FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Monaco?
Cannabis is illegal for recreational and medical use in the Principality of Monaco. The Monegasque Penal Code and the Loi n. 890 du 1er juillet 1970 on narcotics and psychotropic substances, as amended, govern controlled-drug offences.
Is CBD legal in Monaco?
CBD occupies a gray zone in Monaco. There is no Monegasque statute that explicitly addresses cannabidiol.
Is hemp legal in Monaco?
Industrial hemp has no standalone legal framework in Monaco. The Principality's small geographic footprint and the customs union with France mean that hemp matters in practice align with French regulation, including the French decree of 30 December 2021 setting cultivation conditions for industrial hemp with a 0.3 percent THC ceiling for certified varieties.
Can you travel to Monaco with cannabis or CBD?
Cannabis import and export are prohibited. CBD imports follow the customs union with France.

Monaco prohibits cannabis under Loi n° 890 of 1 July 1970 on stupéfiants, with cannabis, its plant, resin and THC classed as narcotics by ministerial orders including Arrêté Ministériel n° 2020-360 (as amended in 2021 and 2024); even CBD products are treated as prohibited, and courts still prosecute small-quantity possession. Penalties run from six months to three years for personal possession up to five to twenty years for production, importation or trafficking. Arrêté Ministériel n° 2019-490 leaves a narrow paper exception for research and non-narcotic industrial varieties, but the city-state has no agriculture, no hemp licensing practice and no seed-specific rules, so viable seed dealing would fall under the general narcotics regime.
