Ganja in Sevilla, Spain - ma story

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

So, I just touched down back home from Sevilla a couple of days ago, still got that fresh buzz in my head as I’m sparking up this joint of girl scout cookies strain. Man, Sevilla was lit — couldn't have had a better time without those dank buds keepin' me company.

Sevilla’s Weed Vibe: What Locals Say

Just ‘cause the government’s trippin' on cannabis laws in Sevilla 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 Sevilla ain't the move, but if someone peeps you tokin’, it’s not the end of the world.

When I was in Sevilla, Fred invited me to a small party with some friends. They had some weed and played PS5, and everyone seemed okay with it as long as we were indoors and respectful. How lucky I was😁 Fred told he will be my weed dealer while I am here in Sevilla so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.

So where do smokers purchase weed in Sevilla?

Despite the fact that I did not have any problems with weed in Sevilla because of Fred, he told me how everything works (and not only with cannabis).

Usually high-level dealers purchase stuff on wholesale darknet websites. Theoretically you may also go through all the nightmare of using darknet websites to get your stuff delivered in several days or even weeks. Website thehiddenwiki.com has all the links you may need to order stuff in the darknet using Tor browser and crypto, but this method usually works if you need a lot of stuff and have time (several days) to wait for the delivery.

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

Cannabis Laws in Spain: What You Need to Know

First things first, it’s important to understand that high-THC cannabis is illegal in Sevilla. 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 Fred in the hotel bar. He’s lived in Sevilla 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 if I get caught with weed in Sevilla?

In practice, as Fred 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 Sevilla and bring money to Spain.
