Weed in Rennes, France: 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 Rennes. 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 Rennes.

Just finished my vacation, stayed 2 weeks in Rennes, and as a heavy weed smoker I can't imagine a vacation without some sativa joint during the day and indica buds with some beer before heading to sleep. Below you will find info on what I found out while searching for tasty non-medical weed in Rennes.

Where to buy weed in Rennes

Alex shared his experience on the weed purchase process in Rennes. As he said - big dealers purchase everything via darknet - there are services or “onion sites” like DrChronic or Bitpharma where they purchase big portions (via Tor browser and crypto) or cooperate with local cannabis growers.

After that they simply resell weed to tourists and locals in Rennes. In fact you may also go this way, while for tourists this is usually not acceptable - you need to know how do onion sites and Tor browsers work, have corresponding accounts on darknet websites, too long to wait for your package (2 - 7 days), high risks at all steps of this chain, etc etc.

Usually, locals already buy weed by talking to dealers they trust through messages like Telegram or Signal with payment via cryptocurrency. Then, the weed is left in a secret spot where they can pick it up without meeting the seller in person. This is new secured way of cannabis delivery used in Rennes.

Weed Laws in France: The Real Deal

Alright, let’s break it down — France ain’t playin' with their weed laws. If you’re thinkin' you can just stroll into a shop and cop some high-THC weed in Rennes like you do in the Netherlands, nah fam, think again. You won’t find any legit spots sellin' anything with enough THC to get you lifted. You might see some medical stuff, but that CBD ain't gon' do nothin'.

Met this dude Alex in the hotel bar. He’s been around the Rennes block, knows what’s up with the ganja scene out here. Turns out, while the rules are strict on paper, the cops ain't always on it like that.

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

Officially, anything with more than 1% THC is a no-go in Rennes. But Alex put me on game — cops in Rennes 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.

Rennes’s Weed Vibe: What Locals Say

Just ‘cause the government’s trippin' on cannabis laws in Rennes doesn’t mean the locals are too pressed. Most of 'em are just livin' their lives, not sweatin' what you do. But don’t get it twisted — keep it respectful. Smoking weed in public in Rennes ain't the move, but if someone peeps you tokin’, it’s not the end of the world.

Alex was cool enough to invite me to a low-key sesh at his spot — just some homies, beer, weed, and the PS5. Straight up, I felt like I hit the jackpot. Dude even became my plug in Rennes while I was in town, so I was never dry and had my weed handy. He told me as long as you keep it cool, the locals are down with the herb. But like he said — don’t be stupid, and don’t carry more than 10g unless you’re lookin’ to have a bad day.

Weed in Rennes: Your Questions Answered

Is high-THC weed illegal in Rennes?

Yup, you won’t find high-THC bud legally unless it’s medical, but the cops aren’t usually trippin' if you’re packin' less than 10 grams.

What happens if you get caught with weed in Rennes?

Depends. If you’re lookin' like you’re movin' weight, you could catch some heat. But most tourists with a small stash aren’t bothered much.

For sure! While the darknet and encrypted messengers are where it’s at now, you can still hustle around parks or chat up the right taxi driver and might get lucky.

Yes, while quality varies from dealer to dealer.

Can I find hash in Rennes?

Yes, a lot of dealers sell both weed and hash, so hash is also popular and can be found in Rennes. Not all dealers have it, but it is still rather popular.

What is the price for weed and hash in Rennes?

Prices vary from dealer to dealer and usually depend on stuff quality and dealer’s greediness 😂From what I saw - super high quality weed may go up to €20 - €25 per 1 gram (while the more you buy - the lower price you get), and high quality hash was around €30 - €35 per 1 gram. Have not purchased low quality weed in Rennes so do not know the prices, but should be lower.

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.

The musical star was buried with his red Gibson guitar, a cannabis bud, and a Bible open on the 23rd Psalm, which reads: “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures”. Way to go, Marley.

3. You Can’t Lethally Overdose On Cannabis
