Chile

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

Recreational use is illegal, but private possession and personal cultivation are decriminalized. Medical cannabis is legal with prescription. Enforcement typically targets trafficking over personal use.
