Ganja in Niksic, Montenegro - ma story

Hi, folks! Today I plan to share my rasta-experience after visiting infinite party Niksic in Montenegro. Brief conclusion - for some reason it’s not easy to get really good🍀cannabis buds or hash in Niksic in an “oldschool way”, but options do exist. Below I describe what is going on with weed in Niksic.

I just got back from Niksic a week ago, now smoking a big joint of pineapple weed strain, reminding me of that cool time I had in Niksic — thanks in part to the weed that accompanied me on my adventures.

What Do People in Niksic Think About Weed?

Even though weed is against the rules, a lot of people in Niksic don’t mind it too much. They just think you should be polite and not smoke it in front of everyone.

As I was actively asking and discussing weed - Sam invited me to his apartment for a small party that very first evening - just a couple of his rasta friends, beer, weed and PS5 - exactly what I do love😁😁😁. How lucky I was😁 Sam told he will be my weed dealer while I am here in Niksic so I had no issues with great stuff all that time.

Sam also confirmed locals are OK with weed in Niksic if you behave yourself correctly, while it’s better to avoid cops and not to have more than 10 grams in your pocket.

Where to Buy Cannabis in Niksic

So, how do you actually buy cannabis in Niksic? Sam shared some insights. Big dealers in Niksic often source their products through the darknet — using services like DrChronic or Bitpharma. They then resell the cannabis to locals and tourists. While this method is possible, it’s not really practical for short-term visitors. Navigating the darknet and waiting for a package can be complicated and time-consuming.

For tourists, the process of obtaining weed in Niksic is a bit different. Street dealers are less common these days. Instead, many have moved to a more discreet system using encrypted messaging apps like Telegram. You get their contact details from someone who’s already bought weed in Niksic or through online forums, then you place your order, arrange a drop-off point, and pay with cryptocurrency. The package is typically left in a hidden spot, and you’re given the location and a photo to help you find it. This approach minimizes risks for both you and the dealer. I was glad I had Sam as my connection so I didn’t have to go through all this hassle.

Marijuana laws in Montenegro

It is important to outline that high % THC cannabis, weed, and hash are forbidden in Niksic. You can not officially purchase marijuana strains with high at least some reasonable THC % concentration in some coffee shops like in the Netherlands. Medical cannabis may be available for purchase at dispensaries, but you will never get high with CBD buds you may find.

In the bar of my hotel I met Sam who has lived here in Niksic for a while, so knows a lot about 4:20 movements😁. He said that strict official regulations are not so tough in practice.

What’s the Law Say vs. What’s Really Good?

Officially, anything with more than 1% THC is a no-go in Niksic. But Sam put me on game — cops in Niksic are chill about the weed. Unless you’re actin' a fool or got bad luck with the wrong officer, you might just get your stash snatched, have a chat, and be on your way. But yo, don’t push it. Keep it low-key, don’t smoke in public, and if you’re holdin' less than 10g of weed or 5g of hash, you should be straight.
