FAQ
Recreational marijuana is illegal in Niue. The Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 (Niue), which inherited and adapted New Zealand's pre-2006 framework, prohibits possession, cultivation, and supply of cannabis.
CBD is illegal in Niue. The Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 (Niue) does not exempt cannabidiol from cannabis controls, and the Department of Health has not authorized any cannabinoid medicine.
Industrial hemp is illegal in Niue. The Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 (Niue) controls Cannabis sativa L. without a low-THC carve-out, and no industrial hemp licensing scheme exists.
Import and export of cannabis are prohibited under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975. CBD imports are prohibited.
This is general information, not legal advice.
Niue's Misuse of Drugs Act 2007 prohibits the possession, supply, cultivation and importation of cannabis, following the New Zealand model under which cannabis seed is itself a controlled drug. There is no industrial hemp licensing regime on the island, so no lawful channel exists for viable seed of any Cannabis variety, low-THC or otherwise. Niue is not a party to the 1961 Single Convention but maintains full domestic prohibition.
