FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Argentina?
Recreational marijuana is decriminalized for private personal use in Argentina, and medical access runs through a formal patient registry. The Supreme Court's 2009 Arriola ruling held that punishing private personal possession by an adult is unconstitutional, and Law 23.737 (the Narcotics Law) remains the operative statute.
Is CBD legal in Argentina?
CBD is legal in Argentina for medical patients through REPROCANN and via prescription, and the consumer wellness market has expanded under ANMAT oversight.
Is hemp legal in Argentina?
Industrial hemp is legal in Argentina under Law 27.669 (the Medical Cannabis and Industrial Hemp Industry Regulatory Framework Law) and its implementing Decree 405/2023.
Can you travel to Argentina with cannabis or CBD?
Recreational cannabis import and export are prohibited. CBD imports require ANMAT product registration and import authorization.

INASE Resolution 260/2022 legalised retail sale of cannabis seeds of varieties listed in the national cultivar registry through INASE-registered vendors, complementing Law 27.350 (medical) and Law 27.669 (industrial). The regime has been squeezed since 2024–2026: Health Resolution 1780/2025 tightened REPROCANN (nine flowering plants, three-year renewable registrations, stricter traceability), and Decree 462/2025 dissolved ARICCAME and INASE, transferring seed and industrial-cannabis functions to ANMAT and the Ministry of Economy, leaving medicinal variety registration in limbo. Possession or germination of seeds without REPROCANN authorisation remains punishable under drug Law 23.737. Gifting viable seeds between individuals is not expressly addressed and sits in a legal grey zone amid the regulatory overhaul.
