Cannabis laws in Germany

This means that depending on the situation, amount of weed on you and policeman that catches you there is a chance that you get into no trouble at all for having weed on you. That being said the police in Munich is notoriously strict and you might get a fine if you are caught with some weed on you or smoking. It is advised to not smoke at public places, especially close to the city center. Smoking weed at home is the best and safest option.

Getting weed in Munich
Because of the strict Bavarian police, finding weed in Munich can be harder than in other German cities, like Berlin. If you want to find street dealers the best place to look is probably the English Garden. It is a big park where in summer a lot of young people gather and even sunbathe. In the evening some people smoke weed and there are usually dealers as well. Usually, you will be able to spot a dealer looking fellow (usually black or Arab) between the metro station and the entrance to the park. Weed is a bit more expensive than usual, ranging from 10-15 euros a gram and can be more expensive for tourists. Always be careful not to get ripped off and watch out for cops.
