Marijuana Laws & Legislation for Bassetere
<
Marijuana remains illegal in St. Kitts for both recreational and medical use as of 2025. The possession, cultivation, and trafficking of marijuana are criminal offenses, and penalties for marijuana-related crimes can include fines or imprisonment. There has been no significant movement toward marijuana decriminalization or legalizing medical cannabis in St. Kitts, and the country continues to enforce strict drug laws. While there are discussions about cannabis reform in the Caribbean region, St. Kitts maintains a conservative stance on marijuana use.
Law Enforcement
Didn’t see many police, the whole place is extremely laid-back. Everything from room service to the airport is so lax that every little thing takes a long time even in the most professional of situations, so I would assume the local law enforcement is the same.
Where to buy marijuana:
Walk down a public beach, especially the south-east side of the island. I found some beach shacks right on the sand. We were staying with couple of locals, and they told me that it was not sketchy; very low risk of trouble from the chap who ran the place or police. He sold beer, rolling papers, and various trinkets. As I walked by at about 6pm he was showing another fellow a small wooden bowl full of green ganja. I didn’t buy any that day, but the next day I asked him for some and he put it in a paper towel, and bought individual rolling papers, rather than a package, which he gave to me all crumpled up, I assume this is the norm here. The stuff I bought was also brown, with a few seeds in it, but it turned out to be a very potent high. I hope these examples only illustrate a few cultural differences you should expect when you buy your green here, and you will hopefully be less uneasy upon receiving brown weed.
Marijuana Prices
I paid ~$30 USD for ~2.5g, but it was very good quality.
