Marijuana Laws & Legislation for Luxembourg
Since February 2025, Luxembourg has legalized the cultivation and personal use of cannabis under certain conditions. A law passed on July 10, 2023, allows adults to cultivate up to four cannabis plants per household, provided that the cultivation takes place at the person's residence or usual place of abode and the plants are not visible from public places. Personal consumption is permitted in private homes and out of the reach of minors. However, the consumption, possession, transport, and purchase of cannabis in public remain prohibited. Violations involving up to three grams of cannabis are punishable by fines ranging from €25 to €500.
In 2018, Luxembourg legalized medical cannabis. Patients with certain conditions, such as chronic pain, chemotherapy-induced nausea, or spasticity due to multiple sclerosis, can access cannabis-based treatments with a valid prescription from hospital pharmacies. The maximum permitted dose is 60 grams per patient over a period of 28 days. Specifically, since January 1, 2025, the Ministry of Health has prohibited the prescription of dried cannabis flowers with a high THC content in order to improve patient safety and treatment efficacy.
The use of cannabidiol (CBD) products is permitted in Luxembourg under certain conditions. CBD products must contain less than 1% THC to be legal. The use of cannabis ingredients such as cannabis resin, extracts, and essences in cosmetic products is prohibited. Only hemp seed oils from industrial plants with a THC content of less than 1% are legal. Furthermore, the sale of CBD-containing herbal smoking products to persons under 18 years of age is prohibited.
Criminal prosecution
If you're just a regular smoker, don't be too conspicuous. Don't smoke near older people. They're quick to call the police if they see you. Younger people are cool with it.
Where to get marijuana:
The place is probably still the number one spot for nightlife, but they don't sell weed there anymore. If you want weed, go to the train station. You'll meet a lot of weird guys there (mostly Black) who can get you anything, not just weed…
Another reporter added: “Go to the park in the city center and just ask around. You’re bound to see some people smoking pot, and someone will show you the way. Just ask. Stay away from the train station; you’ll get ripped off there, and the police are lurking.”
Additional information: The only place where you can (not always) find marijuana in the valley is the reggae bar "Jamaican Bar". There are young smokers there who can help you find some.
If you go to the city center, to Hamilius (where all the bus stations are), you can ask the young people in front of the post office. There are a lot of cameras in that area, so most of the deal will probably take place elsewhere in the city.
Comments
While eating at a restaurant, this guy helped me get high-quality, natural cannabis. It made my vacation so much more enjoyable. I contact him every time I travel at dopefast420@gmail.com. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-notch weed.
Marijuana prices
50 euros for about 5 grams
or 4-5g for 25 euros. You can try to get 4g for 20 (they won't sell you for less than 20 euros unless you know them. So buying just one joint or 1g per bag is not possible).
Marijuana brands
mainly Dutch brands and mainly marijuana and hashish from Maastricht (a city in Holland) or Amsterdam, but also homemade marijuana and hashish, which is often of good quality.
Luxembourg City History:
When it comes to smoking weed and drinking, Luxembourg proves that size doesn't matter.
Although Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in the world and has a population about 30 times smaller than Los Angeles, with its 430.000 inhabitants it still ranks first among the 50 countries in alcohol consumption.
On average, Luxembourgers are among the heaviest drug users in Europe. Statistics on the number of regular cannabis users show that at a professional football match in the 4.900-seat stadium in Luxembourg City, at least 49 locals can be found ready to light up at halftime.
Of course, openly smoking marijuana is illegal, although the courts in Luxembourg are more tolerant than those in neighboring countries. Nestled in a corner between France, Germany, and Belgium, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg suffered for decades from the dominance of larger nations. The result is a proud national motto: "We want to remain what we are," as well as a multicultural society that speaks Luxembourgish, French, German, and English. Foreigners are not only accepted; they make up 30 percent of the country's population.
Luxembourg also boasts one of the world's highest standards of living, which might explain why so many residents regularly enjoy a good joint. Information on soft drug prices isn't readily available everywhere, but they're likely comparable to those in neighboring Belgium: around six US dollars for a gram of marijuana or hashish. The lower town is the heart of Luxembourg City's nightlife and probably the best place to find soft drugs if you don't have local connections. However, the party scene largely reflects the size of Luxembourg.
“If you want to go out and experience something, Wednesday is the day to go. That’s when Luxembourg’s nightlife is at its peak,” said George, a Greek man who lived in Luxembourg City. “Try Friday and Saturday too. On all other days, Luxembourg feels like a deserted city.” His pub recommendations included Scotts in the Grund district, as well as The Tube and Arts Café in the upper town. Nathalie, a native of Luxembourg, recommended that visitors check out Prime Time in Luxembourg City, Marx in Luxembourg-Gare, and a disco called Didgeridoo in Luxembourg-Hollerich.
After smoking, visitors who feel the effects can also enjoy a tour through the “casemates” of Luxembourg City, a 17-kilometer-long labyrinth of tunnels that was once part of an impressive fortress.
Throughout the year, Luxembourg hosts numerous festivals that enliven a visit. The most celebrated is National Day on June 23rd, which is as big a celebration for Luxembourg as New Year's Eve. Early March marks the beginning of another joyous season with Carnival and Bürgsonndeg (Spring Bonfire Day). The Octave at the end of April culminates in a parade led by the royal family, while the Schueberfouer fair in August provides plenty of entertainment. The wine festivals in the Moselle Valley east of Luxembourg City also begin in August and continue until November.
In 1996, Luxembourg decriminalized the use of soft drugs and even proposed adopting the lenient Dutch policy in all Benelux countries, an economic union of Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands. A spokesperson for the Luxembourg government stated that they were prepared to reconsider their cannabis policy.
The drug rights organization NORML stated that drug use will continue to be treated as a crime.
“Private consumption and/or acquisition is punishable by three months to three years in prison and a fine,” according to a NORML report. The court can compel suspects to undergo blood or urine tests. “Refusal to take these tests is punishable by a heavy fine and/or imprisonment.”
The organization points out, however, that the law is stricter on paper than the practice of the authorities. "In practice, possession for personal use usually results in a warning if it involves a small quantity and there are no aggravating circumstances," says NORML.
A published study on Luxembourg's drug policy found: "Although the law does not distinguish between 'soft' and 'hard' drugs, cannabis users are generally not prosecuted by the public prosecutor's office."
In early 2001, the country's parliament began work on an official amendment to the law so that drug use would only be punishable by a fine.
