Djibouti penalises the production, sale and possession of cannabis for any purpose, with offenders facing fines or up to five years' imprisonment. Local consumption is limited — khat is the dominant, legal stimulant — but the port is a recognised trans-shipment point, keeping enforcement focused on trafficking. No provisions on industrial hemp or seed certification could be verified, so agricultural hemp seed status is unclear while dealing in viable cannabis seed is treated as a drug offence.
