FAQ
Recreational marijuana is illegal in Estonia. The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances and Precursors Act (Narkootiliste ja psuhhotroopsete ainete ning nende lahteainete seadus) classifies cannabis as a Schedule I narcotic, and possession of any amount triggers misdemeanor liability under Section 151.
CBD is legal in Estonia when extracted from EU-approved industrial hemp varieties and containing no more than 0.2% THC, a stricter limit than the 0.3% threshold used in some neighboring states.
Industrial hemp is legal in Estonia when grown from EU-certified seed varieties listed in the Common Catalogue with THC content at or below 0.2%. The Agricultural Board (Pollumajandus- ja Toiduamet, PTA) administers registrations, field sampling, and Common Agricultural Policy direct payments.
Import and export of marijuana are banned and treated as trafficking under Penal Code Section 184. CBD products move freely within the EU single market when compliant with the 0.2% THC limit.
This is general information, not legal advice.
Estonia's Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act does not classify cannabis seeds as a narcotic, so adults may buy, possess or give away ungerminated seeds as collectibles; the offence arises only upon cultivation, which is punishable under the Act and the Penal Code. Small-quantity possession of cannabis itself is a misdemeanour, but growing even one high-THC plant is treated criminally, so seeds must stay ungerminated. Agricultural hemp is fully lawful when grown from EU common-catalogue certified seed of varieties at or below 0.3% THC, with fields declared to the Agriculture Registers and Information Board (PRIA) and subject to official THC testing.
