Barbados

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

Recreational cannabis is illegal, though small personal possession is decriminalized. Medical cannabis is available under regulation. Legal risk may still exist for public consumption or larger amounts.

Quick facts

Practical guidance

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