CBD is illegal in Nauru. The Illicit Drugs Control Act 2004 controls cannabis-derived substances without a cannabidiol carve-out, and the Department of Health and Medical Services has not registered any cannabinoid medicine.
CBD oils, capsules, and topicals fall within the Act's cannabis schedule regardless of THC content. The Republic of Nauru Hospital does not stock cannabinoid products, and the country's medicines list, procured largely through Australian supply chains, excludes Epidyolex and other cannabis-derived prescriptions. Travelers arriving from Brisbane have had CBD products seized by Nauru Customs at Nauru International Airport.
