FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Fiji?
Cannabis is illegal for both recreational and medical use in Fiji. The Illicit Drugs Control Act 2004, replacing earlier Dangerous Drugs Act provisions, classifies cannabis (locally known as marijuana, ganja, or bhang) as an illicit drug.
Is CBD legal in Fiji?
CBD has no separate carve-out in Fijian law. The Illicit Drugs Control Act 2004 controls cannabis without reference to cannabinoid composition, and the Medicinal Products Act 2015 administered by the Fiji Pharmacy Profession Board has not registered any CBD pharmaceutical.
Is hemp legal in Fiji?
Industrial hemp is not legally distinguished from cannabis in Fiji. The Illicit Drugs Control Act 2004 classifies all Cannabis sativa L. material as a controlled drug without a THC-percentage carve-out.
Can you travel to Fiji with cannabis or CBD?
Cannabis import and export are prohibited under the Illicit Drugs Control Act. CBD products are not approved for import.

The Illicit Drugs Control Act 2004 defines 'cultivate' to include planting, sowing and scattering seed of the cannabis plant, so dealing in viable marijuana seeds is prosecuted as an illicit-drug offence. The Illicit Drugs Control (Budget Amendment) Act 2022 (Act 41 of 2022) removed industrial hemp with THC not exceeding 1% from the illicit list, permitting its importation, possession, cultivation, sale and supply, but the Attorney-General confirmed growing requires a government licence and the Ministry of Agriculture's pilot remains embryonic. A 2024 Ministry of Trade feasibility study and 2025 Cabinet review of export-led medicinal cannabis have not yet changed the law on high-THC seeds.
