Tolerance Level Guesstimation [1= very illegal, 10= completely legal] – 5
Cannabis is illegal, as is growing, selling, and cultivation. Although the laws are stringent, they are very slowly moving towards a change.
Cork Cannabis Laws
Cannabis is illegal, and the laws around weed are quite strict in Cork. Even if you possess a small quantity of weed, it can very well get you into trouble- at least you would have to pay a fine for it, and your weed will be confiscated. As for other offenses like smoking in public, growing it, or selling it, you can get into much more trouble.
Law Enforcement
In general, the police are quite relaxed and will not do much if you are not openly smoking in public or creating a scene. However, in many cases, they will fine you- for a first offense, you have to pay 635 Euros, for a second offense, 1269 Euros, and a third offense, not just a fine, but also a year in prison!
Of course, in some cases, the friendlier of the cops might just let you off with a warning, but for that, you have to be lucky.
Cannabis Prices, Quality, and Types
There are several types and qualities of weed you will find in Cork. A very common kind is known as Soapbar- it is extremely common and awful quality. Whatever you do, just don’t buy soapbar. This strain is linked with significant criminal gangs, and it can get you into much more serious trouble than just buying some other weed. Be very, very cautious, and refrain from buying, smoking, or selling soapbar.
Hash is tough to find here, almost impossible actually, so better not to bother with it.
There are various other strains that I’ll mention below, along with their prices. The quality differs from strain to strain and also dealer to dealer.
Soapbar- 7 gram- 20-30 Euros
Pollen- 30-60 Euros a gram
Irish outdoor- 7-15 Euros; gram
Commercial sensimilia- 10-15 Euros; gram
Bubble hash- 20-50 Euros; gram
