Bahamas

Cannabis laws in Bahamas follow Bahamas’s national law. Local cities generally do not set separate marijuana rules, so penalties are determined at the jurisdiction level.

Recreational cannabis is illegal. Medical cannabis is permitted under a regulated licensing framework for approved uses. Possession or use without authorization can result in legal penalties.
