Exploring Cannabis Scene of Cartagena: My Experience

Hello, everyone! Today, I’m excited to share my recent experience with cannabis in Cartagena, Spain. 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 Cartagena.

Just finished my vacation, stayed 2 weeks in Cartagena, and as a heavy weed smoker I can't imagine a vacation without some sativa joint during the day and indica buds with some beer before heading to sleep. Below you will find info on what I found out while searching for tasty non-medical weed in Cartagena.

Weed Laws in Spain: The Real Deal

Alright, let’s break it down — Spain ain’t playin' with their weed laws. If you’re thinkin' you can just stroll into a shop and cop some high-THC weed in Cartagena like you do in the Netherlands, nah fam, think again. You won’t find any legit spots sellin' anything with enough THC to get you lifted. You might see some medical stuff, but that CBD ain't gon' do nothin'.

Met this dude Fred in the hotel bar. He’s been around the Cartagena block, knows what’s up with the ganja scene out here. Turns out, while the rules are strict on paper, the cops ain't always on it like that.

What if I get caught with weed in Cartagena?

In practice, as Fred 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 Cartagena and bring money to Spain.

What do locals think about ganja in Cartagena

The fact that cannabis is strictly regulated by f*cking officials the government does not mean that local inhabitants of Cartagena 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 Cartagena, but even if someone notices you - this will not be treated as some crime or inappropriate behavior.

When I was in Cartagena, Fred invited me to a small party with some friends. They had some weed and played PS5, and everyone seemed okay with it as long as we were indoors and respectful. How lucky I was😁 Fred told he will be my weed dealer while I am here in Cartagena so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.

Coppin' Weed in Cartagena: The New Wave

So here’s the scoop on how folks are gettin' their green in Cartagena. Fred gave me some info — big-time cannabis dealers are all about that darknet life, coppin' their supply from shady onion sites like DrChronic or Bitpharma. They flip it to locals and tourists alike. But if you’re just in Cartagena for a few days, tryin' to navigate the darknet and waitin' on cannabis shipments ain't it.

Usually, locals already buy weed by talking to dealers they trust through messages like Telegram or Signal with payment via cryptocurrency. Then, the weed is left in a secret spot where they can pick it up without meeting the seller in person. This is new secured way of cannabis delivery used in Cartagena.

  3. Alright, alright, I got y’all. There’s a dude here in Cartagena who calls himself Bob Marley (lol, almost creative). Dude’s got quality stuff though. Prices are high, he takes crypto, does delivery – but fair warning, he’s slow as hell sometimes. His username on Telegram is @bob_marley_king. Be ready for the wait though – man’s on his own time 😒

    1. Yeah, I can back this up Bob Marley is a legit source. But there’s a bunch of fakes out there, so be careful – make sure every letter in that @bob_marley_king handle’s right. Here’s a link so no one gets scammed @bob_marley_king 😉.

    2. Thanks, crew! Didn’t expect any real help, you guys came through for real. I’ll let you know how it goes 😆

  4. Yo, I got a backup plan – a buddy showed me a Telegram bot for weed. Just click through the menu, send crypto, and they’ll send instructions with GPS coords and pics for where to pick up. We scored 5g indica, pick-up was hidden in a cig pack between two bricks in a wall downtown. Here’s the bot link if anyone’s interested – @happy_rasta_bot

  5. Broooo, thank you! Tried messaging Bob Marley but got no answer, so went with @happy_rasta_bot and it was solid! Got my 5g in a cig pack. Posting pics below!



  6. Big thanks to @ChronicHustla! Bob Marley saved the day and my party 😉! Just like ya said, I hit him up at @bob_marley_king it took him about an hour to reply, then he sent the menu – had all I needed. Went for 10g sativa, got a discount to €15/g with a bigger order (usually €25/g for 3g minimum). Quality’s top shelf, my friends were impressed. Sharing pics of my 10g stash – got it all weighed up!
