Cannabis is prohibited in the Republic of the Congo for all purposes, and there is no medical cannabis or industrial hemp programme. Publicly available texts do not detail seed-specific provisions, and observers note penalties vary with quantity and circumstances. Absent any licensing framework, selling or acquiring viable cannabis seeds must be assumed criminal, while agricultural low-THC hemp seed is effectively unaddressed in published law.

Key law:
Congolese narcotics legislation (cannabis prohibited; no published cannabis or hemp licensing framework)
