Blazin' in Tivat, Montenegro - My Story

Yo, what's good? Today, I’m gonna spill the tea on my trip to the wild streets of Tivat, Montenegro. 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 Tivat.

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

What Are the Rules About Weed in Tivat?

In Tivat, weed with a lot of a special component called THC (the stuff that makes you feel high) is not allowed. You can’t just go to a store and buy it like in some other countries. There’s also a kind of weed that doctors can give to sick people, but it doesn’t make you feel high like the other kind.

When I was in Tivat, I met a local guy named Steve who knows a lot about how things really work with weed in Tivat. He told me that even though the rules are strict, the police aren’t always super strict about it, especially with visitors.

How the Cannabis Law Is Enforced in Tivat

Technically, any cannabis product with more than 1% THC is illegal in Tivat. However, Steve explained that the police tend to be relatively relaxed when it comes to cannabis in Tivat, especially with tourists.

If you’re caught with a small amount — less than 10 grams of weed or 5 grams of hash — you’re unlikely to face serious consequences. The police might confiscate your weed, but it’s unlikely you’ll get into much trouble as long as you’re discreet.

Where to buy weed in Tivat

Steve shared his experience on the weed purchase process in Tivat. 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 Tivat. 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 Tivat 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 Tivat has changed already.

Now dealers switched to another approach - you simply find their messenger contacts from someone who purchased weed in Tivat 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 Steve so I do not need to go through all this 🙂

What do locals think about ganja in Tivat

The fact that cannabis is strictly regulated by f*cking officials the government does not mean that local inhabitants of Tivat are too much against weed. Mostly - they simply do not care. Of course it is better to preserve some common rules and not to smoke weed in public in Tivat, but even if someone notices you - this will not be treated as some crime or inappropriate behavior.

The overall attitude of locals to weed is rather relaxed, so you may even feel yourself home in Tivat after one good joint, telling this from my own experience. Steve shared with me a joint of simply perfect sativa (while he did not know the exact strain). We were smoking outside the bar, and saw other guys doing the same on the other side of the street 😁 So I can definitely say that smoking weed is rather popular in Tivat.

I’ve asked Steve if he may share contacts of his dealer, cause stuff was out of this world. He told me that his exact dealer does not work with new people, so he will be my dealer during my vacation, which was simply perfect. I wish everyone to find your own Steve in some bar of Tivat.
