Marijuana Laws
As recorded December 15, 2025 · not verified as current law. Norway law
Cannabis laws in Trondheim follow Norway’s national law. Legal status and penalties are set at the country/state level, not by the city.
Under the law, cannabis is illegal for recreational purposes. In practice, possession of small amounts (up to 10 grams) for personal use is decriminalized and typically handled with fines or treatment referrals rather than criminal prosecution. Medical cannabis is permitted but access is highly restricted.
Quick facts
- Recreational: Illegal (decriminalized in practice for small amounts)
- Medical: Limited
- Possession: Decriminalized for small personal amounts; otherwise illegal
- Buying/Selling: Illegal
- Tourists: Subject to the same laws as residents
Practical guidance
Avoid cross-border transport of cannabis products. Do not assume informal tolerance equals legality.
Law Enforcement
You didn’t want to get caught. People warned about prison or a “big-ass fine” and thought keeping out of public view and away from dealing helped. The newer Marijuana Laws section describes a different approach to some small personal-use cases.
Where to Buy Marijuana
In Norway’s third-largest city, names that came up were the Torg, Buran, Lilleby Smelteverk and around Vår Frue Church. UFFA, the youth house, drew punks and anarchists. Hash was easier to find than flower.
“There’s no place where you can actually go up to a random person and buy marijuana in Trondheim.” For me it took a contact, or at least a conversation with somebody who smoked after a few drinks.
Marijuana Prices
Hash was 100 kroner a gram (about €12 then), 500 for five, 1,000 for ten, 3,500 for fifty and 6,000 for a hundred.
Pot could cost 50 kroner more per gram, about 150 kroner in another quote.
Types of Marijuana
Lots of hash, mostly Moroccan, with names people didn’t always know. Some was good. Weed was much harder to find.
More Information
One warning painted Buran as a place where robberies and stabbings happened almost every day. A local pushed back: Trondheim is a safe city and those incidents were few and far between. Stay polite, and watch for hash that smells bad and doesn’t get you stoned.
