Cannabis in Setubal, Portugal - my story

Hi there, hustlers 🤝Welcome to my longread about weed in Setubal, done from my own experience plus some local stories.

As you all know cannabis regulations differ in different countries, so the point of this article is to cover marijuana laws in Setubal, attitude of police and local inhabitants, weed VS hash availability and price range, my own experience related to weed in Setubal.

Just wrapped up my vacation, spent a fantastic time in Setubal, and as a passionate cannabis enthusiast, I can't envision a vacation without enjoying a sativa joint during the day and some indica buds with a cold beer before bedtime. Below, you'll discover the insights I gained while on the hunt for top-notch recreational weed in Setubal.

Cannabis laws in Setubal, Portugal

You can probably guess that distribution of non-medical cannabis is strictly forbidden and regulated by laws of Portugal, so you can not purchase high THC weed in some official shops like you may do in the Netherlands for example.

On my very first day in Setubal I got acquainted with Jason who has lived here for 3 years already and who is also a regular cannabis smoker. He shared a joint with me and told some stories. As he told that despite non-medical weed being prohibited - cops are relaxed and calm in everything related to cannabis, with some rare exceptions.

What are the consequences of being caught with marijuana in Setubal ?

In reality, as Jason pointed out, if you're over 18 and possess fewer than 20 grams of cannabis or 10 grams of hashish and refrain from public consumption, you shouldn't anticipate any legal trouble. At most, law enforcement may seize your belongings once they confirm you're not involved in distribution.

Typically, law enforcement officers do not interfere with foreign tourists who are enjoying their vacation or conducting business trips in Setubal and contributing to the economy of Portugal.

Attitude of locals to cannabis in Setubal

Even though high THC cannabis is strictly regulated in Setubal - local inhabitants of Setubal are not against it at all. Young people and tourists are top target audiences for weed dealers. This does not mean you may walk and smoke joints on the streets, but also no one will be too surprised seeing someone smoking weed.

As Jason told - even local cops in Setubal sometimes use cannabis. So in general we may conclude that the atmosphere in Setubal is relaxed when we speak about cannabis. Just behave correctly and watch your back - and everything should be cool.

We were a little drunk already when Jason offered a joint of some noname sativa strain, of course I agreed. We were smoking not far from my hotel and it seems I saw other guys doing the same near another cornet 🙂So may say locals are not against weed, I saw this myself.

I liked the weed Jason shared, not the best one I’ve ever tried, but good enough. So I asked Jason to share contacts of his dealer, while he refused telling me his dealer works only with an old trusted set of clients. So I simply asked Jason if he could be my dealer during the nearest days - he agreed. I wish everyone to find his own Jason in Setubal🙂

How to get weed in Setubal?

I did not need a dealer in Setubal because I had Jason, anyway it was interesting for me how gears work in Setubalin relation to cannabis.

High-level wholesale Setubal dealers purchase weed and hash on the darknet websites. Usually these sites are about wholesale multi-kilo orders, but some also work with small amounts. So in fact this may be an option #1 for you - under the condition you know how to use darknet features of Tor browser and .onion sites + ready to wait 3-5 days for the delivery. If yes - you may find all the info about darknet websites on thehiddenwiki.com - darknet wikipedia.

But if you have a short trip to Setubal or vacation + need not too much weed and right now - only small local dealers may help you. Walking dark streets in a search for a strange-looking person who will sell you something that looks like weed for cash is still an option, but this is not the best way to spend time in Setubal and does not guarantee you any success. Today almost all dealers went online already, so they arrange the delivery of stuff after taking crypto instead of cash. They try to avoid meetings in person so you just select the approximate drop off point, and get a photo where exactly to take your stuff after the delivery. Stuff is usually masked and looks not suspicious (may be a pack of juice or cigarettes you just take and continue walking).

I was surprised, really. Looks like I am too oldschool already - thought cash rules the world. While nowadays you may anonymously exchange crypto to cash - so for all illegal payments this became option #1. So now the dealing process looks like this - you find some messenger contacts of a local dealer (ask google or local barman), contact him and choose what you want to order, pay in crypto and get your stuff delivered to some pre-selected place (that may be your hotel). Personal meetings are something dealers try to avoid - so weed is usually dropped at some approximate point you firstly discuss, and you get photo and GPS coordinates where to take your package after delivery.
