FAQ
Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Tunisia?
Cannabis is illegal for recreational and medical use in Tunisia, although the country significantly reformed its penalties in 2017.
Is CBD legal in Tunisia?
CBD has no specific legal status in Tunisia. Loi 52 of 1992 and the 2017 amendment treat cannabis derivatives as controlled substances without distinguishing between psychoactive THC and non-psychoactive cannabidiol.
Is hemp legal in Tunisia?
Industrial hemp is not legally distinguished from cannabis in Tunisia. Loi 52 of 1992 defines Cannabis sativa as a controlled plant without reference to THC concentration, so the 0.3 percent thresholds standard in the EU and United States have no Tunisian counterpart.
Can you travel to Tunisia with cannabis or CBD?
Cannabis import and export are prohibited. CBD imports are not permitted regardless of THC content.

Illegal
Law No. 92-52 of 1992 on narcotics ('Loi 52') criminalizes use, possession, sale and cultivation of cannabis, with sale carrying up to 10 years and production up to life; a 2017 amendment merely gave judges discretion over the one-year mandatory minimum for first-time use. Seed supply is treated as illegal under the Narcotics Act since cultivation and supply of cannabis are banned outright, and Tunisia recognizes no low-THC hemp category. Reform debate continued into late 2025 — the Justice Minister told parliament over 10,000 prisoners were held on drug offences — but no legalization or seed carve-out had passed as of mid-2026.
