FAQ
Recreational marijuana is illegal in Andorra. Cannabis sits under Llei 5/1995 on narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances and the Codi Penal d'Andorra, which classify cannabis as a controlled substance.
CBD occupies a restrictive grey zone in Andorra and is treated as illegal in practice. Llei 5/1995 does not distinguish cannabidiol from other cannabis derivatives, and the Servei Andorra de l'Atencio Sanitaria has not authorised any cannabinoid medicine for the domestic market.
Industrial hemp cultivation is not authorised in Andorra. The Ministeri d'Agricultura, Ramaderia i Medi Ambient has no licensing framework for Cannabis sativa L. cultivation, and Llei 5/1995 captures all cannabis plant material regardless of THC content.
Import and export of cannabis are prohibited under Llei 5/1995 and Andorran customs law. CBD imports and exports are not authorised.
This is general information, not legal advice.
Articles 282–284 of the Andorran Penal Code criminalise cannabis cultivation, possession and trafficking, with personal possession punishable by up to 12 months' imprisonment and a €1,200 fine. Seeds are not expressly listed in the code, but acquiring or supplying viable seed serves prohibited cultivation and falls within these offences in practice. Andorra has no hemp or CBD legislation, leaving low-THC seed status unregulated; a 2021 government study of medicinal cultivation has not produced legalisation.
