Mali criminalises the cultivation, possession and sale of cannabis under Law No. 01-078 of 18 July 2001 on the control of drugs and precursors. The statute contains no carve-out for industrial hemp or for viable seeds sold as collectors' items, so propagative cannabis seed has no legal trade channel. Prohibition traces back to French colonial-era controls and remains enforced, with the country sitting on a major trans-Saharan cannabis resin route.
