Niger prohibits cannabis as a high-risk narcotic under Ordinance No. 99-42 of 23 September 1999 on combating drugs, and viable seeds are treated as part of the banned plant. There is no industrial hemp or medical cannabis licensing regime, so no lawful channel exists to sell, buy or gift propagative seeds. Enforcement focuses heavily on Sahel trafficking routes, and possession can bring imprisonment and steep fines.
