Need Good Weed In Algarve? Read Everything Below And Relax! You're in Good Hands! :)

I see you are starting to sweat a little, searching and scrolling on google how to find some good smoke for your holiday, but don't worry about finding good weed in the Algarve anymore! No need to panic! There is an easy solution and we are here to help.

"I am on holiday in the Algarve, I am a regular smoker and I am having a hard time finding some good weed, please help me"

This is actually a very common message that we get in our submission form from people who are daily weed smokers in their own home countries and normally smoke 2-3 joints a day.

These people, like you, are becoming increasingly worried because they don't know anyone in the Algarve and they don't want to spend the entire time chasing a proper smoke instead of just having good weed available, smoking it freely and having a great time on their holiday.

We are here to remove all of your worries and any potential chest pains and heartaches regarding the possibility of finding good weed while you are holidaying in the Algarve.

Before you buy a plane ticket to FARO, let us tell you all about the real weed situation in the Algarve in 2025

Before you book your flight and pack your bags, whether it is good weed or premium hash you are after for your holiday needs, it's crucial to first understand the laws surrounding cannabis in the Algarve.

Portugal has decriminalized the use and possession of small amounts of drugs, including cannabis, so personal use and possession of up to 25 grams is not considered a criminal offense.

Even though cannabis has been decriminalized, it is not common in Portugal at all, and it is a well known fact among regular visitors that high quality weed or premium hash are very hard to come by in the Algarve region.

The local population, especially in this region of the country prefers drinking wine and beer to get distracted from their everyday drama, and not so much smoking the good weed, so the availability of high quality cannabis products such as flowers and extracts is very low year round as there isn't much demand from the locals. It is mostly the tourists who are looking for some weed to smoke on their holiday and not the Portuguese people.

To sum it up, smoking weed is sadly not part of the local culture in the Algarve and most locals do not know much about it.

Despite the fact that cannabis is decriminalized in Portugal, we highly recommend that if you do choose to smoke it on your holiday in the Algarve, you do so in a discreet manner and stay respectful of local people and their own culture, only smoke in a private space such as your AirBnB or your hotel room balcony. Smoking in public places like the street or the beach is not recommended at all in order to avoid any potential trouble.

Avoiding the tourist traps AKA how NOT to get scammed while looking for good weed on your next Algarve holiday

One of the best ways to get scammed is to try to get lucky finding cannabis on the streets of the Algarve.

The opposite of the Nike slogan -

Just don't do it!

If you are a seasoned world traveler and smoker and you have been around the world, you will usually be able to find decent smoke by speaking to local people, but the situation in the Algarve is quite different from other places. People really don't know much about it for some reason.

Because this region is based mostly on seasonal tourism, people often times prefer to get the most out of tourists by duping them with fake products, or just taking their money and giving them absolutely nothing in return, it is the easiest way for them to make money without actually putting themselves in any risk. If someone sells you oregano on the street, the police cannot do anything to them, think about it!

Unfortunately we hear many such stories from people who come to the Algarve on their holiday and try their luck on the streets or on some dodgy online forum chats. All of these unlucky folks get sorely disappointed and lose their holiday money to people who have no business ethics and no morale values. These street scammers are just after making easy money by whispering to naive looking tourists who are only after a good smoke to have a great holiday. We are sure you do not appreciate this behavior so make sure that you do not support it by giving them your money.

Please, even if you think it is a good idea to do it, do not approach anyone on the street asking them if they can get you weed because they will take advantage of you in that situation and you will regret it like so many others who had to find out the hard way.

What are the so called "Cannabis Stores" in the Algarve and are they for real? (short answer is NO, THEY ARE FAKE)

On top of the street scams, you also have to avoid the very annoying tourist traps springing up all over the Algarve, in Faro, in Albufeira, in Portimão, in Lagos, pretty much everywhere you go in the Algarve, you will see these stores on the high street that advertise themselves as "Cannabis Stores", some of them feature the name "Amsterdam" while others simply show the weed leaf on their logo.

These so called "Cannabis stores" are simply lying to people. They do not sell any cannabis.

We are receiving a huge number of complaints from people that went into these stores and were sold some horrible FAKE cannabis products while being promised that these are in fact authentic THC products - they are NOT, so do not be fooled and don't waste your money.

In Portugal the sale of THC products in shops is strictly prohibited and only CBD products can legally be sold. CBD is becoming more and more widely available in all sorts of shops, but the quality of most CBD flowers is questionable. if you are a regular weed smoker then CBD flowers do not provide the much needed relief you are after, they only resemble cannabis buds in their shape and form, but even their smell is off and as we already said before they do not contain any THC so they don't really have much of a noticeable effect.

The thing that is the most worrying, the so called "Cannabis Stores" are lying to people, selling them synthetic cannabinoid products (made in a laboratory by people, not produced by nature) such as HHC, which is banned in many countries due to significant health risks that are not disclosed by these "Cannabis Stores". They sell these HHC products to people claiming they are THC products, this is ethically and morally wrong, so make sure you avoid it.
