FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Cuba?
Recreational and medical marijuana are illegal in Cuba. The country runs one of the strictest drug control regimes in the Caribbean, and no decriminalization threshold exists for personal possession.
Is CBD legal in Cuba?
CBD is illegal in Cuba. The Penal Code and the public-health framework do not distinguish cannabidiol from other cannabis-derived substances, so hemp-derived oils, tinctures, and isolates all fall inside the prohibition.
Is hemp legal in Cuba?
Industrial hemp is illegal in Cuba. There is no licensed cultivation program, no fiber industry, and no registered seed catalog that distinguishes low-THC Cannabis sativa from drug-type cannabis.
Can you travel to Cuba with cannabis or CBD?
Cannabis import and export are prohibited. CBD imports are banned.

Cuba's Penal Code (Law No. 151 of 2022) treats drug production, trafficking and possession as serious crimes, with cultivation of significant quantities punishable by four to twenty years and no decriminalization threshold for personal amounts. There is no medical cannabis, hemp or seed licensing framework of any kind, so viable cannabis or hemp seed cannot be lawfully sold, acquired or gifted. In June 2025 the Supreme People's Court (Dictamen 476) further hardened prosecution standards for cannabinoid-related offences.
