Marijuana Laws & Legislation for Toulouse
As of 2025, France maintains strict cannabis laws, with recreational use remaining illegal and punishable by a €200 fine. The government continues its firm stance against legalization, with Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau emphasizing the link between drug consumption and gang violence. Despite calls for reform, such as a proposed national referendum by Grenoble’s mayor, the French government prioritizes anti-drug policies and law enforcement over legalization.
Meanwhile, medical cannabis in France remains in a trial phase, initially launched in 2021 and extended until July 31, 2025. The program, involving around 1,800 patients, aims to evaluate cannabis-based treatments for conditions like epilepsy, neuropathic pain, and chemotherapy side effects. The outcome of this study could shape future medical marijuana laws in France, but for now, cannabis remains tightly regulated with no plans for broader legalization.
Law Enforcement
Should not be a problem, except for the odd zealous policeman.
Where to buy marijuana:
In Toulouse, Place Wilson, Place de la Daurade and sometimes place du capitole. You’ll hear dealers ask you “haschich, haschcih”. However, this was 8 years ago. I went back one year ago and Place Wilson was empty. Generally speaking, try to make eye contact with a north african looking guy and see what happens.
Rip off can happen, however it never occured to me in maybe 20 times. Apply the usual rules : never give your money before and check the stuff.
Marijuana Prices
Expensive. 3g of hash for 20 Euros
