Latvia

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

Recreational cannabis is illegal. Small amounts of possession are treated as an administrative offense with fines, while larger amounts can lead to criminal penalties. Medical cannabis is not available. 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.

Quick facts

• Recreational: Illegal
• Medical: Not available
• Possession: Small amounts decriminalized (fines); larger amounts criminal
• Buying/Selling: Illegal

Practical guidance

Avoid cross-border transport of cannabis products.

Do not assume informal tolerance equals legality.
