Smoking Bay Leaves should be illegal!
It's perfectly legal to smoke hash in Lisbon!
And unless you are carrying amounts that can be defined as a ‘trafficking’ it’s also OK to possess it!
As we blogged a few years ago: Don’t get frightened by the drug dealers. They are usually surrounded by Police guys that don’t care. And unless you want to make a complete fool of yourself – don’t buy their bay leaves 🙂
If you don’t know how to find the good Marijuana in Lisbon – and if you absolutely can’t live without it, go to Barcelona, Amsterdam or Copenhagen where it’s much easier to buy and much better.
One of the things that strikes all our friends arriving to Lisbon for the first time is the smell of hash we have everywhere…
And not only that – the first thing that happens to them when they walk around downtown are guys offering marijuana and cocaine.
Being a smoker myself for more than 40 years and after having lived at the ‘source’ in Nepal since 2009 I believe my knowledge about the substance is good enough to claim this: Never buy hash from these guys – it’s not even worth eating!
And of course – no matter where you are stay away from coke!

NB: Just in case you don’t know: Tings Lisbon is a non smoking hotel – including joints!!
