FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Dominica?
Recreational marijuana is decriminalized in Dominica for personal-use quantities.
Is CBD legal in Dominica?
CBD is illegal in Dominica for retail sale. The 2020 amendment to the Drugs (Prevention of Misuse) Act addressed personal-use cannabis but did not establish a CBD or hemp licensing framework, and the Ministry of Health and Wellness has not gazetted regulations recognizing low-THC hemp derivatives.
Is hemp legal in Dominica?
Industrial hemp is illegal in Dominica. While Act No. 8 of 2020 decriminalized small-quantity cannabis possession and home cultivation, it did not create a commercial hemp licensing scheme, and the Ministry of Agriculture has not issued cultivation regulations.
Can you travel to Dominica with cannabis or CBD?
Cross-border movement of cannabis remains prohibited regardless of the 28-gram domestic threshold. CBD imports require Chief Medical Officer authorization on a named-patient basis.

The Drugs (Prevention of Misuse) (Amendment) Act, No. 16 of 2020 removed criminal liability for adults possessing up to 28 grams of cannabis and allows the head of a household to cultivate up to three plants at the place of residence. Seeds acquired or shared for that limited home cultivation are tolerated within the amendment's scope, but any commercial sale or supply of viable cannabis seeds remains an offence under the principal Act. Dominica has no licensed retail market and no industrial hemp seed framework.
