Weed in Graz, Austria: my experience

Hi, smokers! You probably know that cannabis laws and regulations vary from one county to another, so let’s go deeper and try to understand what is going on with weed in Graz. My post covers info about weed laws, regulations, general attitude of locals and cops, hash VS weed availability and pricing, failures and success in searching weed in Graz.

So, I just touched down back home from Graz 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, Graz was lit — couldn't have had a better time without those dank buds keepin' me company.

How Do People Get Weed in Graz?

Finding weed in Graz isn’t as easy as just asking someone on the street. Wholesale dealers in Graz 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.

For tourists, the process of obtaining weed in Graz 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 Graz 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 Sam as my connection so I didn’t have to go through all this hassle.

What Are the Rules About Weed in Graz?

In Graz, 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 Graz, I met a local guy named Sam who knows a lot about how things really work with weed in Graz. 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 Graz

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

Graz’s Weed Vibe: What Locals Say

Just ‘cause the government’s trippin' on cannabis laws in Graz doesn’t mean the locals are too pressed. Most of 'em are just livin' their lives, not sweatin' what you do. But don’t get it twisted — keep it respectful. Smoking weed in public in Graz ain't the move, but if someone peeps you tokin’, it’s not the end of the world.

When I was in Graz, Sam 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😁 Sam told he will be my weed dealer while I am here in Graz so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.

Have not seen low quality weed in Graz so do not know the prices, but should be lower.
