Marijuana laws and legislation for Rennes
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
It's illegal, so be careful. Things can get really tricky with weed in France sometimes. I guess it depends on the police officer who arrests you.
Where can you buy marijuana?
If you travel to the central shopping area, Place St. Anne/Place St. Michele, you'll find festival-goers who look like New Age hippies/African and Moroccan types hanging around. Just ask one of them; they'll be happy to help.
Comments
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.
Marijuana prices
You pay €20 for anything from one to three grams. In France, prices in a good year range from €70 to €90 for 25 grams of good Moroccan hashish if you find a good dealer. Otherwise, weed is more expensive, but so-called Dutch weed is hard to find. It's more likely to be homegrown, but still not coffeehouse quality.
Marijuana brands
Top-quality hashish in Morocco; since France and Morocco are the best of friends, most of the imported hashish first arrives in France.
