Tolerance Level Guesstimation [1= very illegal, 10= completely legal] – 6
Cannabis is illegal. However, the cops are not super strict in general and will let you off with a warning or a fine.
Galway Cannabis Laws
Although cannabis is illegal, and any activities related to it is also considered an offense and illegal, the police around town can be quite moody and funny. You should avoid smoking cannabis in public, and especially in crowded places. Carrying many small baggies of weed, or a large quantity on you will immediately cause suspicion, so it is better to be safe and not carry more than a gram or two on you.
Law Enforcement
The police are temperamental- each cop has their technique and strategy. Cannabis is considered a drug and is, therefore, illegal. However, if it is your first offense, there is a chance that the cops might confiscate your stash and let you off with a warning. In some cases, they might fine you, depending upon their mood and your attitude towards them. In case it is your second or third offense, they will be far more strict with you, so keep that in mind.
It is best to have a friendly attitude when dealing with the cops so that they are more forgiving towards you and don’t arrest you or fine you.
Cannabis prices, quality, and types
Prices of cannabis vary from dealer to dealer and variety of plants. In general, you will find indoor and outdoor-grown weed, along with hash, pollen, and even skunk sometimes.
A quarter hash will cost you 25 Euros, while the grass is more expensive, but again, the prices vary from dealer to dealer. The quality can also vary greatly, so it is best if you know some locals to help you out.
Where to find cannabis in Galway?
