Weed in Omiš, Croatia: A Simple Story

Hi there! This is a story about a trip to Omiš, Croatia, where I learned some interesting things about cannabis, or in other words weed or ganja. It’s a magic plant that people use to feel relaxed or happy. But in Omiš, it’s not so easy to find, and there are some important rules about it.

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

Cannabis Laws in Croatia: What You Need to Know

First things first, it’s important to understand that high-THC cannabis is illegal in Omiš. 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 Omiš 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 Happens If You Get Caught with Weed?

In Omiš, if you have a little bit of weed with you (less than 10 grams), you probably won’t get into big trouble. The police might take it away, but they usually won’t arrest you. It’s still a good idea to be careful and not smoke cannabis in public in Omiš.

Attitude of Omiš 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 Omiš, 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 Omiš, 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 Omiš so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.

Sam also confirmed locals are OK with weed in Omiš 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 Omiš?

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