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.
