Is CBD Legal in Greenland?

CBD is illegal in Greenland for general sale. Greenland follows the Danish Medicines Agency (Lægemiddelstyrelsen) classification, which treats CBD products as medicinal under the Medicines Act unless they carry zero THC and meet strict cosmetic or novel-food requirements that Greenlandic retailers have not pursued.

Imports of CBD oil, gummies, and tinctures via Pakke Post or Air Greenland cargo are routinely held at the Royal Mail customs facility in Nuuk. Travelers carrying CBD must hold a Danish import permit (indførselstilladelse) and a prescription; without these, products are confiscated and a fine is issued. The Naalakkersuisut Department of Health has not opened a domestic medical-cannabis pilot equivalent to Denmark's Forsogsordning, so prescription-grade CBD such as Epidyolex is not dispensed from Dronning Ingrids Hospital in Nuuk.
