Cannabis is fully prohibited in Greenland, with possession, cultivation and distribution punished under the Greenland Criminal Code and the Danish euphoriant substances rules as applied to the territory; cultivation can carry up to six years' imprisonment. In Denmark itself, non-germinated cannabis seeds fall outside the euphoriants schedules, and it could not be verified whether Greenlandic authorities treat viable seeds the same way, so seed sale, purchase and gifting are recorded here as unclear. Any germination or growing is unambiguously criminal, and no industrial hemp regime exists in the territory.
