FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Serbia?
Recreational marijuana is illegal in Serbia. The Law on Psychoactive Controlled Substances (Zakon o psihoaktivnim kontrolisanim supstancama) classifies cannabis as a Schedule I substance, and the Criminal Code (Krivicni zakonik) Articles 246 and 246a criminalize unauthorized production, sale, and possession.
Is CBD legal in Serbia?
CBD sits in a heavily restricted gray zone in Serbia. The Medicines and Medical Devices Agency of Serbia (ALIMS) treats cannabidiol products with therapeutic claims as unregistered medicines, requiring full marketing authorization that no CBD product has received.
Is hemp legal in Serbia?
Industrial hemp is legal in Serbia when cultivated from EU-certified seed varieties with THC content at or below 0.3%. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management, through the Plant Protection Administration, licenses growers, conducts plot inspections, and approves seed varieties.
Can you travel to Serbia with cannabis or CBD?
Import and export of marijuana are banned and treated as aggravated trafficking. Commercial CBD import is treated as pharmaceutical or narcotic depending on form.

Serbia's Law on Psychoactive Controlled Substances schedules cannabis as a narcotic, but viable seeds do not appear on the substance lists; foreign seed banks ship to Serbia on that basis, though no official Serbian confirmation of a collectible-seed exemption could be found. Growing psychoactive cannabis is a criminal offence carrying roughly six months to five years, and up to eight years in aggravated production cases. Hemp cultivation is allowed only for fibre, seed for animal feed, further propagation and related trade, with Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management authorisation and a 0.3% THC cap.
