Exploring Cannabis Scene of Palma: My Experience

Hello, everyone! Today, I’m excited to share my recent experience with cannabis in Palma, Spain. In short, finding top-quality marijuana or hash the "old-school way" isn’t easy, but there are definitely options available. Let me walk you through what I discovered about the cannabis scene in Palma.

So, I just touched down back home from Palma 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, Palma was lit — couldn't have had a better time without those dank buds keepin' me company.

So where do smokers purchase weed in Palma?

Despite the fact that I did not have any problems with weed in Palma because of Simon, 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.

If you are just having a short vacation or a trip to Palma - purchasing weed via wholesale darknet websites is not an option. Looking for dealers on the streets and in parks is still something you may do to find some weed in Palma, but more and more dealers are shifting to online orders done via messengers and payments in bitcoins instead of cash. This simply protects them from ever being caught by cops. Crypto payments are anonymous and delivery is done to selected location without any personal meetings, so both you and the dealer are secured from any possible consequences.

This was a surprise for me cause I am more old school and just “heard something about crypto”. While now all youngsters (who are usually a target group for cannabis dealers) have crypto wallets so dealers simply follow the trend. I think dealers are losing money anyway because not all clients know crypto, but Simon commented that nowadays if you do not use crypto - you 100% have a friend who uses it, so you may just send him money from card and he does crypto transaction for you. After that I remembered I also have such a friend, so I agreed with Simon.

What Do People in Palma Think About Weed?

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

Simon was cool enough to invite me to a low-key sesh at his spot — just some homies, beer, weed, and the PS5. Straight up, I felt like I hit the jackpot. Dude even became my plug in Palma while I was in town, so I was never dry and had my weed handy. He told me as long as you keep it cool, the locals are down with the herb. But like he said — don’t be stupid, and don’t carry more than 10g unless you’re lookin’ to have a bad day.

Marijuana laws in Spain

It is important to outline that high % THC cannabis, weed, and hash are forbidden in Palma. 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 Simon who has lived here in Palma for a while, so knows a lot about 4:20 movements😁. He said that strict official regulations are not so tough in practice.

What if I get caught with weed in Palma?

In practice, as Simon said - if you are 18+ and carry less than 20 grams of weed or 10 grams of hash and do not smoke in public - you should not expect any arrest. As a maximum, cops will confiscate your stuff after they ensure you are not a dealer who delivers stuff.

There are some stories about occasional cops forcing people to give them a bribe after catching someone with weed, but such cases are rare. Usually cops do not touch foreign tourists who are spending their vacation or business trip in Palma and bring money to Spain.

From what I saw - super high quality weed may go up to €20 - €25 per 1 gram (while the more you buy - the lower price you get), and high quality hash was around €30-€35 per 1 gram. Have not seen low quality weed in Palma so do not know the prices, but should be lower.
