Albania

Cannabis laws in Albania follow Albania’s national law. Municipal rules rarely change cannabis legality; jurisdiction law is what matters for travelers.

Recreational cannabis is illegal. Medical cannabis is legal under regulated conditions. In practice, small amounts for personal possession are often treated as an administrative offense with fines rather than criminal charges.

Quick facts

• Recreational: Illegal (small amounts often fined)
• Medical: Available under regulation
• Possession: Small amounts may result in fines
• Buying/Selling: Illegal
• Tourists: Subject to same administrative or criminal risks

Practical guidance

Avoid cross-border transport of cannabis products. Do not assume informal tolerance equals legality.
