FAQ
Recreational marijuana is illegal in the Union of the Comoros. Law No. 95-012 of 24 June 1995 on the control of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, and precursors (Loi portant controle des stupefiants, substances psychotropes et precurseurs) classifies cannabis as a Table I narcotic.
CBD is illegal in the Comoros. Law No. 95-012 treats all cannabis derivatives as Table I narcotics without a THC threshold that would exempt cannabidiol.
Industrial hemp is illegal in the Comoros. Law No. 95-012 covers all cannabis varieties without distinguishing low-THC industrial hemp.
Import and export of recreational cannabis are prohibited. Import and export of CBD products are prohibited.
This is general information, not legal advice.
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.
