The Cannabis Act, 2024 and Cannabis Regulations, 2024 legalize medical, scientific and religious cannabis and create cultivation, nursery and import licences that would cover seeds and seedlings sourced from lawful jurisdictions. Possession up to 30 grams is subject to a fixed $250 penalty rather than criminal prosecution. As of mid-2026 the Bahamas Cannabis Authority has not opened its licensing portal, so there is still no operating lawful channel to buy or sell viable seeds, and hemp-specific seed rules remain untested.
