Is Weed Legal in Luxembourg?

Last reviewed: August 6, 2026

Recreational marijuana is decriminalized in Luxembourg under the Law of 19 July 2023 amending the Law of 19 February 1973 on the sale of substances having a poisonous or narcotic effect. Adults aged 18 and over may cultivate up to four cannabis plants per household for personal consumption and possess up to three grams in public without facing criminal prosecution.

Home-grown cannabis must be invisible from public view, and sale, advertising, and consumption in front of minors remain criminal. Public consumption is prohibited: police issue an on-the-spot fine of EUR 145, with fines of EUR 25 to EUR 500 possible if the case is referred to court. Possession, transport, or purchase of more than three grams remains a criminal offense punishable by up to six months' imprisonment and fines up to EUR 2,500, with sale and trafficking penalized far more severely under the 1973 law.

The Police Grand-Ducale and the Public Prosecutor's Office (Parquet) enforce, while the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Justice administer the policy. A regulated commercial market remains under study but has not been authorized.
