Greece Marijuana Laws
As recorded December 15, 2025 · not verified as current law.
Cannabis laws in Greece follow Greece’s national law. Legal status and penalties are set at the country/state level, not by the city.
Recreational cannabis is illegal, though possession of small amounts for personal use is decriminalized and typically results in administrative fines rather than criminal charges. Medical cannabis is available for qualifying patients. Some hemp-derived products may be sold under separate rules, but that does not mean marijuana is legal, and legality can depend on product content and labeling. Legal risk remains for any involvement.
Quick facts
- Recreational: Illegal
- Medical: Available for qualifying conditions
- Possession: Small amounts decriminalized (fines possible)
- Buying/Selling: Illegal
- Tourists: Same rules apply; caution advised
Practical guidance
Avoid cross-border transport of cannabis products. Do not assume informal tolerance equals legality.
Legislative Background
Greece decriminalized possession of small amounts for personal use in 2018, treating it as an administrative offense subject to fines rather than criminal charges. Medical cannabis was legalized in 2017, with regulated production and pharmacy access expanded in subsequent years for approved conditions.
