Burkina Faso's Code des drogues (1999) bans all plants and substances classified as narcotics under the international conventions (art. 6), which authorities apply to cannabis in every form. The law makes no distinction between recreational, medical or industrial cannabis, leaving no lawful basis for trading viable seeds. Cultivation, sale and possession are criminal offences punishable by imprisonment and fines.
