Multiple independent sources consistently report that production, sale and possession of cannabis are illegal in Equatorial Guinea with severe penalties, but no published narcotics statute, gazette text or law number could be located and verified after searching, and no seed-specific provision exists in any accessible source. Viable marijuana seeds, as propagative material for a banned plant with no exemption, are conservatively classified as illegal for sale, acquisition and gratuitous transfer. Low-THC hemp is not addressed by any locatable legislation and no licensing or certified-variety framework exists, so hemp seed status is unclear/unregulated in the strict sense, though authorities would likely treat it as cannabis.
