How to read this table
- CBD status
- The legal position of CBD products in that country, as assessed from official sources. Open the country profile for the conditions that apply.
- THC limit
- The maximum THC content allowed in CBD products, where the regulation states one.
- Hemp
- Whether hemp can be grown and used, for example for industrial purposes.
- Medical cannabis
- Whether a medical cannabis programme or licensing framework exists.
- Recreational
- The position on recreational or private personal use.
- Cultivation licensing
- Whether licences to cultivate cannabis or hemp can be obtained.
- Last reviewed
- The date the profile was last checked against official sources. Laws can change faster than any reference site, so confirm current rules with the relevant authority.
