Legislation: Smoking marijuana is illegal in all of the Bahamas. Smoking tobacco, however, is permitted inside and around virtually all establishments.
Law enforcement: The Atlantis is virtually police-free. There are many secuirty guards dressed in all white, but don’t be scared to walk by with a blunt or even offer a hit. Some will even direct you to how to buy it. Numerous cab drivers and security guards told us to stay clear of buying on the beach because of physical danger and possible undercover cop activity.
Saw 1 cop on Paradise Island. Looked like he smokes. They seem real laid back. I don’t think they mess with tourists much, because without them, they would be poverty stricken and destitute.
Where to buy marijuana: I watched the rental guys on the beach sitting under an umbrella getting wasted waiting for a tourist to come up and give them $140 for an hour on a Waverunner. I was approached by a couple other locals who asked “you alright mon?” I watched them roll and smoke continuous blunts while they get paid to do what the rest of us pay to do. Looks like a real tough way to make a living. I think I’m moving. Matched one up with a local, and it was fair
In the Atlantis – Walk through the casino away from the Royal towers. You will reach a circle of shops, stay to the right and exit towards the Marina and Marina village any time after 8 p.m. Look for the biggest blackest guys hailing cabs. They’ll immediately ask if you need a cab. Say no and linger and they’ll pull you aside and ask if you need some green or white. Sometimes the cab routine isn’t even used and they will just ask what you’re looking for.
Marijuana prices: They claim average prices…$90 quarters and $280 dollar ounces. Usually, however, you’ll be asked how much you want to spend, and given given some plastic or newspaper-wrapped nugget…that is if you’re lucky enough to get any nugget. I was offered an “ounce” that could not have been more than 10-12 grams. Be prepared to get ripped off (blow starts at 100 a gram and 300 for an 8-ball).
More information: Awesome place. Atlantis was so cool. Everyone in Nassau looks like they burn. However be forewarned…the weed sucks. It’s extremely low quality, tastes awful and is filled with seeds. I highly suggest you buy some nicely flavored blunt wraps, pick out the seeds and stems, and enjoy.
Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 2.5
Legislation: Marijuana is illegal in the Bahamas, and so is any related action.
Law enforcement: Watch out for the cops. Better to avoid them if possible, you never know what they gonna do.
There are undercover cops that sometimes try to sell pot to tourists. If this happens, you can probably bribe the officer.
Law enforcement is abundant in all areas besides across the bridge where the Atlantis is located and at the Straw market
Where to buy marijuana: almost everywhere, with a focus on taxi
drivers. i even had people drive by and offer free samples.
Cab Drivers for sure. Just get into a cab and tell the driver you are looking for GANJA. He’ll probably take you to pick some up. It might cost a little more for the ride, but it’s the only way really. He will probably take you to ghetto nassau, but just stay chillin and you’ll be straight.
Word of warning, take extreme caution buying bud from people who solicit you. The cops are known to do this and you will probably go to jail.
Also Try the Straw Market.
another reporter added: “Everywhere. Upon arrival at my resort I was approached by the bellboy. Then, while walking down the street to the store. Then by the guy who hands out towels. You should have no problem getting weed.”
and also: “Try walking along the port near the straw market at night, there are probably dealers hanging out near senor frogs bar. Luckily late night straw market vendors across from the dealers will happily sell you a pipe ”
and: “EVERY black man that is working in the Straw market will say do you want cigars. This is a cue. Some of the older gentlemen will straight ask you if you want to “party”. These guys are easy going you can have some fun with them.”
Marijuana prices: $20 for a handfull
They are asking $50 for a 1/4oz, but $20 for a 1/4oz seems to be about the rate. You can bargain the price down.
also: “$35 = 1/8th”
and: “Ridiculous tourist prices probably $50 for an 1/8th of seedy schwag ( especially if you look like a chump). Some guys will ask for a $20 bribe to point you towards the dealer (who may be sitting not 5ft away)”
and: “20$ a gram bag”
Brands: seedy dirt weed, but does the job
It may not look like the shit, but it gets the job done. Just make sure your shit aint laced.
schwag full of seeds packaged into dime bags with various logos stamped on them
More information: Smoke the driver down if he takes you to get the herb. Some the rest in your hotel room or the beach (owee)

Legislation: Illegal but rarely enforced.
Law enforcement: There is usual only 1-3 police officers on duty at a time and hey are mostly there to make sure drunk tourist don’t get in fights with locals. However occasionally there can be federal Bahamian narcotics officers running through one of the bars usually looking for coke dealers. I’ve never heard of the police going after tourists, but as long as yur smart you should be good. You might see some locals smoking spliffs on he street however i woud be weary during the day just to be smart. Smoking in some of the bars/clubs is tolerated. You can always take a stroll on the beach ..(recommended)
Where to buy marijuana: Just about everywhere. Walking around or driving on a golf cart you will smell locals and tourists lighting up. The best bet to score is at night outside Vicums nightclub. Pretty much all of the locals hanging around outside are either dealing or their friend deals, so you just have to ask. During the day just ask anyone who looks like they smoke and they can hook you up.
Marijuana prices: Prices can vary, it all depends on which middle man your dealing with and how much they want to rip you off because your a tourist. The dealers will probably high ball you so don’t be afraid to haggle a little. It’s hard to ge exactly the weight you want, you almost always get less , just know that going into it. Not sure if they don’t know measurement or if they assume all tourists are idiots. Median price is about $50 for an eighter of Bahaian mangrove grown brown frown.
Marijuana brands: I’m sure there’s some good stuff around, but all the weed i saw was extremely brown, plenty of seeds and stems and tasted not so great. However it gets the job done, highly recommend blunt wraps.
More information: The dealers also sell anything else you want. Weed is the favorite down there though, for sure.

Legislation: Marijuana is illegal in the Bahamas, and so is any related action.
Law enforcement: Tourist map/brochure says that possession of any illegal drug is a “serious criminal offence,” but there are hardly any police around. On the other hand, the Bahamas is a very religious country, and many of the older/religious people seem to think that marijuana is a dangerous drug that causes many problems in their country. So be smart and smoke away from other people, where you won’t be detected, and you won’t have any troubles. Further info from a local reporter says it is true, there are under cover cops that will try to sell you weed & either lock you up or attempt to ask you for money. Beware however not all cops will accept bribes & if you try to they can add an extra charge of bribery to the possession they already got you for.
ALAS there is a light at the end of this tunnel for tourist ONLY. You will not be sent to prison if the amount is under a 1/4 oz. they will simply slap you with a fine which usually run about $1500-$2000. now if you can’t pay the fine your ass is going to prison for sure. Courts are closed on weekends so if you get busted on a weekend you will have to sit in a jail cell at the police station until the courts open on monday.
Where to buy marijuana: I’m very shy about asking strangers, especially considering the above info, but here’s what i did: I went to the Port Lucaya Marketplace, looking for a place that sold pipes. I told the person selling the pipes that “I would like to buy one, if I could find something to put in it.” I was immediately offered a $20, and a few minutes later, a baggie was pressed into my hand. I took a quick look, liked what I saw, bought a few souvenirs, and left with everything I needed. However a local reporter warns of this activity: NEVER BUY ANY drugs in the tourist areas they are crawling with under cops. Port Lucaya market place & surround areas have video surveillance everywhere if you buy anything there & get busted they will have video evidence to go along with the charge. BE CAREFUL HERE. the international bazaar was once an active tourist shopping area but after 2 major hurricanes it never really recovered. this would probably be the best & place to score a sack of the ganja. most the of the shops are closed & the security is really non existent. you can also ask most cab driver to take you for some this is also a safe way but it will cost you extra for sure & some cabbie might be offend if you ask. but this is by far the safest way. the so called ghetto in freeport, looking like a ghetto but bahamain people are general very cool people. you can easy score there you will stand out as a tourist & the people will be more than happy to direct you to one of the many shops within a blocks radius. you will get direct prices 1/4oz are $15 full oz is $50-$60.
Marijuana prices: I didn’t have a scale, but I think i got nearly 2 grams for $20…about the same prices as good bud in the U.S.
Cabbies or tourist hustlers will charge you about doucble or even triple the price. 1/4oz will be $50 for sure & maybe even more.
direct prices 1/4 oz $15
full oz $50-$60
Marijuana brands: No idea. The weed was a little browner looking than I’m used to, but the high was very good; didn’t have to smoke more than a few hits to get there.
More information: If you have to go asking strangers, stick to guys with their big dreads wrapped up under hats. Otherwise, it’s too hard to tell who’s cool and who’s conservative/religious. In general, don’t bother asking women at all; they tend to be more strongly anti-marijuana than the men.

Legislation: NORML, the international marijuana advocacy organization, said consequences for possession and purchase busts can vary. “The quantity of drugs involved largely determines the everity of the penalty,” NORML said. “Reports are wthdrawn in cases involving a first-time cannabis offense. Afterwards, penalties are defined according to the quantity involved, and can range anywhere from a fine to six months imprisonment.”
Law Enforcement: Vienna police make no special efforts at arresting Marijuana users.
a local reporter added the following story: “In the late 90s I was busted in Austria for bringing a sack from Amsterdam on my way to Hungary on the train. They woke me up early with a knock on my door. I got up and opened it to see two military style police with submachine guns asking to search my bags. I was drowsy and gave permission. I didn’t think they’d find it, but they were increadibly thorough, searching through the pages of books and squeezing out my toothpaste. The room started reeking of Skunk, so I fessed up. They asked what else I had, so I showed them a huge knife I got in Nepal. That wasn’t a problem, but I got taken to the station and had to sign a confession for the weed. They processed me with photos, prints and the works. Then let me go minus the herb and told me I had pled guilty with a suspended sentence. If I get caught there again it’s straight to prison. The cops were pretty cool, but I’d be careful in Austria. Remember, always keep it on your person, nev er in you bags! That way you always have a chance to ditch it, or at least when they search your bags and find nothing you probably won’t have a body search. Be safe!”
Where to buy marijuana in Vienna: One local smoker suggested a pub called Camera as a good place to score. Another said visitors could ask other shoppers at Bush Planet, a local head shop.

City tale:
Austria’s leading city, despite an overstated reputation, is not a haven for blue hairs drowsing off to chamber music. Vienna has plenty to offer, including bags of bud and cool places to enjoy the effects. But unlike some other European capitals, like Prague to the north, weed and hash are not widely accepted by the powers that be. Once the seat of the Hapsburgs and their
Austro-Hungarian Empire, Vienna is now home to about 1.6 million of the country’s 8 million residents. The city, located on the Danube River in northeastern corner of Austria, is an architectural jewel whose famous denizens have included Napoleon, Mozart and Sigmund Freud.
The sexed-up psychoanalyst was reportedly no stranger to drugs, and neither is his hometown. “Marijuana gets all my love,” said a Vienna local named Haze. A gram of pot or hash usually costs between 100 and 130 Austrian schillings ($6 to $8 American). The costs obviously increase with pedigree. An unhappy visitor decreed that “the quality of all drugs is poor,” but another said there is good homegrown from upper Austria available for reasonable prices. “This’ll make your day,” he said of the Vienna weed. One local smoker suggested a pub called Camera as a good place to score. Another said visitors could ask other shoppers at Bush Planet, a local head shop. Vienna is famed for its classic entertainment such as the Vienna Boys’ Choir and lavish New Year’s balls, which shouldn’t be avoided by soft drug tourists. A smoker named Bailey suggested a great time to fire up a joint is “just before the performance in the Vienna Opera House of a great symphony orchestra. Sound plus ambiance.”
But the city offers more modern diversions as well. The blaring hip hop and techno parade of the annual Free Party on Ring Street brings out dancing freaks in silver body paint and purple wigs. Vienna nightlife can stretch early into the morning.
One of the city’ party hubs is the “Bermuda Triangle,” the collection of bars and clubs in the area of Rabensteig, Seitenstettengaße, and Ruprechtplatz streets. Slammer Bar is one of the better choices, located in the heart of the triangle at Seitenstettengaße 5. Volksgarten at Burgring 1 has something for everybody with a bar, beer and wine garden, disco area and live music outdoors.
“The atmosphere here was incredible,” said a visitor named Solbeam, who warned that Volksgarten’s popularity drives up the cost. “Admission was more than my hostel.” Shebeen at Lerchendfelderstraße 4-7 shows episodes of “The Simpsons” every Sunday night, a stoner’s delight. The bar also holds a bladder buster on Tuesdays, offering beers for 15 schillings ($1) until somebody breaks the seal. Tunnel, located at Florianigaße 39, is popular with students and offers live daily music and cheap eats to take care of your munchies. The couches in the laid back Pandora’s Box at Kurzgaße 6 are a good spot for post-smoking relaxation. Other notable names include Centimeter I and II at Lerchendfelderstraße 4-7, Paddy O’Brien’s on Passauer Platz, Blue Box at Richtergaße 8, Nachtasyl at Stumpergasse 53 and P1 at Rotgaße 9. Flex, one of the continent’s hottest dance clubs, is conveniently located in a fairly seedy area well known for street dealers. Take the U2 or U4 Metro to Schottenring and the club is at Donual/Augartenbr along the Danube Canal. But visitors should take caution when searching for party favors.
“It’s all illegal,” said Michael Leidig, a journalist living in Vienna. “You’ll get arrested and locked up if they catch you with anything.” NORML, the international marijuana advocacy organization, said consequences for possession and purchase busts can vary. “The quantity of drugs involved largely determines the everity of the penalty,” NORML said. “Reports are wthdrawn in cases involving a first-time cannabis offense. Afterwards, penalties are defined according to the quantity involved, and can range anywhere from a fine to six months imprisonment.”
Peter Hacker, a United Nations drugs coordinator in Vienna, explained, “If someone only smokes a bit of hash and has no further problems, we don’t take the issue further. There is no one in prison in Vienna for using hash.”
But Leidig added that justice is not color blind, noting that the Vienna police chief has said “he believes [drug use] is endemic in black people.” Therefore, Vienna cops stop and search black people for drugs quite frequently, regardless of whether they are bums or businessmen. “If you come across the border and you’re black there’s a 90 percent chance you’ll get searched for drugs,” Leidig said.

Legislation: Cultivating, selling, dealing, possessing, smoking, or consuming the products of this plant is an offence. Cannabis is illegal, and you will get arrested for it.
it’s illegal and cops do look for it. there have been a lot of busts recently. lots of the younger generation are not smoking as much pot as before in sydney as crystal meth is the new trend unfortunately ( what wrong wit there people weed is the SHITT!).
Law Enforcement: The police have introduced a “caution” system where first-time offenders caught with small amounts are given a formal police caution and let go without being prosecuted.
our most recent report is: “The NSW police actively pursue and prosecute soft drug users rather than tackling the increase in violent crime. Politicians are big on ‘getting tough on crime’ and this has been interpreted by the police as a carte blanche to hassle pot smokers.
NSW Police have been using sniffer dogs in public places to bust pot smokers for several years now. Despite the legality of this tactic being questioned they have justified it on the grounds of the thoroughly discredited notion of marijuana being a gateway drug.
The sniffer dog teams generally operate in the city area, specifically around Kings Cross and Oxford Street. They have been known to patrol other areas where young people congregate and train stations.
For this reason, it is not advised to carry even modest amounts of marijuana on public transport.
NSW police have a repuatation for being mean, violent and ignorant of the laws they are employed to enforce. They are corrupt but not susceptible to petty street bribes.”
and also: “It’s rare but cops do have sniffer dogs come to bars and on the street. ive been smelled out thankfully i had nothin on me but i had just smoked a nice fatty of hydro”
Where to buy Marijuana in Sydney: Marijuana is quite easy to obtain in Sydney, and because it is also popular and socially acceptable, feel free to ask anyone with a friendly face.
Street sellers locate themselves in Kings Cross, however the deals are very small . . . a good starting point for the desperate.
According to our local reporter: “There are many delivery services. Most stoners will have numbers of dealers, who usually have areas of business. You ring the number and ask to meet somewhere. Of course there are going to be street peddlers in Kings Cross but that should be kept as a last resort. All the weed I’ve ever bought has been through delivery services whereby they will drive to you, as long as it is in their area.”
and also: “if you don’t know someone kings cross is your best chance but the prices are ridiculous. Ive had to pay 25 bucks for a joint of the street before ( i was desperate). usually you can walk down and you will be offered weed.”
Sydney Marijuana Prices:
prices in AU$ (1 AU$ = 0.7 USD$ = 0.57 EUR)
$20 per 1 gram

also: “used to be 300 bucks the ounce now prices have gone up a bit to 350 bucks the ounce. this was from my friend who made not profit off me.”

Legislation: From 22 March 2004, changes to the law in WA mean that police can now issue an infringement notice to people over 18 found with less than 30 grams of cannabis or smoking equipment. While cannabis use remains illegal, police now have an alternative to laying criminal charges in defined circumstances. An infringement notice can result in a fine or attending an education session with a drug counsellor.
its illegal to grow and to smoke but you can probably get off with a couple of small plants in your backyard.
Law enforcement: Don’t smoke in front of cops.
They aren’t too fussed if you behave.
Big busts for hydroponic growers.
and a recent update: “Since November 2007, Police in WA have a new weapon to combat the increasing number of stoners who drive. They have a DRUG BUS! yes, this bus will be at random locations near the city looking for party goers or those who even look like a toker to stop the vehicle and have them take a mouth/saliva swab on the side of the road. If you smoked within 4 hrs of driving, you are screwed! There is no tolerance for marajuana, ecstasy/mda or speed/ice. This swab test is designed to catch people under the influence of several of the major drugs.
In addition to this, Police in Perth and outer suburbs have come down very harshly and have managed to take down and dismantle a large number of the major ‘indoor’ growing operations and suppliers, leaving a gaping hole in the marijuana market thoughout most of Western Australia.
You won’t get busted for smoking a joint in a park, just don’t parade the stuff in public (if you’re lucky enough to score or have a contact) and of course, don’t drive after you have had even a small toke!!”
