Weed in Frankfurt

Frankfurt, the largest city in central Germany, attracts millions of visitors each year. While it’s tempting to enjoy some cannabis while exploring, it’s important to understand the local laws. Marijuana is decriminalized in Frankfurt, so small amounts are less likely to lead to serious consequences. However, it ultimately depends on the discretion of the police officer. Here’s a quick guide to cannabis in Frankfurt to help you navigate the city responsibly.

Cannabis Laws in Frankfurt

Under Germany’s cannabis law, people 18 and above can lawfully carry up to 25 grammes of cannabis for personal use in Frankfurt. The previous statement that just 10 grammes is acceptable is no longer true.

Having the legal limit on a person does not in itself give grounds for arrest or prosecution. While some areas permit public consumption, there are regulations on where and when you can smoke. BMG

Cannabis cannot be smoked in the company of anybody under 18. It is also forbidden in schools, playgrounds, children’s and youth facilities and publicly accessible sports facilities and within sight of such facilities.

If a site is at least 100 metres from the entrance of a facility, then the law says it is outside the institution’s sight restriction. Cannabis usage is forbidden in pedestrian areas from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. BMG These principles apply even if you have a single joint. And if you smoke where it’s not allowed, you could get fined even for a little bit. If you’re lighting up outdoors, verify the time and location and steer clear of minors.

It’s better to know the consumption restrictions and the limit of possession than to hope for the police’s forbearance to avoid legal difficulties.

Where to Get Cannabis or Weed in Frankfurt: 

If you’re new to the city and haven’t made connections yet, exploring the streets is a practical way to find cannabis. Parks and public areas are common spots where people gather, smoke, and socialize, so keep an eye out. Younger locals, especially those with Middle Eastern roots, often have access to quality cannabis or hash.

If you’re having trouble finding a source, Konstablerwache could be an option. However, prices there are typically higher, and the quality might not be the best, particularly for tourists. It’s a good idea to explore other locations before resorting to Konstablerwache.

Cannabis Prices in Frankfurt: 

In Frankfurt, cannabis prices are similar to those in the rest of Germany but can vary based on where you buy it. On average, a gram of high-quality cannabis costs around 8 euros, while hash is cheaper, starting at about 5 euros per gram. At Konstablerwache, the price for lower-quality cannabis can reach around 12 euros per gram.

Although marijuana use is allowed in Frankfurt, it’s best to smoke in parks rather than crowded public areas. Parks are the ideal spots to find good quality cannabis. If you’re struggling to find weed, Konstablerwache is your last resort, but keep in mind the quality may not be great there. Articles are available on Weed in Cologne (Koln) and Weed in Hamburg.
