The short answer
CBD is effectively illegal in San Marino for recreational and wellness retail. Law No. 78/1994 controls cannabis-derived substances, and the Istituto per la Sicurezza Sociale (ISS), San Marino's health authority, regulates pharmaceuticals on a model that closely tracks Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) practice.
San Marino has not adopted a stand-alone CBD framework. While limited medical cannabis preparations have been discussed and small-scale therapeutic dispensing has been considered through the ISS Pharmacy Service, no general retail authorization for CBD oils, capsules, or wellness products exists. Travelers carrying CBD purchased in neighboring Italy or other EU states are subject to Sammarinese narcotics law upon entry. Penalties under the 1994 Act apply to unauthorized possession of cannabis-derived substances.
