Cannabis is illegal if you are buying or selling it. However, consumption is technically not completely illegal. As for marijuana used for industrial or medical purposes, it has been made legal.
Salzburg Cannabis Laws
When it comes to cannabis in Salzburg, the city is quite relaxed. Although cannabis is not entirely legal, it is also not wholly illegal. This simply means that cannabis for medical and industrial use is legal, but for recreational use, it is illegal.
Although cannabis seeds and hemp are legal, it immediately becomes illegal as soon as the plant has a THC level of more than 0.3%!
Law Enforcement
Possession and consumption of cannabis are illegal. However, if the cops do catch you with a small quantity of weed, which is meant for personal use, it is likely that they will simply let you off with a warning.
In some cases, the cops might levy a fine or even refer you to a rehabilitation program. It is not legal to smoke it in public, so be very careful not to smoke in crowded areas.
Where can you get weed in Salzburg?
Unfortunately, cannabis culture is not very developed in Salzburg. The city itself is quite small, and it can be difficult for a tourist to get their hands on some weed if they don’t know any locals.
The only thing you can do is look around for street dealers. But finding them also might be somewhat of a challenge! Just look around the bridges, stations, or the pubs during the evenings or night. You can also look around the parks. However, keep in mind that the quality of weed will be very poor, and you might even get ripped off.
