Recreational cannabis (THC-rich weed) is not legal

Possession of small amounts is usually dealt with by a fixed fine (often around €150–€200 if paid quickly), but it’s still an offense.
Growing weed (even for personal use) is strictly prohibited under French law and can carry heavy penalties.
Selling or distributing cannabis is a serious criminal offence.
So you cannot legally obtain recreational weed in Strasbourg through shops, dispensaries, or street markets under current French law.
💡 CBD products (non-psychoactive) are legal
Products made from hemp with very low THC (typically <0.2–0.3% THC), like CBD oils, edibles, cosmetics, etc., are legal and can be sold in shops.
However, even CBD flower (if smoked) may still be treated by police as regular cannabis in some cases, so exercise caution.
