Blazin' in Coimbra, Portugal - My Story

Yo, what's good? Today, I’m gonna spill the tea on my trip to the wild streets of Coimbra, Portugal. Spoiler alert — if you’re lookin' for that fire weed, it ain't as easy as rollin' up to a spot like in Amsterdam. But trust, you can still catch a vibe. Here's how I got down with the herb in Coimbra.

Just finished my vacation, stayed 2 weeks in Coimbra, 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 Coimbra.

Attitude of Coimbra 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 Coimbra, 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 Coimbra, 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.

On my first night in Coimbra, Brian invited me to a small gathering at his place — just a few friends, some beer, weed, and a PlayStation 5. It was exactly my kind of evening! I was fortunate to have met Brian, who became my go-to person for cannabis during my stay in Coimbra. He assured me that as long as you’re respectful and avoid drawing attention, the locals are generally okay with cannabis use. But again, it’s best not to carry more than 10 grams on you.

Coppin' Weed in Coimbra: The New Wave

So here’s the scoop on how folks are gettin' their green in Coimbra. Brian 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 Coimbra for a few days, tryin' to navigate the darknet and waitin' on cannabis shipments ain't it.

For the average tourist, the game has changed. You ain’t gon' find street dealers in Coimbra as easy anymore. Now, it’s all about those encrypted messengers. You get the plug’s contact, check out the menu, and decide on a drop-off spot. No face-to-face meetups, just a masked package and some GPS coordinates. Pay with crypto, pick up your stash, and dip. Safe and sound. Was I glad I had Brian as my connect? Hell yeah. Didn’t have to mess with all that drama.

What Are the Rules About Weed in Coimbra?

In Coimbra, weed with a lot of a special component called THC (the stuff that makes you feel high) is not allowed. You can’t just go to a store and buy it like in some other countries. There’s also a kind of weed that doctors can give to sick people, but it doesn’t make you feel high like the other kind.

When I was in Coimbra, I met a local guy named Brian who knows a lot about how things really work with weed in Coimbra. He told me that even though the rules are strict, the police aren’t always super strict about it, especially with visitors.

How the Cannabis Law Is Enforced in Coimbra

Technically, any cannabis product with more than 1% THC is illegal in Coimbra. However, Brian explained that the police tend to be relatively relaxed when it comes to cannabis in Coimbra, especially with tourists.

If you’re caught with a small amount — less than 10 grams of weed or 5 grams of hash — you’re unlikely to face serious consequences. The police might confiscate your weed, but it’s unlikely you’ll get into much trouble as long as you’re discreet.
