Marijuana laws and legislation for Strasbourg
Strict cannabis laws will come into effect in France in 2025. Recreational use will remain illegal and will be punishable by a €200 fine. The government continues to firmly oppose legalization. Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau emphasized the link between drug use and gang violence. Despite calls for reform, such as a national referendum proposed by the mayor of Grenoble, the French government prioritizes drug control and law enforcement over legalization.
Medical cannabis is currently undergoing a trial phase in France, which began in 2021 and has been extended until July 31, 2025. The program, involving approximately 1.800 patients, aims to evaluate cannabis-based treatments for conditions such as epilepsy, neuropathic pain, and the side effects of chemotherapy. The results of this study could influence future legislation on medical marijuana in France. However, cannabis remains strictly regulated at present, and there are no plans for broader legalization.
Criminal prosecution
Keep in mind that the police can arrest you for activities related to soft drugs. They might also turn a blind eye, but there's a real possibility of getting into trouble. The courts are somewhat more lenient and usually release private users with smaller amounts with a warning.
At Place des Halles – the police usually conduct raids on the dealers every few months. The dealers notice when one of their group enters and either become more discreet or stay hidden for one to two weeks.
Where can you buy marijuana in Strasbourg?
Place des Halles, a shopping center on Quai Kebler. Inside and outside, many North Africans are milling about. Smile and nod to one of them, and he'll lead you around the corner and sell you hashish.

During a restaurant visit, this guy recommended some amazing cannabis that enhanced my entire vacation. Since then, I contact him before every trip at dopefast420@gmail.com. Highly recommended for anyone visiting France.
Cannabis prices:
20 euros for a stick of Moroccan hashish. Occasionally, there are scammers who try to charge higher prices or sell fake hashish (smell it before buying).
