Blazin' in Duesseldorf, Germany - My Story

Yo, what's good? Today, I’m gonna spill the tea on my trip to the wild streets of Duesseldorf, Germany. Spoiler alert — if you’re lookin' for that fire weed, it ain't as easy as rollin' up to a spot like in Amsterdam. But trust, you can still catch a vibe. Here's how I got down with the herb in Duesseldorf.

So, I just touched down back home from Duesseldorf a couple of days ago, still got that fresh buzz in my head as I’m sparking up this joint of girl scout cookies strain. Man, Duesseldorf was lit — couldn't have had a better time without those dank buds keepin' me company.

Cannabis laws in Duesseldorf, Germany

It is important to note that cannabis, weed, and hash are prohibited in Duesseldorf. You can not officially purchase marijuana strains with high THC concentration in some coffee shops like in Amsterdam. Medical CBD cannabis may be available for purchase at dispensaries, but a prescription from a doctor is required, and you will never get high with CBD.

In one sports bar I got acquainted with Sam who moved to Duesseldorf 3 years ago, so he knows the local drug scene. According to Sam - despite cannabis being banned according to laws, cops are generally relaxed about weed, sometimes being smokers themselves.

How the Cannabis Law Is Enforced in Duesseldorf

Technically, any cannabis product with more than 1% THC is illegal in Duesseldorf. However, Sam explained that the police tend to be relatively relaxed when it comes to cannabis in Duesseldorf, especially with tourists.

If you’re caught with a small amount — less than 10 grams of weed or 5 grams of hash — you’re unlikely to face serious consequences. The police might confiscate your weed, but it’s unlikely you’ll get into much trouble as long as you’re discreet.

Duesseldorf’s Weed Vibe: What Locals Say

Just ‘cause the government’s trippin' on cannabis laws in Duesseldorf doesn’t mean the locals are too pressed. Most of 'em are just livin' their lives, not sweatin' what you do. But don’t get it twisted — keep it respectful. Smoking weed in public in Duesseldorf ain't the move, but if someone peeps you tokin’, it’s not the end of the world.

On my first night in Duesseldorf, Sam invited me to a small gathering at his place — just a few friends, some beer, weed, and a PlayStation 5. It was exactly my kind of evening! I was fortunate to have met Sam, who became my go-to person for cannabis during my stay in Duesseldorf. He assured me that as long as you’re respectful and avoid drawing attention, the locals are generally okay with cannabis use. But again, it’s best not to carry more than 10 grams on you.

So where do smokers purchase weed in Duesseldorf?

Despite the fact that I did not have any problems with weed in Duesseldorf because of Sam, he told me how everything works (and not only with cannabis).

Usually high-level dealers purchase stuff on wholesale darknet websites. Theoretically you may also go through all the nightmare of using darknet websites to get your stuff delivered in several days or even weeks. Website thehiddenwiki.com has all the links you may need to order stuff in the darknet using Tor browser and crypto, but this method usually works if you need a lot of stuff and have time (several days) to wait for the delivery.

For the average tourist, the game has changed. You ain’t gon' find street dealers in Duesseldorf as easy anymore. Now, it’s all about those encrypted messengers. You get the plug’s contact, check out the menu, and decide on a drop-off spot. No face-to-face meetups, just a masked package and some GPS coordinates. Pay with crypto, pick up your stash, and dip. Safe and sound. Was I glad I had Sam as my connect? Hell yeah. Didn’t have to mess with all that drama.
