FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Samoa?
Recreational marijuana is illegal in the Independent State of Samoa. Cannabis is a Class C narcotic under the Narcotics Act 1967 and is also controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act, administered by the Samoa Police Service Narcotics Unit and the Ministry of Customs and Revenue.
Is CBD legal in Samoa?
CBD is illegal in Samoa. The Narcotics Act 1967 controls cannabis without a cannabidiol exemption, and the Ministry of Health Pharmacy Section has not registered any CBD-containing medicine for prescription or retail sale.

Industrial hemp is illegal in Samoa. The Narcotics Act 1967 controls the entire Cannabis sativa L. plant without a low-THC carve-out, and no commercial hemp licensing scheme exists under the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries.

Illegal
Samoa's Narcotics Act 1967 makes it an offence under section 6 to cultivate a prohibited plant or to possess the seed of a prohibited plant, punishable by up to 14 years' imprisonment; non-wilful offences attract lesser fines or up to two years. Cannabis is classified as a Class B narcotic, and a licence granted by the Chief Executive Officer is the only statutory defence for seed possession. No hemp licensing has been implemented in practice, so low-THC seed remains equally prohibited.
