The short answer
CBD is illegal in the Solomon Islands. The Dangerous Drugs Act, Cap. 98, controls cannabis without a cannabidiol exemption, and the Ministry of Health and Medical Services pharmaceutical registry contains no approved CBD-containing medicine.
CBD oils, tinctures, gummies, and topicals are treated as prohibited cannabis derivatives regardless of THC content. Solomon Islands Customs at Honiara International Airport seizes CBD products carried by travelers from Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. Penalties under the Dangerous Drugs Act include fines and imprisonment.
