FAQ

Common questions

Is marijuana legal in Grenada?

Recreational marijuana is illegal in Grenada. The Drug Abuse (Prevention and Control) Act, Chapter 89 of the Laws of Grenada, classifies cannabis as a controlled drug, and possession, cultivation, and supply are criminal offenses prosecuted in the Magistrate's Court at St. George's.

Is CBD legal in Grenada?

CBD is illegal in Grenada outside narrow prescription channels. The Drug Abuse (Prevention and Control) Act and the Pharmacy Act do not distinguish CBD from cannabis, and the Ministry of Health, Wellness, Religious Affairs, and Social Security has not gazetted a regulation exempting low-THC hemp derivatives.

Is hemp legal in Grenada?

Industrial hemp is illegal in Grenada. Chapter 89 does not establish a THC threshold separating hemp from psychoactive cannabis, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, and Forestry has not issued cultivation licenses despite recommendations from the 2022 Cannabis Commission.

Can you travel to Grenada with cannabis or CBD?

Import and export of cannabis are prohibited. CBD imports require a controlled-substance permit from the Chief Medical Officer.

Seed Legality

2026 reforms decriminalise adult possession and Rastafari growing, but seed sales remain unlicensed and illegal.

The Drug Abuse (Prevention and Control) (Amendment) Act, 2026, assented by the Governor-General, decriminalises cannabis possession for adults aged 21 and over, expunges minor convictions, and affirms Rastafari sacramental use with cultivation allowances at registered places of worship. Outside those carve-outs, the principal Drug Abuse (Prevention and Control) Act still criminalises supply, so commercial sale of viable cannabis seeds has no licensing channel yet. A national framework for cultivation, processing and medicinal use is being developed, and industrial hemp seed rules have not been issued.
