Quite recently, cannabis for personal use has been decriminalized. However, public possession, growing, and consumption is entirely illegal.
Bruges Cannabis Laws
Technically, cannabis is illegal in Bruges. However, very recently- since 2003, cannabis for personal use has been decriminalized. Only as recently as 2015 has cannabis for medical use also become legal.
When it comes to cannabis for personal use- an adult individual is allowed to carry just about 3 grams of cannabis on themselves. Any more, and you might be considered a dealer- and have to face the necessary charges.
Law Enforcement
When it comes to actual enforcement of cannabis law, Bruges is quite relaxed. You may carry up to 3 grams of cannabis on you, in some cases, even up to 5 grams. You can also smoke in public, and the cops might just decide to turn a blind eye, or even just let you off with a warning.
If you are, however, caught smoking near children, in a public place, or if you are causing a nuisance, the cops are within all their rights to fine you up to thousands and even arrest you.
You should not carry any more than 3 grams of weed on you, just to be safe. And try and not be too overt about smoking it in public.
Stay safe, and you should have a wonderful time smoking cannabis in Bruges.
Prices of Cannabis
Depending upon the dealer you get your cannabis from, where you are buying it from, and the strain of the weed, your prices can vary anywhere from 10 Euros to much higher! Rates of cannabis can change daily, so it’s hard to say.
Where can you find weed in Bruges?
The best way to find cannabis in Bruges is to have some friendly locals tell you where you can find good dealers. Otherwise, it can be a little difficult to come across dealers on your own. Most of the time, it will be immigrants who supply weed and hash to tourists, and not local dealers.
When buying cannabis, be very careful as the quality can be quite bad sometimes. I guess you just have to be very careful or very lucky!
