Ganja in Naples, Italy - ma story

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

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

How Do People Get Weed in Naples?

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

But if you are just visiting Naples 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 Naples has changed already.

Now dealers switched to another approach - you simply find their messenger contacts from someone who purchased weed in Naples 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 Alex so I do not need to go through all this 🙂

Cannabis Laws in Italy: What You Need to Know

First things first, it’s important to understand that high-THC cannabis is illegal in Naples. Unlike in Amsterdam, you won’t find any coffee shops selling potent marijuana strains. While medical cannabis is available, it’s typically low in THC and won’t give you the high you might be looking for.

During my stay, I met a local named Alex in the hotel bar. He’s lived in Naples for a while and knows a lot about the cannabis scene. According to him, while the official regulations are strict, enforcement isn’t always so rigid in practice.

What’s the Law Say vs. What’s Really Good?

Officially, anything with more than 1% THC is a no-go in Naples. But Alex put me on game — cops in Naples are chill about the weed. Unless you’re actin' a fool or got bad luck with the wrong officer, you might just get your stash snatched, have a chat, and be on your way. But yo, don’t push it. Keep it low-key, don’t smoke in public, and if you’re holdin' less than 10g of weed or 5g of hash, you should be straight.

What do locals think about ganja in Naples

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

As I was actively asking and discussing weed - Alex invited me to his apartment for a small party that very first evening - just a couple of his rasta friends, beer, weed and PS5 - exactly what I do love😁😁😁. How lucky I was😁 Alex told he will be my weed dealer while I am here in Naples so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.

Alex also confirmed locals are OK with weed in Naples if you behave yourself correctly, while it’s better to avoid cops and not to have more than 10 grams in your pocket.
