Bern Cannabis Laws
Although cannabis is very illegal, the laws are quite relaxed, as long as an individual is not distributing or smoking in public. A small amount for personal use is fine, and you won’t be sent to jail for it.
In case you are below 18 and are caught smoking, you will be arrested for it.
Law Enforcement
In practice, the cops won’t bother much with you if you are smoking in public, as long as you are not doing it right in their face, or in the middle of a crowded place. Find a secluded spot and toke away- you won’t be bothered.
As for possession, a few grams won’t get you into too much trouble. However, if you have more than 3 grams or you are distributing it, or carrying small baggies of it, you will be arrested as they will think of you to be a dealer.
Cannabis prices, quality, and types
You should be able to get a gram of weed for 10 CHF. However, it’s easy to get ripped off, especially if you are a tourist buying from the street dealers.
The quality of weed will also depend upon the dealer and vary greatly. There is no guarantee.
In the legal weed shops, you will find a great variety of strains and types of weed, but then again, they won’t get you high.
Where can you get weed in Bern?
If you are fine with light smoking cannabis, head over to any legal weed shop and buy your cigarettes or joints.
Otherwise, go around the parks and streets where you’ll find plenty of dealers willing to sell more potent quality stuff.
