Linz Cannabis Laws

Law Enforcement
If you plan on smoking a little weed in Linz during your trip there, there is both good news as well as bad news for you.
Although it is decriminalized to possess a small quantity of weed (about 5 grams or less), you still cannot smoke it in public. If the cops catch you with a small amount of weed in public, they might let you off with a warning, might fine you, or might even send you to a rehabilitation center, if they feel the need to. But, if you are caught smoking in public, there might be more significant consequences.
Cannabis Prices and Quality
Typically, you should be able to get 1 gram of decent quality cannabis for 10 Euros. However, it is very likely that you, as a tourist, will get ripped off, so be very careful. It is a good idea to check the quality of the weed before buying it. Most of the time, the quality will be quite average. However, it is also possible that you buy a bag of poor quality or even fake weed from the street dealers.

Look for the street dealers- this will be your best bet. You will find them around parks, the stations, and even just on street corners. You can also ask the young locals for some help. Bauernberg Park and Donaupark are two popular spots where you will be able to spot dealers easily.
