FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Singapore?
Recreational cannabis is illegal in Singapore and treated as a Class A controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1973 (MDA). Consumption alone carries up to ten years' imprisonment and a fine of up to 20,000 SGD.
Is CBD legal in Singapore?
CBD in Singapore is restricted and classified as a Class A controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act, regardless of THC content. Pure cannabidiol is listed in the First Schedule, meaning import, sale, or possession of CBD products without authorisation can carry penalties identical to cannabis offenses.
Is hemp legal in Singapore?
Hemp is illegal in Singapore and not legally distinguished from cannabis under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1973. All parts of the Cannabis plant, including stalks, seeds, and derivatives, fall within the statutory definition of "cannabis," administered by the Central Narcotics Bureau.
Can you travel to Singapore with cannabis or CBD?
Import and export of cannabis in any form is prohibited and may attract the death penalty for trafficking quantities above 500 grams. Import of CBD is prohibited without HSA authorisation.

The Misuse of Drugs Act 1973 lists cannabis as a Class A controlled drug and criminalizes possession, import and trafficking of the plant in any form, with the Central Narcotics Bureau warning that products of the Cannabis sativa plant or its seeds fall within the Act even in trace amounts. Trafficking, importing or exporting more than 500 grams of cannabis carries the mandatory death penalty. Singapore has no hemp cultivation framework, so viable hemp seed is treated no differently from marijuana seed, and the CNB actively pursues importers and retailers.
