Law Enforcement
A quiet smoke generally drew less attention. Some older residents were said to call police if they saw it.
Where to Buy Marijuana
The Grund was the nightlife district, though a lead there was hit or miss. A reggae spot known as the Jamaican Bar sometimes came up. Others mentioned the city-centre park or Hamilius near the post office and bus stops. Cameras around Hamilius made people move on. The Gare was a lead for some, and a place to avoid for others because of police and rip-offs.
Marijuana Prices
- About €50 for 5 g in one account.
- Another put 4–5 g at €25, or 4 g for €20 after bargaining.
- €20 was often the minimum deal unless somebody knew you.
Types of Marijuana
Dutch flower and hash, often associated with Maastricht or Amsterdam, along with good local homegrown and homemade hash.
More Information
Luxembourg’s size was part of the joke. With a population put at 430,000, the country was said to have led a 50-country alcohol ranking. The rough football-stadium calculation was 49 regular cannabis smokers in a crowd of 4,900. The old account described a multilingual country with a substantial foreign-born population, a high standard of living and the motto “We want to remain what we are.” A regional comparison guessed US$6 for a gram of weed or hash.
Wednesday was the nightlife night, with Friday and Saturday also in the running. Names included Scotts in the Grund, The Tube and Arts Café in the upper town, Prime Time, Marx in the Gare and Didgeridoo in Hollerich. The Casemates were described as a 17 km network of fortress tunnels. Festivities ranged from Carnival and Bonfire Day to Octave, the National Day celebrations on June 23, Schueberfouer in August and the Moselle wine festivals into November.
The older discussion described a 1996 policy change and further debate in 2001. NORML reported that small amounts often drew a warning even when the written penalties were stricter. The rules for adult private use have since changed. See Marijuana Laws.
