Weed in Niksic, Montenegro: 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 Niksic. 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 Niksic.

Got back home from Niksic just 2 days ago, so writing this post with fresh memory smoking a small joint of white widow strain. Had an amazing stay in Niksic that would never be so cool without sex, drugs and rock’n’roll smelly ganja buds.

Attitude of Niksic 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 Niksic, 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 Niksic, 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.

As I was actively asking and discussing weed - Sam 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😁 Sam told he will be my weed dealer while I am here in Niksic so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.

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

How Do People Get Weed in Niksic?

Finding weed in Niksic isn’t as easy as just asking someone on the street. Wholesale dealers in Niksic 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 the average tourist, the game has changed. You ain’t gon' find street dealers in Niksic 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 Sam as my connect? Hell yeah. Didn’t have to mess with all that drama.

Cannabis Laws in Montenegro: What You Need to Know

First things first, it’s important to understand that high-THC cannabis is illegal in Niksic. 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 Sam in the hotel bar. He’s lived in Niksic 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.

How the Cannabis Law Is Enforced in Niksic

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

Five random facts about cannabis

1. Not All Weed Gets You High

You read that right. THC is not the same as CBD, which means that the type you choose to consume will have different effects on your body. One will provide all the relaxing and medicinal benefits, while the other will provide the psychoactive effects of the high.

2. Cannabis Has Tons Of Nicknames

Due to its illegal status, cannabis is one of the drugs with the most nicknames out there. Weed, ganja, pot, grass, dope, reefer, hash, and even sandwiches if you’re a How I Met Your Mother fan are just a few of the slang terms that have become a part of the beloved cannabis culture.

3. LA Is Weed Wonderland

Los Angeles, aside from being the city of stars, has more marijuana dispensaries than Starbucks. Welcome to LaLa Land.

4. California Banned First

A century ago, California was the first state in the United States to ban cannabis. This is a bit ironic when we look at the fun fact above. But it looks like Cali learned its lesson!

5. USA Grows The Most
