Marijuana laws and regulations for Kranj
Since February 2025, Slovenia has undergone significant changes to its cannabis legislation. In June 2024, a non-binding referendum demonstrated strong public support for reforming cannabis laws. Approximately 66,7% of voters supported permitting the cultivation and processing of cannabis for medical purposes, while 51,6% favored allowing cultivation and possession for limited personal use.
Following the referendum, the Slovenian government announced plans to modernize its cannabis policy. Health Minister Dr. Metka Paragi stated that new laws regulating the cultivation and processing of cannabis for both medical and personal use will be introduced by the end of 2024.
Slovenia permits the sale and use of cannabidiol (CBD) products, provided they contain less than 0,2% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This complies with European Union regulations for industrial hemp. CBD products, including oils, capsules, cosmetics, and food products, are readily available on the Slovenian market.
Despite these developments, recreational cannabis use remains illegal. Possession of small amounts for personal use has been decriminalized and is punishable as a misdemeanor with fines ranging from €42 to €209. Cultivation and sale of cannabis without the appropriate permit are strictly prohibited. Penalties range from six months to 15 years in prison, depending on the offense.
Criminal prosecution
In Slovenia, growing and selling marijuana is illegal, but smoking it is theoretically legal. If you are caught with a joint, the police will open it and send it for analysis. In reality, there is virtually no chance of getting caught.
Where can you buy marijuana?
On Friday nights, you can easily get it at "Preernov gaj." Just walk around and ask someone with a joint. If you don't get one after about five tries, you probably won't get it. You can also walk around town and use your nose. You can also get it at "Bosanc" (a square with benches and lots of greenery almost in the city center, but very hidden). Just ask a younger person where it is.
Comments
I was at a shopping mall when a local helped me buy some high-quality marijuana hashish, which became one of the highlights of my trip. Since then, I contact him before every vacation at donhendersonlegit@gmail.com. I highly recommend his marijuana.
Marijuana prices
8 euros – 1 gram of skunk
5 euros – 1 gram of “Domaica” (homegrown weed) – usually high-quality weed
30 euros – 10 grams of “Albanka” or “Bosanka” (grass from Albania and Bosnia) – dung, usually with no or very little smell, looks bad due to transport, many seeds

Good luck getting your marijuana and good luck avoiding encounters with the police.
