Marijuana Laws & Legislation for Tehran

Marijuana is illegal in Iran, and the country has one of the most stringent cannabis policies in the world. Both recreational and medical cannabis use are prohibited. Possession of marijuana can result in severe penalties, including long prison sentences, heavy fines, or even the death penalty in extreme cases, especially for marijuana trafficking. Cannabis cultivation is strictly illegal, and Iran has long been known for its harsh drug enforcement policies. Despite some reports suggesting that cannabis could be used medicinally in very limited circumstances, the government has made no significant moves toward legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana. The Iranian legal system continues to treat all forms of marijuana as a serious crime, with no indication of reform on the horizon.

Please note that marijuana laws are subject to change. For the most current information, consult your countries official resources or legal counsel.

Law Enforcement

Police would be no bother if you don’t act silly. If you are a foreigner then for sure you’ll face no problems at all, but if you are caught a few dollars will solve the problem.

Smoking it though is technically illegal but enforcement is next to nothing. You can walk anywhere in Iran and puff away and no one will have any idea that you are smoking weed. Most people here smoke hash or opium so smoking weed is considered as OK.

Where to buy Marijuana in Iran:

Hash is found every where. In parks or street anywhere you see a group of youngsters smoking or talking, don’t hesitate ask them and at least they’ll know somewhere near for getting hash.Getting weed needs contacts. Dealers are mostly working in western parts of the city. Walking around markets and streets in western parts you can ask young people with the rap style or long hairs like hippies for sure they’ll have the dealers telephone number and will help you out. If you are lucky and get to the right person you’ll get one of the best stuff you’ve ever smoked.
