Marijuana Laws & Legislation for Zagreb
As of 2025, cannabis remains illegal for recreational use in Croatia, though possession of small amounts has been decriminalized since 2013. Those caught with minor quantities face fines ranging from β¬660 to β¬2,650, while cultivation and distribution remain serious criminal offenses, carrying a minimum prison sentence of three years. Despite multiple attempts to legalize cannabis for broader use, including a 2022 proposal to permit adults to grow up to nine plants, the Croatian government has yet to approve significant reforms.
Medical cannabis has been legal since 2015, allowing patients with cancer, multiple sclerosis, and other conditions to access cannabis-based treatments with a prescription. However, supply remains limited, and cultivation for personal medical use is not permitted. CBD products are legal, provided they are derived from industrial hemp with less than 0.2% THC, in line with EU regulations. While public support for broader cannabis legalization is growingβ72% of Croatians favor regulation, higher than the EU averageβCroatia maintains a strict stance on cultivation and distribution, with only gradual changes in its cannabis policies.
Law Enforcement
Best way to avoid this is not smoking in the parks around the center because there are lot s of undercover cops eager to pinch some kid with a joint.
The police don’t usually bother tourists but there are many of them and many work as undercover. They mostly look like criminals so you won’t have much trouble with noticing them. If they catch you, then probably they will take you into custody for over night, and if this is your first crime then they will let you go with some $ penalty. If you are a tourist then you will have to leave the country.
Where to buy marijuana:
You can always try to ask somebody on the main square,but the best thing is to post a note on some forum ,or here, somebody will answer.You can also try in many bars in TkaliΔiΔeva street just aroud the corner from the main square.
If you know somebody then you won’t have much problem getting some. If you don’t know anyone in the town then you might try to find some younger people in the street that look normal, you will know what i mean, or ask some rasta looking like guys and ask them to help you. My suggestion would be to go to smaller parks in the town center and ask some normal looking younger guys for help, or try some night clubs that have electronic or hip-hop program and ask somebody there and find some younger stoned people or just follow the smell.
Marijuana Prices
A few years back u could get a bag (50g) of homgrown for 50euros but now the situation has changed.You can only get some supergrass( i hate this) for 5 to 7 euros per gram or some rally nasty skunk for 15 euros a gram.Best option is to buy 5 grams of skunk and the price should be around 400kn = 60euros.There are some sorts of hashis but very bad quality.
The prices are different depending on what you will find.
Homegrown is 250kn (30 euro) for 50g bag, that bag usually contains about 35-40g and mostly you will get crappy ganja. If you know somebody than you can find few sorts of skunk and there is lot of hash mostly from Morocco and the prices are from 40-110 euros for 10g.
Brands:
You can buy some great skunk from whit widow to new york diesel but the problem is that you don t have a choice .You will have to buy what your dealer has.
