Ganja in Lille, France - ma story

Hi, folks! Today I plan to share my rasta-experience after visiting infinite party Lille in France. Brief conclusion - for some reason it’s not easy to get really good🍀cannabis buds or hash in Lille in an “oldschool way”, but options do exist. Below I describe what is going on with weed in Lille.

I just got back from Lille 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 Lille — thanks in part to the cannabis that accompanied me on my adventures.

Local Attitudes Toward Cannabis in Lille

Just because cannabis is strictly regulated in Lille doesn’t mean the locals are strongly opposed to it. In fact, most people in Lille 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.

The overall attitude of locals to weed is rather relaxed, so you may even feel yourself home in Lille after one good joint, telling this from my own experience. Brian shared with me a joint of simply perfect sativa (while he did not know the exact strain). We were smoking outside the bar, and saw other guys doing the same on the other side of the street 😁 So I can definitely say that smoking weed is rather popular in Lille.

I’ve asked Brian if he may share contacts of his dealer, cause stuff was out of this world. He told me that his exact dealer does not work with new people, so he will be my dealer during my vacation, which was simply perfect. I wish everyone to find your own Brian in some bar of Lille.

Coppin' Weed in Lille: The New Wave

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

But if you are just visiting Lille for several days (or up to 2 weeks) and need some weed - dealing with wholesale darknet websites looks like not the best way to spend your time. This is the point where local dealers rush into this game. But if you think you can easily find street dealers with good stuff nowadays - do not hurry so much, the situation with weed in Lille has changed already.

Now dealers switched to another approach - you simply find their messenger contacts from someone who purchased weed in Lille already or on some forum comments, choose stuff from menu, discuss drop off area (this may be some hotel or approximate area), after you pay in crypto (yes, now this is #1 payment option for all “dark” payments) - and stuff gets delivered and dropped where you agree. Package with weed is usually masked, you get a photo and coordinates where to pick up your stuff. As a result - no official payments and no meetings in person (you choose just the approximate package drop area, not the exact place where you meet) - so both you and the dealer stay secure and anonymous. This was a little surprise for me, at home I simply buy directly from my trusted dealer via cache, but we have what we have. How happy I was that I met Brian so I do not need to go through all this 🙂

What Are the Rules About Weed in Lille?

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

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