Cannabis is illegal in Berlin; however, since 2015, medical cannabis has been made legal. Although cannabis for personal use is not legal, it is tolerated as long as you have less than 15 grams.
Berlin Cannabis Laws
If you are someone who likes to enjoy the occasional (or frequent) joint, and you find yourself in Berlin wondering about the laws, there is good news for you!
Although cannabis is illegal in Berlin, the laws are pretty relaxed when it comes to a small quantity, which is meant for personal use. Although in most countries, this ‘small quantity for personal use’ is usually 5 grams, but in Berlin, you can carry up to 15 grams of cannabis!
Since 2015, cannabis for medical use has also become legal, making it easier for those with prescriptions to get medical cannabis.
Law Enforcement
As long as you are carrying less than 15 grams of cannabis on you, the cops won’t bother much with you, as they have much bigger fish to fry. However, even though the city is entirely weed-friendly, it is not a good idea to smoke in public. There is every chance of a cop catching you, fining you, or even suspending your documents.
Honestly, it’s just not worth the trouble. So stay home and smoke all you want, and if you must smoke in public, don’t be too overt about it, and you should be fine!
Prices, Quality and Types of Cannabis
In Berlin, you will find a wide variety of all kinds and strains of cannabis of your choice! From some of the best to some mediocre, or even bad quality cannabis. If you know where to look and what kind of dealers to look out for, you are sure to get your hands on some high-quality cannabis.
Prices of Cannabis
For just some average quality hash of around 2 grams, you can be expected to pay approximately 30 Euros. For weed, you would need to pay 7 to 10 Euros for just a gram, which is reasonable. Of course, if you want the top quality stuff, like Haze or maybe Kush, you might have to pay up to 15 Euros for a gram, or perhaps even more!
Quality of Weed
Mostly, the quality is quite good, and of course, every once in a while, you will come across some exceptional quality weed or hash. But there are also chances of you scoring some mediocre or even bad quality weed. It depends upon the dealer.
Types of Plant
- Wax
- Shatter
- Kush
- Haze
While these are just a few strains, you will find plenty of other types as well. Just ask around!
Where can you get weed in Berlin?
It’s not that hard to get weed in Berlin. Although cannabis is illegal, and only medical marijuana is legal, the city and even the cops are quite tolerant of cannabis for personal use. The most important thing to remember here is to not carry too much weed on you, and of course, not to smoke it in public!
Görlitzer Park is one place you will find a lot of dealers- but be careful. They will be more than willing to rip you off. Know the prices beforehand, and don’t be afraid to negotiate.
Hasenheide is another place to explore, especially if you are a tourist. Most of the time, the dealers will approach you before you need to contact them, so just be casual, and don’t worry. There are plenty of dealers around town!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to buy weed from parks?
Hansenheide and Görlitzer Park are the only places where you should explore for weed and dealers. Of course, keep in mind that the police often raids these places. Even so, five minutes after the raid, things will go right back to square one, and you can find dealers buzzing around again!
Can you smoke hash on the streets?
Well, you shouldn’t, because technically it is illegal and you can get arrested for it. However, if you are very discreet about it, don’t create a scene, or don’t smoke right in the middle of crowds or front of cops, you should be fine.
What happens if you get caught with marijuana?
Technically, nothing much will happen if you are carrying a small amount for personal use. There is a chance that the cops will take you to the station and question you, but as long as you remain polite and don’t create a scene, you should be safe.
