Weed in Pula, Croatia: 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 Pula. 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 Pula.

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

What Do People in Pula Think About Weed?

Even though weed is against the rules, a lot of people in Pula don’t mind it too much. They just think you should be polite and not smoke it in front of everyone.

On my first night in Pula, Simon invited me to a small gathering at his place — just a few friends, some beer, weed, and a PlayStation 5. It was exactly my kind of evening! I was fortunate to have met Simon, who became my go-to person for cannabis during my stay in Pula. He assured me that as long as you’re respectful and avoid drawing attention, the locals are generally okay with cannabis use. But again, it’s best not to carry more than 10 grams on you.

Cannabis laws in Pula, Croatia

It is important to note that cannabis, weed, and hash are prohibited in Pula. You can not officially purchase marijuana strains with high THC concentration in some coffee shops like in Amsterdam. Medical CBD cannabis may be available for purchase at dispensaries, but a prescription from a doctor is required, and you will never get high with CBD.

In one sports bar I got acquainted with Simon who moved to Pula 3 years ago, so he knows the local drug scene. According to Simon - despite cannabis being banned according to laws, cops are generally relaxed about weed, sometimes being smokers themselves.

What if I get caught with weed in Pula?

In practice, as Simon said - if you are 18+ and carry less than 20 grams of weed or 10 grams of hash and do not smoke in public - you should not expect any arrest. As a maximum, cops will confiscate your stuff after they ensure you are not a dealer who delivers stuff.

There are some stories about occasional cops forcing people to give them a bribe after catching someone with weed, but such cases are rare. Usually cops do not touch foreign tourists who are spending their vacation or business trip in Pula and bring money to Croatia.

Coppin' Weed in Pula: The New Wave

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

For the average tourist, the game has changed. You ain’t gon' find street dealers in Pula 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 Simon as my connect? Hell yeah. Didn’t have to mess with all that drama.
