Blazin' in Strasbourg, France - My Story

Yo, what's good? Today, I’m gonna spill the tea on my trip to the wild streets of Strasbourg, France. Spoiler alert — if you’re lookin' for that fire weed, it ain't as easy as rollin' up to a spot like in Amsterdam. But trust, you can still catch a vibe. Here's how I got down with the herb in Strasbourg.

Just finished my vacation, stayed 2 weeks in Strasbourg, 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 Strasbourg.

What Do People in Strasbourg Think About Weed?

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

Joe 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 Strasbourg 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.

Cannabis laws in Strasbourg, France

It is important to note that cannabis, weed, and hash are prohibited in Strasbourg. 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 Joe who moved to Strasbourg 3 years ago, so he knows the local drug scene. According to Joe - despite cannabis being banned according to laws, cops are generally relaxed about weed, sometimes being smokers themselves.

What Happens If You Get Caught with Weed?

In Strasbourg, 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 Strasbourg.

Where to buy weed in Strasbourg

Joe shared his experience on the weed purchase process in Strasbourg. 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 Strasbourg. 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.

But if you are just visiting Strasbourg for several days (or up to 2 weeks) and need some weed - dealing with wholesale darknet websites looks like not the best way to spend your time. This is the point where local dealers rush into this game. But if you think you can easily find street dealers with good stuff nowadays - do not hurry so much, the situation with weed in Strasbourg has changed already.

Now dealers switched to another approach - you simply find their messenger contacts from someone who purchased weed in Strasbourg already or on some forum comments, choose stuff from menu, discuss drop off area (this may be some hotel or approximate area), after you pay in crypto (yes, now this is #1 payment option for all “dark” payments) - and stuff gets delivered and dropped where you agree. Package with weed is usually masked, you get a photo and coordinates where to pick up your stuff. As a result - no official payments and no meetings in person (you choose just the approximate package drop area, not the exact place where you meet) - so both you and the dealer stay secure and anonymous. This was a little surprise for me, at home I simply buy directly from my trusted dealer via cache, but we have what we have. How happy I was that I met Joe so I do not need to go through all this 🙂

Five random facts about cannabis

1. Modern-Day Cannabis Is A Lot Stronger

We talked about this on the cannabis flower and its influence in the 60s. For one, it’s purer than the illegal “hippie weed” that was imported into the United States. And it’s also been cultivated to increase its THC content, so the high you get from marijuana today is a lot stronger than what your parents or grandparents consumed.

2. LA Is Weed Wonderland

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

3. 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!

4. Endocannabinoid System

The human body has an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that naturally interacts with cannabinoids from cannabis, playing a role in regulating mood, pain, and appetite.

5. Fast-Growing

Hemp is one of the fastest-growing plants and can reach maturity in just four months, making it a highly sustainable crop.
