Waytoodank,

I hail from the Island of Aphrodite - Cuz Cyprus has been trying to get into the EU for ages - even to the point for years making Cyprus/Europe tourists gifts when they were not in the EU - they have been trying to align their laws with ours - they were especially tough about it as they did not want their Famagusta issue to cloud their entry into the EU.

Unannounced, after many many years of being able to ride scooters without helmets, the Cypriot Police confiscated every scooter upon which the rider was not wearing a helmet - again in line with European law - and it upset the locals immensely.

So the same goes for drugs - and believe me, Cypriot Jail is tough. Not only do you get the pleasure of the local gorilla, but also in a cell in stifling heat with no air con, no showers, etc. If it was me, I'd rather go without weed and go for the cheap alcohol instead.

The Cypriot Police are also heavy on the night club front.

Despite all that, I do wish you an excellent time there - I wish I was going again.

Thanks for the reply Balarama67,

I understand where your getting at. Such a shame to know that many parts of the world still view cannabis as a threat/problem. I come from Toronto, Canada. In Canada I grow, and smoke in the most public places and everything is so relaxed. Although marijuana is still illegal in Canada, it's not looked down upon and it's use is quite tolerated. Here in Limassol, i've been adventuring the city for a while now and haven't ran into any people smoking weed, not even people around my age (20).
Is it because theres just a shortage of weed grown in cyprus because of the laws? Since it's a island i imagine theres a lot of smuggling of it here? I think i forgot how weed even smells after not smoking for a month haha!
What about on the turkish side of Cyprus? Are the laws as strict? I've known many Turkish people in Canada that say a lot of them use ganj.
Thanks for the heads up! Might as well go get hammered drunk then! haha!

i dont take my mj out there

but my mate does. he has his ways

i suggest you find yours

i myself am cypriot, so i can normally find what im looking for, though its not an easy task

[Balarama67]

v1aaa - I really am very pleased to make your acquaintance with a compatriot.

waytoodank - the Turkish/North side used to and still does I think close at about 5pm - if you get caught out there after time the only way back to South Cyprus/Limassol is via Turkey I am reliably informed although I have yet to hear of a first hand account of such a misfortune. I imagine you will find it's who you know on the Turkish side as I read recently in the last couple of months they have installed a new (Prime Minister) that that is pro-partition (north/south divide) and anti-western.

I think v1aaa's comments are particularly valid.

Happy Holidays!

[fonzee]

Thanks for all the information!
I guess I'll keep my stash to a very minimum. Probably to edibles only as I believe they would be much less likely to be caught.

Any word on booze around there? Should I be able to find some proper rum and beer around Paphos for a decent price or should I pack up in Lancara?

[Balarama67]

There are a number of edibles which are banned - different ones for different countries - don't put your stash in a banned edible!

Booze - simple. Drink as much as heroicly possible after the sun has gone down. Water at all other times, esp if hot. I exceeded my spirits allowance by double in my hand luggage and they were happy to wave it through with a big smile. That was before joining the EU and also with the economic worries today they may well charge excess fees as that is revenue for the govt. If poss ask the holiday reps what the score is.

Yes but this depends really where you are in Cyprus!

You can get really dirty weed for much more if you don't care but can get really nice weed for lower price. This really depends on the City/Location and the Person you ask!
