Legal Status of Cannabis and CBD in Greece

Is cannabis legal in Greece?

Recreational cannabis remains illegal, though possession of small amounts may be decriminalized in some instances, subject to fines or mandatory rehabilitation.

Is CBD legal in Greece?
Yes. CBD derived from EU-approved hemp varieties with less than 0.2% THC is legal and can be sold as a wellness product, provided it meets food supplement or cosmetic regulations. Full-spectrum oils containing THC are only legal via prescription.

Can patients legally use cannabis for medical reasons?
Yes. Licensed physicians can prescribe medical cannabis oils and flower for approved conditions. Products must be sourced from authorized pharmacies or importers, including Organic Marijuana Greece and our certified distribution partners.

Who oversees cannabis laws in Greece?
The Hellenic Medicines Agency (EOF) regulates medical cannabis, in coordination with the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Development and Investments for licensing, quality control, and compliance.
