Tuvalu's Dangerous Drugs Act, originating in the colonial ordinance of 1948, prohibits Indian hemp, criminalising its importation, cultivation, sale and possession. The statute draws no distinction for low-THC hemp and no licensing system has ever been established, so viable seed of any cannabis variety has no legal channel. Offences can bring fines and imprisonment, and foreign nationals face deportation.
