Dublin is Ireland’s capital, famous for its pubs and rich history. While it has “strict” rules about cannabis, the city has a hidden cannabis culture mostly within private circles.
Irish Cannabis Laws
First things first, weed is still illegal in Ireland so keep that in mind. The police are pretty relaxed about it and if caught in possession you will only receive a warning. If you are from another country then this doesn’t matter to you as the Irish authorities will not alert your local authorities. Don’t be worried about undercover officers trying to sell you weed as they do not target low level drug users.
Local Spots
Dublin is a busy city and you wont have any problem finding weed during your stay here. While there are underground cannabis cafes in Dublin I don’t know of any that are currently active and advertising to new members however there are potheads all over the city who will help you out. Just head into the city center and ask one of the groups of lads chilling to help you out, if this fails you can always head over to the multiple university’s or ask a homeless person to point you in the right direction as long as you give them a nice tip.
Signal Encrypted Messaging App
There is a huge cannabis community on Signal, the secure messaging app that can be downloaded directly from the app store on to your phone. Longtime Irish vendor ‘Dublin420.21’ has moved over to Signal, their username is ‘Dublin420.21’.
You can download the app for free in the app store and message them for a menu.
Deep Web
The second best method is to order the weed you want off the deep web a few days before you arrive. Get it sent directly to your hotel and when you arrive you can go and pick it up from the front desk, don’t be worried about the hotel finding out because the stealth provided by the darknet vendors is excellent.
In 2025 the deep web is not what it used to be, alot of the sites have been taken down by the police in the last few years which has meant alot of the vendors have moved to encrypted messaging apps or there own personal dark net sites.
