Marijuana Laws & Legislation for Ljubljana – Lubliana
As of February 2025, Slovenia is undergoing significant changes in its cannabis legislation. In June 2024, a non-binding referendum revealed strong public support for reforming cannabis laws. Approximately 66.7% of voters favored allowing the cultivation and processing of cannabis for medical purposes, while 51.6% supported permitting cultivation and possession for limited personal use.
Following the referendum, the Slovenian government announced plans to modernize cannabis policies. Dr. Metka Paragi, the Secretary for Health, stated that new legislation would be introduced by the end of 2024 to regulate the cultivation and processing of cannabis for both medical and personal use.
Regarding cannabidiol (CBD) products, Slovenia permits their sale and use, provided they contain less than 0.2% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This aligns with European Union guidelines on industrial hemp. CBD products, including oils, capsules, cosmetics, and food items, are readily available in the Slovenian market.
Despite these developments, recreational cannabis use remains illegal. Possession of small amounts for personal use is decriminalized and treated as a misdemeanor, punishable by fines ranging from €42 to €209. Cultivation and sale of cannabis without proper authorization are strictly prohibited, with penalties ranging from six months to 15 years in prison, depending on the offense.
Law Enforcement
The police is somewhat stupid. If you smoke in places where people usually smoke you won’t be bothered. If they catch you smoking you will get a bill and your stash will be gone. Just throw everything away before they get to you and they can’t do harm.
Where to buy marijuana in Ljubljana:
Metelkova city (near the main train station) – (but watch out there might be police officers working undercover)(busted 2-times) ask some youngsters (if they say they don’t have any weed try showing them your ID card ( sometimes it works ) just make them sure you don’t work for the police).
You will be very lucky at friday evening. at this time there are many people full of weed.
and also:” You should ask out loud, just go to Metelkova where the youth hostel Celica is, have fun there and soon you will see people smoking near you. You can also check out people relaxing by the river Ljubljanica, just make a walk through the city along the river and use your nose.”
