Weed in Vaduz, Liechtenstein: my experience

Hi, smokers! You probably know that cannabis laws and regulations vary from one county to another, so let’s go deeper and try to understand what is going on with weed in Vaduz. My post covers info about weed laws, regulations, general attitude of locals and cops, hash VS weed availability and pricing, failures and success in searching weed in Vaduz.

I just got back from Vaduz a couple of days ago, and as I sit here enjoying a small joint of white widow, I can’t help but reflect on the great time I had in Vaduz — thanks in part to the cannabis that accompanied me on my adventures.

How Do People Get Weed in Vaduz?

Finding weed in Vaduz isn’t as easy as just asking someone on the street. Wholesale dealers in Vaduz buy weed through special darknet websites, but that’s a bit tricky for regular cannabis users who want to smoke, but not re-sell weed.

For the average tourist, the game has changed. You ain’t gon' find street dealers in Vaduz 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.

Cannabis Laws in Liechtenstein: What You Need to Know

First things first, it’s important to understand that high-THC cannabis is illegal in Vaduz. Unlike in Amsterdam, you won’t find any coffee shops selling potent marijuana strains. While medical cannabis is available, it’s typically low in THC and won’t give you the high you might be looking for.

During my stay, I met a local named Sam in the hotel bar. He’s lived in Vaduz for a while and knows a lot about the cannabis scene. According to him, while the official regulations are strict, enforcement isn’t always so rigid in practice.

What if I get caught with weed in Vaduz?

In practice, as Sam 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 Vaduz and bring money to Liechtenstein.

Vaduz’s Weed Vibe: What Locals Say

Just ‘cause the government’s trippin' on cannabis laws in Vaduz 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 Vaduz ain't the move, but if someone peeps you tokin’, it’s not the end of the world.

On my first night in Vaduz, 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 Vaduz. 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.

Yes, non-medical cannabis is regulated and restricted in Vaduz, while police is relaxed about marijuana and having less than 10 grams with you should not result in imprisoning anything serious.

Anyway what if you get caught with some THC cannabis product in Vaduz?

Depends on the situation, but if officers think you are a drug dealer for some reason who delivers stuff - you should get punished problems. In general tourists with small amounts of hash or weed are not touched at all, only dealers with large amounts.

Can I find weed in Vaduz in some oldschool way?

Of course you can! While sniffing dark streets / parks and pinging taxi drivers is an outdated approach for searching marijuana already - a big bunch of dealers migrated to online sales via messengers and crypto, but hustling parks and central streets in searches for weed may still give you some successful results.

Prices vary from dealer to dealer and usually depend on quality and anything else. 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 Vaduz so do not know the prices, but should be lower.
