FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Gibraltar?
Recreational marijuana is illegal in Gibraltar. The Drugs (Misuse) Act 1973, as amended, mirrors the United Kingdom's Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and classifies cannabis as a Class B drug.
Is CBD legal in Gibraltar?
CBD has no formal retail authorisation in Gibraltar. The Medicines Act 2014 and the Drugs (Misuse) Act 1973 frame cannabidiol oversight.
Is hemp legal in Gibraltar?
Industrial hemp cultivation is not established in Gibraltar. The territory's small land area of around 6.8 square kilometres and absence of significant agricultural sector mean that no domestic hemp licensing scheme has been put in place by HM Government of Gibraltar.
Can you travel to Gibraltar with cannabis or CBD?
Import and export of recreational cannabis are prohibited. Import and export of CBD require Medicines Authority authorisation.

Cannabis and cannabis resin are Class B controlled drugs under Schedule 5 Part II of Gibraltar's Crimes Act 2011 (successor to the Drugs (Misuse) Act 1973), with possession, supply and import/export prohibited under Part 21. No Gibraltar provision expressly dealing with viable seeds could be verified; although UK-derived definitions typically exclude seeds from 'cannabis', the seed's status in Gibraltar is rated unclear rather than assumed. Section 508 of the Crimes Act 2011 specifically prohibits cultivation of any plant of the genus Cannabis, so sowing any seed, including low-THC hemp, is an offence, and no agricultural hemp licensing exists. Medical exceptions are narrow, with the Medicinal Cannabis Act 2021 licensing commercial medicinal production only.
