Cannabis has been prohibited in Comoros since the 1978 fall of Ali Soilih, who had briefly legalized it (1975-1978); cultivation, sale and possession are illegal today, and US State Department guidance reports drug convictions carry mandatory minimum five-year sentences, with importation barred even with a prescription. The specific Comorian narcotics statute, whose drug provisions sit within public-health legislation, is not accessible in public legal databases, and no provision addressing viable cannabis seeds could be verified — seed statuses here are inferred from the blanket prohibition. No industrial hemp law, licensing scheme or THC threshold exists, so hemp seed is classed as unclear/unregulated rather than lawfully permitted.
