some basic rules, like not smoking in public. But even if someone notices you, it’s unlikely they’ll see it as a big deal.
As I was actively asking and discussing weed - John invited me to his apartment for a small party that very first evening - just a couple of his rasta friends, beer, weed and PS5 - exactly what I do love😁😁😁. How lucky I was😁 John told he will be my weed dealer while I am here in Barcelona so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.
John also confirmed locals are OK with weed in Barcelona if you behave yourself correctly, while it’s better to avoid cops and not to have more than 10 grams in your pocket.
Cannabis laws in Barcelona, Spain
It is important to note that cannabis, weed, and hash are prohibited in Barcelona. You can not officially purchase marijuana strains with high THC concentration in some coffee shops like in Amsterdam. Medical CBD cannabis may be available for purchase at dispensaries, but a prescription from a doctor is required, and you will never get high with CBD.
In one sports bar I got acquainted with John who moved to Barcelona 3 years ago, so he knows the local drug scene. According to John - despite cannabis being banned according to laws, cops are generally relaxed about weed, sometimes being smokers themselves.
Laws and regulations of weed in Barcelona
All products with high THC (substance in cannabis that makes you high) above 1% are strictly forbidden for distribution. But in fact according to John cops are rather relaxed about weed in Barcelona and rarely touch tourists, but this always depends on the exact cop and whether he likes your face or not.
So theoretically if you do not smoke in public and get caught with not more than 10g of weed or 5g of hash in Barcelona - you should not get arrested. Cops 👮may take your stuff and after some conversation should get you free, but better to avoid all this stress anyway.
Where to buy weed in Barcelona
John shared his experience on the weed purchase process in Barcelona. 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 Barcelona. 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.
If you are just having a short vacation or a trip to Barcelona - purchasing weed via wholesale darknet websites is not an option. Looking for dealers on the streets and in parks is still something you may do to find some weed in Barcelona, but more and more dealers are shifting to online orders done via messengers and payments in bitcoins instead of cash. This simply protects them from ever being caught by cops. Crypto payments are anonymous and delivery is done to selected location without any personal meetings, so both you and the dealer are secured from any possible consequences.
This was a surprise for me cause I am more old school and just “heard something about crypto”. While now all youngsters (who are usually a target group for cannabis dealers) have crypto wallets so dealers simply follow the trend. I think dealers are losing money anyway because not all clients know crypto, but John commented that nowadays if you do not use crypto - you 100% have a friend who uses it, so you may just send him money from card and he does crypto transaction for you. After that I remembered I also have such a friend, so I agreed with John.
Frequently asked questions about Cannabis in Barcelona
Is cannabis legal in Barcelona?
No, non-medical cannabis is not legal in Barcelona, while cops are relaxed towards weed and having less than 20 grams in your pocket should not result in arrest.
What if I get caught with weed in Barcelona?
If cops think you are a real dealer who delivers stuff - you will have problems. But usually tourists with small amounts of hash or weed are not touched at all, only dealers should worry.
Can I buy weed on the streets of Barcelona?
Yes you still can. This is an outdated approach already so more and more dealers are switching to online sales, but hustling parks and central streets may still give you successful results. While much easier would be finding dealer’s contacts and order online with further delivery.
Is top-shelf weed and hash a myth in Barcelona?
Nah, it’s out there, but you gotta know the right people. Quality varies, so do your homework.
How about hash? Can you find it in Barcelona?
Yep, plenty of dealers got both weed and hash. It’s not always on deck, but it’s out there.
What’s the price of weed and hash in Barcelona?
Prices swing depending on the plug and the quality. Top-tier bud can run you about €20 - €25 a gram, and hash could hit €30 - €35 a gram. The more you buy, the better the deal.
And that’s the lowdown on gettin' lifted in Barcelona. Stay safe, stay chill, and keep that stash tight.
Good post, thanks for the info, but it’d be way better if y’all dropped some dealer contacts! C’mooon 😡😡😡
Hey RASTA squad! ONE LOVE! 🙌 All’s good here, but I need HELP! Big bday bash in 2 days, lookin for some coke and hash/weed in Barcelona to make it lit! Any solid HQ plug would be a lifesaver – got Wise, Skrill, Revolut, cash, crypto, whatever. NEED A TRUSTWORTHY PLUG ASAP 🙏🙏🙏
Same, need that fire sativa! Me and Sniffer waitin’ on replies – c’mon ppl, we know you’re out there 😂

+1, right here wit y’all lol
Alright, alright, gotcha, fam 🦁. Got a known plug here in Barcelona who calls himself Bob Marley (of course 🙄) 😂 – low imagination, high quality. Prices are steep, accepts only crypto, does delivery, but usually slow on replies. Find him under @bob_marley_king on Telegram. Don’t be surprised if he ghosts you for a bit lol, looks like he smokes his own stuff regularly 😒
Yup, Bob Marley is the real deal. But heads tons of fakes out there, check every single letter in that @bob_marley_king handle. Here’s the link so no one messes up - @bob_marley_king 😉.
Thanks, fam! Didn’t think anyone would actually come through, y’all the best! I’ll keep ya posted 😆
Ayy crew, found a plan B – my buddy showed me a Telegram bot for weed, didn’t even know bots could do this! Just follow the menu, pay in crypto, and they give you GPS directions and pics to grab your stuff. Got 5g indica, pickup was in a cig pack in a wall downtown, easy find. Here’s the bot – @happy_rasta_bot
Brooo thanks so much! Tried Bob Marley , no answer, so went with @happy_rasta_bot – worked like a charm! Got my 5g in a cig pack, all set. Pics comin up!
Huge thanks to @ChronicKing! Bob Marley saved the party, no doubt 😉! Just like ya said – hit him up via @bob_marley_king and took about an hour to reply. Sent me the menu, had everything I wanted. Got 10g of sativa for €15/g with the bigger order, smaller orders are €25/g with a 3g minimum. Absolute top quality, party was a hit. Here’s some pics of my 10g haul – weighed it up for proof!
Yo, shoutout to you, ChronicKing!! Tried Bob Marley too, went smooth as ever. Cheers fam!
