FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Cannabis is illegal for recreational and medical use in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Law on Prevention and Suppression of the Abuse of Narcotic Drugs (Zakon o sprjecavanju i suzbijanju zloupotrebe opojnih droga, Official Gazette of BiH 8/06 with later amendments) places cannabis on the controlled-substances list.
Is CBD legal in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
CBD occupies an ambiguous position in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The 2006 narcotic-drugs law does not explicitly address cannabidiol, and the Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ALMBIH) has not registered any CBD-based pharmaceutical for general sale.
Is hemp legal in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Industrial hemp cultivation is permitted in Bosnia and Herzegovina under entity-level agriculture ministries with licensing through cantonal or municipal authorities.
Can you travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina with cannabis or CBD?
Cannabis import and export are prohibited. CBD imports require ALMBIH classification.

The state-level Law on Prevention and Suppression of the Abuse of Narcotic Drugs and entity criminal codes ban growing, buying or selling cannabis, but ungerminated seeds are not themselves scheduled and no seed-specific prohibition was verifiable, so seed commerce and possession operate in a tolerated gray zone while germination remains criminal. Industrial hemp may be grown only by entities authorized by the competent body, using varieties registered with that body and plants not exceeding 0.2% THC, with misdemeanour fines of BAM 5,000-100,000 for violations. On 29 December 2025 the Council of Ministers reclassified cannabis for medical use effective 1 January 2026, a strictly pharmaceutical model that does not authorize cultivation or seed sales to individuals.
