Do Not Smoke Weed

Traveling to Sweden with a small amount of marijuana, even if you have proper documentation to prove it’s for medicinal purposes, is not a good idea. Sweden enforces some of the harshest laws in Europe against possession and supply of marijuana. The country strictly prohibits possession, sale, transport, and cultivation of cannabis, and there are only a few exceptions for medicinal marijuana. Swedish lawmakers and law enforcement officers do not distinguish between weed and stronger illegal drugs, and they consider hash just as dangerous as heroin. The sentence for violations related to marijuana ranges from six months in prison for minor offenses up to ten years for serious offenses. Because of the risks associated with possession and distribution of weed, you will have a hard time finding someone who sells the substance. Even if you do find someone who grows and sells it, expect the prices to be much higher compared to those sold in legal shops in the United States.
