FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Haiti?
Cannabis is illegal for recreational and medical purposes in Haiti. The Decret du 7 aout 2001 sanctioning trafficking and illicit use of drugs governs cannabis alongside the older Loi du 7 septembre 1961 sur le controle et la repression du trafic illicite de drogues.
Is CBD legal in Haiti?
Haiti has no specific CBD regulation. Cannabidiol falls under the general cannabis prohibition of the Decret du 7 aout 2001, which does not distinguish between psychoactive and non-psychoactive cannabinoids.
Is hemp legal in Haiti?
Industrial hemp is not legally distinguished from cannabis in Haiti. The Decret du 7 aout 2001 treats Cannabis sativa as a single regulated species regardless of THC content, and no 0.3 percent or 1 percent hemp threshold exists in Haitian law.
Can you travel to Haiti with cannabis or CBD?
Cannabis import and export are prohibited. CBD imports are not permitted.

The Loi du 7 août 2001 relative au contrôle et à la répression du trafic illicite de la drogue schedules cannabis among prohibited substances, banning cultivation (Article 10) and production, trade, distribution, possession, offering, sale, acquisition, import and export (Article 9), with only narrow scientific/medical research exceptions. Offenses carry up to roughly 10 years' imprisonment, and supplying viable seeds would fall under the trade and cultivation-facilitation prohibitions even though the statute's tables do not single out seeds. Haiti has no industrial hemp framework, and despite a Medical Cannabis Task Force formed in 2018, no reform had advanced by mid-2026 amid the ongoing institutional crisis.
