Marijuana laws and legislation for Split
From 2025, recreational cannabis will remain illegal in Croatia, although possession of small amounts has been decriminalized since 2013. Those caught with small amounts face fines of between €660 and €2.650, while cultivation and distribution remain serious offenses punishable by a minimum prison sentence of three years. Despite several attempts to legalize cannabis for wider use, including a 2022 proposal to allow adults to cultivate up to nine plants, the Croatian government has yet to enact any significant reforms.
Medical cannabis has been legal since 2015, allowing patients with cancer, multiple sclerosis, and other conditions access to cannabis-based treatments with a prescription. However, the supply remains limited, and cultivation for personal medical use is not permitted. CBD products are legal as long as they are derived from industrial hemp with less than 0,2% THC, in accordance with EU regulations.
While public support for broader legalization of Cannabis Despite increasing support for regulation – 72% of Croatians favor it, which is above the EU average – Croatia maintains its strict stance on cultivation and distribution and is only making gradual changes to its cannabis policy.
Marijuana prosecution in Split
The police in Croatia have other problems to deal with. Nothing much happens at home. You should be a bit more careful out and about. (Don't try to show everyone that you're high or anything like that.) From the reports and general statements from the police, etc., it seems that the police are more concerned about the big dealers than the small-time users.
Where can you buy marijuana?
That's the problem. DO NOT approach anyone who looks like a gangster/dealer or something similar. You could get robbed. It's best to simply ask someone you know or have dealt with before. People in Croatia, especially the younger generation, are very friendly.
Comments
This guy helped me buy incredibly natural marijuana at a shopping mall, which made my vacation even better. The quality was top-notch. I now always contact him at donhendersonlegit@gmail.com when I travel. Highly recommended for excellent cannabis.
Marijuana prices
Not as low as in India or something, but if you have to pay as much as in the USA or Western Europe, you're being ripped off.
Further information
One last tip: It's unlikely you'll be offered hashish, and if you are, it's probably bad. In Croatia, you should drink marijuana. If you have the choice, refuse hashish.
