FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Syria?
Recreational marijuana is illegal in the Syrian Arab Republic. Cannabis (hashish) is controlled under Legislative Decree No. 2 of 1993 on Narcotic Drugs and amending Law No. 33 of 2021, which the Syrian National Anti-Drug Committee continues to enforce.
Is CBD legal in Syria?
CBD is illegal in Syria. The 1993 narcotics decree does not distinguish cannabidiol from other cannabis-derived substances, and the Syrian Ministry of Health has registered no CBD pharmaceutical product.
Is hemp legal in Syria?
Industrial hemp is illegal in Syria. No low-THC exemption exists under Legislative Decree No. 2 of 1993, and the transitional government has not issued any hemp cultivation framework.
Can you travel to Syria with cannabis or CBD?

Illegal
Syria's Law No. 2 of 1993 on narcotic drugs prohibits the cultivation, manufacture, transport and sale of cannabis, authorising penalties up to life imprisonment or death for trafficking and manufacture and up to twenty years for other violations. The statute contains no exemption for hemp, seeds or any medical programme, so viable cannabis seed of any type is treated as narcotic plant material. Drug users may be diverted to state rehabilitation facilities in lieu of punishment, but that pathway does not legalise seed possession. Years of conflict have made enforcement uneven, yet the prohibition itself remains fully in force.
