FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Liberia?
Recreational marijuana is illegal in Liberia. Cannabis is controlled under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act of 2014 (CDSA), administered by the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA), which replaced earlier provisions in the Public Health Law (Title 33) and the Penal Law of Liberia.
Is CBD legal in Liberia?
CBD is illegal in Liberia. The Controlled Drugs and Substances Act of 2014 treats all cannabis derivatives the same as cannabis flower; cannabidiol has not been removed from Schedule I.
Is hemp legal in Liberia?
Industrial hemp is illegal in Liberia. The Controlled Drugs and Substances Act of 2014 makes no distinction between low-THC and high-THC Cannabis sativa, and the Ministry of Agriculture has issued no licensing framework comparable to those in Ghana or Lesotho.
Can you travel to Liberia with cannabis or CBD?
Import and export of cannabis are prohibited. CBD imports are not authorized by LMHRA.

Liberia bans cannabis as a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act of 2014, and viable seeds are treated as controlled cannabis material with no collector exemption. The Controlled Drugs and Substances Act of 2023, signed by President Weah, made cultivation, manufacture and trafficking a non-bailable first-degree felony carrying 10 to 20 years in prison. There is no industrial hemp framework, so low-THC seed has no lawful import or planting channel either.
