Vlorë · Albania
Vlorë is a gateway to the Albanian Riviera and one of the country's most visited cities. Here's how Albanian cannabis law applies — and what enforcement looks like in this coastal tourist hub.

Albania's largest port city and main entry point for travelers. Cannabis remains strictly illegal — and Durrës, as a major transit hub, sees active customs and police enforcement.
Sarandë · Albania
Sarandë is Albania's gateway to the Albanian Riviera, minutes from Corfu by ferry. Cannabis is strictly illegal — and the Greek border crossing adds critical extra risk for visitors.
Alicante · Spain
Spain decriminalises personal use in private, but public possession carries real fines. Alicante's cannabis social clubs, expat scene, and beach enforcement are all covered in this guide.
Marbella · Spain
Spain decriminalises personal use in private, but public possession carries real fines. Marbella's luxury resort setting, Andalusian enforcement culture, and Puerto Banús nightlife scene all shape the risk environment for visitors.
Puerto Banús · Spain
No legal dispensaries exist in Puerto Banús. Cannabis social clubs operate in a grey zone — here's what that means for tourists at the marina.
Málaga · Spain
Málaga is the Costa del Sol's gateway city and airport hub. Cannabis is decriminalised in private but public possession carries real fines — and airport transport is criminal, not administrative.

Bangkok & Pattaya · Thailand
Thailand decriminalised cannabis in 2022 — dispensaries operate legally across Bangkok and Pattaya. But public smoking is banned and the export rules are among the harshest in Asia. What tourists need to know in 2026.
Phuket · Thailand
Licensed dispensaries line Patong's Bangla Road — but smoking on the beach is illegal and the airport rules are absolute. Full guide to cannabis in Phuket for 2026.
Chiang Mai · Thailand
Chiang Mai is Thailand's digital nomad capital and has a mature dispensary scene. But with 300+ Buddhist temples, the temple-zone restrictions are uniquely important here. 2026 guide for tourists and long-stay visitors.
Barcelona · Spain
Barcelona has Spain's most developed cannabis social club scene — and its most active enforcement against tourist-facing clubs. What visitors need to know about the gap between reputation and reality.
