Noumea - Smoke Report

[Medical Marijuana]

Noumea

Smoking tolerance level: 3.5

Legislation: Marijuana and Hashish and any related action (buying, selling, growing, smoking), are a criminal offence imposing a penalty of two months to one year in jail in addition to a fine of 56 EUR to 1680 EUR.

Law enforcement: There are very few police outside of the downtown area. The police are not interested in booking tourists for such petty things. Still suggest you keep your spliff out of site of the cops for obvious reasons but you should be just fine.

Where to buy marijuana: There are many clubs in the downtown area. It may help if you speak a little frnch as english is quite limited throughout this beautiful island group. Inside most clubs you will see young french guys and girls drinking and laughing away. Just buy a drink and feel free to ask around with your enquiries without problem. This is a very good start if you are looking for the green.

There are also the indigenous pople of this country who grow plenty of what we love . Under the indigenous laws, they are not allowed to sell or make profit from what grows naturally. Ask a 'villager' for ganja and they will tell you to come with them.. They will happily roll you a nice joint which you will share with them and whoever else is around and willing. You CANNOT buy dope from these guys do don't even ask. They happily will get you off your rocker, but you can't buy from them. You might be lucky (like me) and they will just hand you a couple of buddlies for your smoking pleasure in the comfort of your resort but this is unlikely.
Near the casino, there are a few seaside resorts. Ask one of the \'local\' hotel staff and they will do what they can for you.

Marijuana prices: If you score weed at one of the Downtown clubs from a young snobby french kid, expect to pay around 50USD for 3 grams of weed.


Marijuana brands: Local grown outdoor varieties. Not the best but not the worst either. Will more than do the job for you.
I have never seen hash there. Only dried outdoor buds. It would be rare for you to find hydro super skunk ect in these parts as the weed just grows so freely outdoors, no one seems to bother with the risk of growing indoors.


More information: Just be sensible and you will get your nice smoke.

BTW - Drinks are BLOODY expensive over there in nightclubs. I mean over the top ridiculous.
Be smart, buy your alcohol at the convenience store and drink up before you go out in the evening.
Seriously, how expensive are drinks there I hear you ask?
$20USD for a single shot of Jim Beam bourbon and coke.
