Common questions
Is marijuana legal in Ukraine?
Recreational marijuana is illegal in Ukraine, but medical cannabis became legal in 2024 under a wartime reform package aimed primarily at military veterans with PTSD. The Criminal Code (Article 309) and the Code on Administrative Offenses (Article 44) govern personal possession, while Article 305 covers trafficking.
Is CBD legal in Ukraine?
CBD is legal in Ukraine within EU-aligned limits. The State Service on Medicines and Drugs Control regulates pharmaceutical cannabidiol, while the Ministry of Health and the State Service on Food Safety and Consumer Protection oversee food supplements and cosmetics.
Is hemp legal in Ukraine?
Industrial hemp is legal in Ukraine and the country is one of Europe's significant hemp producers.
Can you travel to Ukraine with cannabis or CBD?
Recreational cannabis import and export are prohibited. CBD products meeting the 0.08 percent THC threshold may be imported as food supplements or cosmetics with standard registration.

Law No. 3528-IX (in force 16 August 2024) legalised medical cannabis and deregulated industrial hemp, and the Cabinet of Ministers subsequently approved a dedicated procedure for purchasing seeds of Table I plants for licensed medical cultivation. Seeds must carry a quality certificate and belong to varieties entered in the State Register of Plant Varieties Suitable for Distribution in Ukraine. Industrial hemp cultivation no longer requires a licence or quota — growers register declaratively with the Ministry of Agrarian Policy using certified seed of registered varieties (THC in dried straw capped at 0.2% until February 2027, then 0.3%). High-THC seed acquisition outside the licensed medical system remains prohibited, and there is no lawful retail seed market for individuals.
