Cannabis in Magdeburg, Germany - my story

Hi there, hustlers 🤝Welcome to my longread about weed in Magdeburg, done from my own experience plus some local stories.

As you all know cannabis regulations differ in different countries, so the point of this article is to cover marijuana laws in Magdeburg, attitude of police and local inhabitants, weed VS hash availability and price range, my own experience related to weed in Magdeburg.

I have just finished my trip to Magdeburg, stayed there for 10 days, now got back home, writing this post while memory is fresh and with a solid joint in my left hand. As a regular weed smoker I could not imagine my stay in Magdeburg without having some weed in my pocket. Below I will outline information I found out while looking for some good smelly green buds in Magdeburg.

Cannabis regulations in Magdeburg, Germany

It's crucial to emphasize that cannabis, marijuana, and hashish are strictly prohibited in Magdeburg. You won't find coffee shops selling high-THC marijuana strains here. While medical CBD cannabis might be accessible through licensed dispensaries, it necessitates a doctor's prescription, and it's essential to note that CBD doesn't produce psychoactive effects.

While at a club, I had the opportunity to meet Fred, who relocated to Magdeburg three years ago and is well-versed in the local drug culture. According to Fred, despite the legal prohibition of cannabis, law enforcement officers generally adopt a lenient attitude towards marijuana, with some even being cannabis enthusiasts themselves.

What if I get caught with weed in Magdeburg?

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 Magdeburg and bring money to Germany.

Attitude of locals to cannabis in Magdeburg

Even though high THC cannabis is strictly regulated in Magdeburg - local inhabitants of Magdeburg are not against it at all. Young people and tourists are top target audiences for weed dealers. This does not mean you may walk and smoke joints on the streets, but also no one will be too surprised seeing someone smoking weed.

As Fred told - even local cops in Magdeburg sometimes use cannabis. So in general we may conclude that the atmosphere in Magdeburg is relaxed when we speak about cannabis. Just behave correctly and watch your back - and everything should be cool.

So, then Fred shared the small joint of a new hemp variety, thanks to him, it was the exact thing I needed. We got some portions of tasty beer and we were a little bit drunk, so we decided not to go far. We started smoking on the street straight near my hostel and it seemed that on the next street some guys were doing the same.

I was thankful to Fred for one joint, but I wanted to find a regular supplier for all my vacation in Magdeburg . So I begged Fred to share the name of his provider of weed with me. He declined it, because his friend didn't cooperate with the tourists, only with locals. I was persistent, so at the end of the evening and the couple of beers, he agreed to be the dealer of marijuana for me. All my goals connected with good rest were solved, thanks to Fred!

Where to search for weed in Magdeburg

While Fred became my temporary cannabis dealer (and this was the answer for me to all my questions) - he told me how things work in Magdeburg.

Top tier dealers in Magdeburg purchase cannabis on darknet websites that handle wholesale orders that may contain kilograms of weed and hash. Some darknet dealers process small orders as well, so if you are ready to understand Tor browser and how .onion sites work + ready to wait several days for delivery - take a look on thehiddenwiki.com - it has all links and info you will need about darknet.

If you are the person who doesn't want to wait or you vacation in Magdeburg is too short for waiting, only the local dealer can save your time and help with weed. Of course, you can just use the familiar way many people find it to wander around the city looking for a stranger who can offer you a small variety of joints for cash. But I think it's not the best manner to waste your time in Magdeburg. In our time almost all sellers work online and use cryptocurrency, so walking around the streets may not bring you any results. Now the way of buying cannabis has become more convenient - you get some contact of a dealer, write to him via messenger, choose what you want to buy, pay via crypto and get the delivery to a hotel or previously discussed place. If you don't know any contact of a dealer just ask some barmans or just use google. One more point you should notice that dealers try not to have a personal meeting with the buyer, so the package of weed is just placed in the previously discussed place and you get the photo and GPS tag of the exact place of your purchase.

I was really surprised because I was totally sure that “cash rules the roost”. But now when you can easily convert cryptocurrency to real cash and this point excludes personal meetings thereby, cash started to lose their positions in the drug business. Fred also advised me if you are not familiar with the crypto world, just ask your friends. He was totally sure that everyone nowadays has at least one friend who is close to the crypto and likes smoking as well. So you can just ask him to make the transaction for you. It is absolutely safe for both sides.
