The short answer
CBD is illegal in Angola. Lei 3/99 does not exempt cannabidiol, and ARMED (Angola's medicines regulator) has not authorised consumer or pharmaceutical CBD products. No low-THC threshold exemption exists.
Pharmacies in Luanda, Lobito, and Huambo do not stock CBD products. AGT customs at Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport seize personal-use CBD imports. Travelers should not rely on EU or Portuguese tolerance — Angola's legal regime remains strict.
