Tolerance Level Guesstimation [1= illegal, 10= completely legal] – 5
Cannabis is technically illegal, but different states have different tolerance levels. As long as you don’t carry more than 6 grams or sell weed, you should be fine.
Dresden Cannabis Laws
In general, cannabis is illegal. However, you will still notice that Dresden is quite tolerant when it comes to cannabis. You might even get away with smoking a joint in public- as long as you are not creating a scene or doing it next to schools or hospitals or a prison.
You can carry up to 6 grams of cannabis on you, but if you are caught distributing it, you will be arrested. Otherwise, you will just be let off with a warning.
Law Enforcement
Thankfully, the cops in Dresden won’t go out of their way to bust you if you are carrying a small amount of weed, or even smoking a joint in public. The only time that you will be in trouble is if you are smoking it in a crowded place, or caught selling or buying it. Other than that, you’re safe!
Prices and Quality of Cannabis
Typically, it should cost you around 10 Euros for a gram of weed. However, tourists always get ripped off by dealers, and Dresden is no different in this regard.
You might be able to get weed for a lower price too, but the quality will not be as good. It is a good idea to try out a little bit (smell it or smoke a bit) before actually buying the entire thing from the dealer.
Where can you buy weed in Dresden?
The rule of thumb is most German cities is that you will easily find a lot of dealers around the train stations and in the parks. It is the same in Dresden. Two places that you can explore are Albertplatz and Neustadt, where you will almost certainly find dealers!
