Vagabond Cannabis, Marjanishvili, Tbilisi. Cannabis-friendly venue in Georgia. Consumption decriminalised 2018.
Marjanishvili's Transformation
Marjanishvili has undergone the most dramatic transformation of any Tbilisi neighbourhood in the post-Soviet era. From a relatively unremarkable residential and commercial district, it has become one of the city's hippest addresses, driven by young Georgian entrepreneurs returning from abroad and international visitors drawn by Tbilisi's growing reputation as an affordable, culturally vibrant destination. The cannabis scene has grown alongside this broader neighbourhood transformation.
Vagabond and Tbilisi's Expat Cannabis Community
Tbilisi has attracted a significant expat community in recent years, drawn by Georgia's flat tax system, one-year visa-free residency for most nationalities, extremely low cost of living and relaxed social culture. This expat community — heavily represented in tech, crypto and creative industries — has a strong cannabis cultural overlap, and Vagabond explicitly caters to this international as well as local Georgian demographic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to consume cannabis in this venue?
Cannabis consumption is decriminalised in Georgia since the 2018 Constitutional Court ruling. While sales technically remain in a grey area, venues operating openly in Tbilisi do so with minimal enforcement risk. Exercise normal discretion and respect venue rules.
Do I need a visa to visit Georgia?
Citizens of most countries can visit Georgia visa-free for up to 365 days, making it one of the most accessible countries in the world for international travellers. This open visa policy is a major driver of Tbilisi's growing popularity as a destination for digital nomads, cannabis tourists and cultural travellers.
