Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Guinea-Bissau?
Recreational marijuana is illegal in Guinea-Bissau. Law No. 5/2010 on the legal regime applicable to drug trafficking and consumption (Lei do Combate ao Trafico e Consumo de Estupefacientes) classifies cannabis (canabis sativa, indica, and resin) as a controlled narcotic and criminalises cultivation, possession, transport, and sale.
Is CBD legal in Guinea-Bissau?
CBD is illegal in Guinea-Bissau. Law No. 5/2010 treats all cannabis derivatives as controlled substances without a THC threshold that would exempt cannabidiol.

Industrial hemp is illegal in Guinea-Bissau. Law No. 5/2010 makes no distinction between low-THC industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) and other cannabis varieties; all cultivation requires authorisation that has not been granted.

Illegal
Decreto-Lei n.º 2-B/93 of 28 October 1993 punishes with 2 to 12 years' imprisonment anyone who without authorization cultivates, produces, offers, puts on sale, sells, distributes, buys, cedes (transfers gratuitously) or possesses plants or substances in Tables I-II (art. 3), and its Table I lists 'Cannabis e resina de cannabis' without the leaf-and-flowering-top limitation used in the Portuguese model, so whole-plant material including viable seed is captured. Article 5 separately criminalizes supplying materials known to be destined for illicit cultivation, and art. 20 penalizes even cultivation or acquisition for personal consumption. Seeds are not individually itemized in the annexed tables, but the cultivation and cession offences leave no lawful route for seed commerce or gifting, and no hemp distinction, THC threshold or licensing framework exists.
