Sudan's Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act 1994 prohibits the cultivation, possession and trafficking of cannabis, a ban in force since 1924. Viable cannabis seeds have no lawful commercial channel, and no exemption exists for low-THC hemp varieties. Despite prohibition, cannabis is widely cultivated illicitly, notably in South Darfur, and enforcement has been disrupted by the ongoing armed conflict.
