Vatican City criminalises narcotics offences under its own criminal law, historically derived from the Italian code of 1889 as amended, and it does not adopt Italy's medical cannabis or industrial hemp rules. The State has no commercial or agricultural framework for cannabis or hemp of any kind, and no seed-specific legislation could be identified after searching. Given the absence of published rules, seed status is recorded as unclear, although any drug-related activity would be prosecuted.
