FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Palestine?
Recreational marijuana is illegal across the Palestinian territories, but enforcement is jurisdictionally complex. In the West Bank, the Palestinian Authority applies the Anti-Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law No. 7 of 2013, which lists cannabis (hashish) and its resin as controlled substances.
Is CBD legal in Palestine?
CBD is illegal across the Palestinian territories. PA Law No. 7 of 2013 treats cannabis derivatives the same as cannabis flower; the Palestinian Pharmacy Department within the Ministry of Health has not registered any CBD product.
Is hemp legal in Palestine?
Industrial hemp is illegal in the Palestinian territories. PA Law No. 7 of 2013 does not distinguish low-THC Cannabis sativa from controlled cannabis, and the PA Ministry of Agriculture has not issued cultivation licenses.
Can you travel to Palestine with cannabis or CBD?
Import and export of cannabis are prohibited. CBD imports are not authorized by the PA Ministry of Health.

The Palestinian Authority's Law by Decree No. 18 of 2015 on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, approved by President Abbas and amended by Decree-Law No. 29 of 2020, criminalises the cultivation, production, sale and possession of cannabis. Trafficking and cultivation offences carry imprisonment of not less than ten years, fines of several thousand Jordanian dinars, and hard labour for life in the most serious cases. The decree provides no hemp, medical or seed exemption, so viable cannabis seed is prohibited material in both the West Bank and Gaza. Enforcement is carried out by PA anti-narcotics police alongside overlapping Israeli military law in parts of the West Bank.
