Albania’s Marijuana Laws
First off the list is Albania. Lately Albania has been making the news as the drug trafficking capital of Europe, or the “Colombia of Europe”. It has also become the largest outdoor grown producer of cannabis in Europe. If you’re planning on visiting anytime soon however, don’t get your hopes up. Both recreational and medicinal cannabis is illegal in Albania.
Andorra’s Marijuana Laws
You’d be forgiven if you haven’t heard of Andorra as a non-European citizen. Situated between Spain and France, this tiny country of around 468km2 is right in the Pyrenees Mountains. Andorra is a large producer of tobacco, and is also a popular spot for people wanting to stock up on cigarettes due to its tax haven status. The country also allows smoking indoors in public spaces. But, what about the green stuff? Both medical and recreational cannabis is still illegal in Andorra. That’s now 2 of 2 countries giving a “no” to the question, is weed legal in Europe?
Austria’s Marijuana Laws
Austria, the country of great music, steep slopes and friendly people. Situated on the border of Eastern Europe (depending on who you ask), this country has a complicated approach to legal cannabis. Smoking cannabis in public is decriminalized, and both police and citizens are reportedly very relaxed about it. It is however illegal to be in possession of cannabis, including any buying or selling. Just to add to the confusion, it is legal to grow a cannabis plant provided it does not flower (e.g. produce weed). This law has allowed hemp to be used, sold and grown within the country.
Belarus’s Marijuana Laws
Thinking of doing an Eastern European road trip, and enjoy getting high? Well, it’d be smart to treat your time in Belarus as a “tolerance break”. Weed is definitely illegal here, and it doesn’t look like that will be changing any time soon. The government and police are not likely to let you off with a warning, even if you’re a tourist. Alcohol on the other hand is everywhere. Maybe if Belarus relaxed its cannabis laws a little bit, they would no longer hold the title of highest alcohol consumption per capita. That’s a big fat no for the question is weed legal in Europe. At least for this heavily policed country, anyway.

Same goes for some states here in the USA. Cannabis is illegal, but booze is a mans best friend! But being illegal has never stopped anybody from doing anything here, haha.
