FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Romania?
Recreational marijuana is illegal in Romania, and medical access remains extremely narrow. Law No. 143/2000 on the Combating of Drug Trafficking and Illicit Drug Use classifies cannabis as a high-risk drug under Table II, with possession, cultivation, sale, and import all criminalized.
Is CBD legal in Romania?
CBD is legal in Romania when sourced from EU-approved industrial hemp and containing 0.2 percent THC or less.
Is hemp legal in Romania?
Industrial hemp is legal in Romania for licensed farmers. Law No. 339/2005 on the legal regime of plants, substances and narcotic and psychotropic preparations, together with EU agricultural rules, allows cultivation of Cannabis sativa varieties listed in the EU Common Catalogue with THC at or below 0.3 percent.
Can you travel to Romania with cannabis or CBD?

Law No. 143/2000 classifies cannabis as a high-risk drug and criminalizes unauthorized cultivation, sale and possession, while Law No. 339/2005 permits industrial hemp under state authorization. Growers must use EU-catalogue certified seed of varieties at or below 0.3% THC, obtain authorization involving the Ministry of Agriculture, and file field declarations with APIA subject to THC inspections. There is no lawful retail channel for viable marijuana seeds, and the gifting of viable seeds outside the licensed hemp system is not clearly addressed in statute.
