Where to Get Weed in Melbourne, Australia

Where to Get Weed in Melbourne:

Melbourne has it all for its visitors. From a performing arts complex and galleries to a host of plazas, bars and restaurants by the Yarra river at the city center. Getting your hands on some marijuana in Melbourne is fairly easy due to the tolerant laws. More-so, a good percentage of the young population enjoy cannabis in Melbourne, making it randomly available.

Cannabis in Melbourne- Laws:

Recreational cannabis possession and use is a criminal offence in Victoria, but similar to New South Wales, those caught with a first offence of 50 grams or less are typically given a caution fine and directions to attend drug counselling. (approx $AU200 =$US130). Same could be said for anyone growing one or two small plants. Anything more than this would be considered criminal and can attract heavy penalties such as large fines, suspended sentences and jail time (but rarely more than a period of 3-4 months for a relatively serious case eg. cultivation and trafficking of a pound to an adult).

As for Law Enforcement, the  police have taken to using sniffer dogs at public events and even on public transport in an effort to catch unwary smokers and dealers (mostly powder drugs I think) and it seems to be fairly effective, but your odds are still good. Other than that the Melbourne police are polite and professional if you treat them as such, corruption and bribery is relatively rare and if you play your cards right you may even land a sympathetic cop. Or judge.

Where to buy marijuana in Melbourne:

Marijuana is probably best sourced from pubs, bars and clubs. You are unlikely to actually find much pot there, but you will find contacts. Most dealing is done in homes across Melbourne, not in the bars, but it is abundant and you can be sure every street has its own dealer. But you need to meet/find a nice friendly local.

Melbourne Marijuana Prices:

Marijuana in Melbourne is generally not cheap. There are two main ranges for pot pricing in Melbourne, and that depends on whether the pot is the more common and expensive hydroponic variety, or the less common and cheaper outdoor or “bush” bud. The bush bud varies greatly in quality and strength, with prices as low as $100 ($US80) for 28grms/1ounce for the worst stuff, to $250 ($US180) per 28grms/1ounce for the best. The powerful “Hydro” tends to meet a basic minimum standard, and that standard is very high. Melbourne growers often buy seeds direct from Holland, so you can run into pure White Widow or the latest strains. Hydro ranges in price from $280-$350 per 28grms/1ounce.
