Belize

Cannabis laws in Belize follow Belize’s national law. For travelers, the jurisdiction’s law is the controlling standard—cities usually don’t define cannabis legality.

Recreational cannabis is illegal, though small personal possession on private property is decriminalized. Medical cannabis is not available. Penalties may apply for public use or larger quantities.

Practical guidance

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