FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Guinea?
Recreational marijuana is illegal in Guinea. Law L/2016/057/AN of 28 December 2016 on the control of drugs and psychotropic substances classifies cannabis (locally yamba or diamba) as a stupefiant.
Is CBD legal in Guinea?
CBD is illegal in Guinea. Law L/2016/057/AN treats cannabidiol derivatives as stupefiants without a THC threshold that exempts CBD products.
Is hemp legal in Guinea?
Industrial hemp is illegal in Guinea. Law L/2016/057/AN does not distinguish between psychoactive cannabis and low-THC hemp, and the Ministere de l'Agriculture et de l'Elevage has not registered hemp as a permitted crop.

Guinea's Penal Code (Law No. 2016/059/AN) punishes unauthorized cultivation, production, import/export, offer, sale, distribution, transport, purchase or possession of schedule I-II 'high-risk drugs' with 10-20 years' imprisonment (art. 819), and punishes ceding or offering drugs for personal consumption, even free of charge, with 5-10 years (arts. 820-821). Cannabis is treated as a high-risk drug with no THC threshold, so viable seeds — the means of criminal cultivation — have no lawful commercial, personal or gratuitous channel, though seeds are not expressly named in the verified articles. A predecessor narcotics law (cited elsewhere as L/97/037) could not be located in primary form. No industrial-hemp licensing or certified-variety regime exists, so low-THC hemp seed is captured by the same prohibition.
