Buying weed in Medellín is not legal: there are no recreational dispensaries, and cannabis sales remain illegal throughout Colombia regardless of nationality. Possession of up to 20 grams has been constitutionally protected since 1994 under Colombia’s “dosis personal” framework, and the personal cultivation of up to 20 plants for personal use has legal support from a 2015 Supreme Court ruling. An informal gray market operates through expat and social networks, but no licensed recreational retail exists. Colombia does not currently have a confirmed national legal framework for recreational cannabis social clubs; adult-use regulation has been debated in Congress but not enacted.
