Under the Narcotic Substances and Precursors Control Act, cultivation, possession, and sale of marijuana are illegal, but farmers can grow industrial hemp with a permit from the government.
Weed is the most commonly consumed illegal drug in Sofia; an estimated 10% of young adults have tried the plant. However, the country has strict drug laws that consider cannabis to have a “high degree of risk for the public health due to the harmful effect from its abuse”.

Possible Penalties:

Cannabis is considered a List 1, “high-risk drug” in Bulgaria. Possession of any amount is illegal, but small amounts (such as a single joint) are considered a minor offense and subject to a fine. Consuming weed in Sofia is an administrative offense, subject to a fine.
Possession of large amounts is a criminal offense that can incur one to six years in jail while trafficking cannabis means you can face two to eight years in jail. There is not a set quantity that determines a “large amount”- it is determined by the street value of however much cannabis you’re carrying.

Where and How to get weed in Sofia

Don’t expect to easily find weed when you visit Sofia. Although cannabis consumption is now usual for younger generation, it’s not as popular or prevalent as other vices like Vape, cigarettes and alcohol. The strict laws against cannabis mean you can face jail time for possessing even a few grams. But some people managed to score weed in Sofia. However you can ask a random dude that looks like a stoner, if they’ve got weed on them. They might try to inflate the price if they think you’re clueless so be aware of that.
Eur15/gram would be a great price for weed in Sofia. However it can sometimes go as high as Eur20/gram, depending on the grade.
That said, the strains you find in Sofia aren’t nearly as good as other strains that can be found in other countries because there aren’t any exotics. Hash is a lot more common than weed so you might have to settle for that.
