"Marijuana, Haxixe, Cocaine?" You are bound to hear these words whilst walking around the streets of Barcelona by night. There is an increasing amount of North Africans who are taking their Masters degree in this area of business in Barcelona. And 90% of the guiris who decide to buy from them, will, without a shadow of doubt, get ripped off. Normal procedure goes something like this:
 
"Come with me", says "dealer". Guiri is suspicious but desperate for drugs. Guiri goes along. "Dealer" leads guiri into some dark alley and picks up dodgy package from seemingly hidden place. Guiri gives money, takes package. After 5 minutes of unwrapping a thousand layers of plastic and paper, guiri finds small rocks. Turns around, looks for "dealer". Nada. He is long gone. And so, another guiri bites the dust.

Where to Buy Marijuana in Barcelona: Ramblas
Plaça Reial

Barcelona Marijuana Prices:

Spanish outdoor is about six to 12% THC, usually overly dry domestic varieties. It costs $9-$20 US per gram. When buying Moroccan hashish, look for the dark, chocolate-coloured type. Ask the dealer to slice it and see if it has a dark, wet interior, which is a sign of potency. Also worthwhile, Moroccan golden double-zero hashish. Cost: $10-$25 US per gram.

The highly entertaining street life of Barcelona is best to be seen and experienced along the axis from Passeig de Gracia, via Plaça Catalunya, down to the old harbour, where Columbus on his pillar points the way to the Americas. The spending level of the public runs down the same way: the more expensive and sophisticated at Passeig de Gracia, the middle class around Cataluñya square, and finally the Ramblas avenue, cheaper but livelier at the feet of the discoverer’s statue. Halfway through the Ramblas, visitors can branch off to Plaça Reial and Carrer Escudillers, where nightlife includes the part of Barcelona’s soft drugs scene most readily available to foreigners. The sellers that used to be highly active under the porticos of Plaça Reial, recently have been obliged to become less visible and/or to disperse throughout surrounding streets. Plaça Reial is also famous for three entertainment establishments there: the Jamboree, for jazz lovers; Los Tarantos, with its “flamenco” shows; and Karma, a modern disco. Elsewhere in Barcelona, probably the most popular “up to day” disco is the Razzmatazz.

In general, knowledgeable sources say, it is the type of music that points the way to the soft drugs scene; with “techno”-sounds coming from discos charging an entry fee, usually being the surest guide. All over Spain, this type of music is called “bakalao”. For soft drug pills, the sources say, visitors could look around at gay discos. Barcelona residents are more in the habit of having a steady contact with a phone number through which a deal at a private address is arranged. Out on the streets, risks increase at night time. The City Police have had the good sense to appoint a seasoned officer of this “Guardia Urbana”, Mr Gerard Capdevila, as coordinator for cases involving foreign visitors either as victims of (petty) street crime, or as detainees; his 12-years experience so far always comes in very handy. He is usually to be found in the district of Ciutat Vella, the “old city”.
Police spokesmen warn tourists that the district where one could most easily run into trouble, is the so called Casc Antic (“ancient heart of the city”); specially in and around Plaça San Agustí Vell and Carrer Carders. Many decrepit houses in this district have been taken over by African immigrants with a tendency to making a living on rip-offs.
Barcelona has a solid reputation of tolerance for users who prudently keep out of trouble; but the authorities do try to crack down on sellers. The limiting difference is set by most Spanish courts at 80 grams. Even so, police agents will exercise their own judgment on the attitudes of persons they take a look at, when deciding whether to limit their action to a mere control, or to effect an arrest. Supposed users picked up with quantities between 50 and 80 -or slightly more- grams may simply have the stuff confiscated, and be advised they will be fined through administrative (non-judicial) procedures.
On the contrary, if the police consider the suspect to be really a seller, and the judges agree, stiff penalties are the rule. Current prison sentences range from 4 to 6 years for soft drugs sales; up to 7 and more years in cases where users/sellers had been found to introduce minors to the habit; and over 10 years for full-time traffickers.

A stickie for smoking, in Spanish, is a “porro para fumar”. A small amount for personal use is “una china”; and a not too big tablet of 100 grams or less is called (in Catalan, the regional language of Barcelona) “una barreta”. Marijuana keeps its own name, though younger people often abbreviate it to “Maria”, or use the equivalent of shit in Spanish: “mierda”. Because most of the stuff comes from Morocco, also the imported names of “grifa”, “kif” and “kosto” are normal in Spain.
