Exploring Cannabis Scene of Bologna: My Experience
Hello, everyone! Today, I’m excited to share my recent experience with cannabis in Bologna, Italy. In short, finding top-quality marijuana or hash the "old-school way" isn’t easy, but there are definitely options available. Let me walk you through what I discovered about the cannabis scene in Bologna.
I just got back from Bologna 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 Bologna — thanks in part to the cannabis that accompanied me on my adventures.
How Do People Get Weed in Bologna?
Finding weed in Bologna isn’t as easy as just asking someone on the street. Wholesale dealers in Bologna buy weed through special darknet websites, but that’s a bit tricky for regular cannabis users who want to smoke, but not re-sell weed.
If you are just having a short vacation or a trip to Bologna - 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 Bologna, 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 Steve 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 Steve.
Attitude of Bologna locals to weed
You already know that good non-medical marijuana with high % THC is not something you can officially buy in a branded cannabis shop in Bologna, but this does not mean locals are too much against weed 😃. Youngsters and students are definitely those who share their love of cannabis and welcome new smokers in their circles. They can not imagine a good party without having a joint or two, while it’s hard to join them if you are already a “25+ old man”.
In general smoking some occasional joint after a long working week is a pleasant tradition among many people in Bologna, so no one will point fingers at you seeing how you are smoking weed, but better to avoid doing this publicly just not to bring useless attention.
Steve 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 Bologna 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.
Marijuana laws in Italy
It is important to outline that high % THC cannabis, weed, and hash are forbidden in Bologna. You can not officially purchase marijuana strains with high at least some reasonable THC % concentration in some coffee shops like in the Netherlands. Medical cannabis may be available for purchase at dispensaries, but you will never get high with CBD buds you may find.
In the bar of my hotel I met Steve who has lived here in Bologna for a while, so knows a lot about 4:20 movements😁. He said that strict official regulations are not so tough in practice.
What if I get caught with weed in Bologna?
In practice, as Steve said - if you are 18+ and carry less than 20 grams of weed or 10 grams of hash and do not smoke in public - you should not expect any arrest. As a maximum, cops will confiscate your stuff after they ensure you are not a dealer who delivers stuff.
There are some stories about occasional cops forcing people to give them a bribe after catching someone with weed, but such cases are rare. Usually cops do not touch foreign tourists who are spending their vacation or business trip in Bologna and bring money to Italy.
Question / Answer session about marijuana in Bologna
Is high % THC weed forbidden in Bologna?
Yes, non-medical cannabis is regulated and restricted in Bologna, while police is relaxed about marijuana and having less than 10 grams with you should not result in imprisoning anything serious.
Anyway what if you get caught with some THC cannabis product in Bologna?
Depends on the situation, but if officers think you are a drug dealer for some reason who delivers stuff - you should get punished problems. In general tourists with small amounts of hash or weed are not touched at all, only dealers with large amounts.
Can I find weed in Bologna in some oldschool way?
Of course you can! While sniffing dark streets / parks and pinging taxi drivers is an outdated approach for searching marijuana already - a big bunch of dealers migrated to online sales via messengers and crypto, but hustling parks and central streets in searches for weed may still give you some successful results.
Is high-quality cannabis and hash available in Bologna?
Yes, it’s available while quality varies between dealers.
Can you find hash in Bologna?
Yes, many dealers offer both weed and hash. It’s not always in stock, but it’s popular and available.
What are the prices for cannabis and hash in Bologna?
Prices vary depending on the dealer and the quality. High-quality weed can cost €20-€25 per gram, while hash might be €30-€35 per gram. The more you buy, the better the deal you’ll get.
That’s the rundown on cannabis in Bologna. If you’re planning a trip, stay safe, be smart, and enjoy your time in this vibrant city!
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 Bologna 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 😂
also here, same request 👀
+1, right here wit y’all lol
Alright, alright, gotcha, fam 🦁. Got a known plug here in Bologna 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!
