FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Liechtenstein?
Recreational marijuana is illegal in Liechtenstein. Cannabis is controlled under the Betaubungsmittelgesetz (BetmG, LGBl 1989/093) and Verordnung uber die Betaubungsmittel und die psychotropen Stoffe, with enforcement by the Landespolizei Liechtenstein.
Is CBD legal in Liechtenstein?
CBD products are not authorised for general sale in Liechtenstein. While Switzerland permits CBD products containing less than 1.0% THC under Swissmedic guidance, Liechtenstein has not formally adopted the same regulatory carve-out, and the Amt fur Gesundheit treats CBD as a controlled cannabis derivative absent a Marktzulassung.
Is hemp legal in Liechtenstein?
Industrial hemp cultivation is not authorised in Liechtenstein. The Amt fur Umwelt and Amt fur Lebensmittelkontrolle und Veterinarwesen have no public hemp-variety registry, and the Principality does not participate in EU hemp programmes since it is not an EU member.
Can you travel to Liechtenstein with cannabis or CBD?
Cannabis import and export are prohibited under the BetmG and the Swiss-Liechtenstein customs union. CBD imports follow Swiss customs procedures under the customs union.

Cannabis and even industrial hemp are banned in Liechtenstein, so viable cannabis seeds of any kind are illegal.

Illegal
Liechtenstein's Law on Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances of 1983 (Betäubungsmittelgesetz) prohibits cannabis with more than 1% THC, and a 2005 decree banned hemp outright, including its use in animal feed. Unlike neighbouring Switzerland, there is no tolerance for low-THC cannabis cultivation, so viable seeds destined for any cannabis growing lack a lawful channel. No medical cannabis programme exists beyond approved medicines such as Sativex and Epidiolex.
