Norway

Cannabis laws in Norway follow Norway’s national law. Legal status and penalties are set at the country/state level, not by the city.

Under the law, cannabis is illegal for recreational purposes. In practice, possession of small amounts (up to 10 grams) for personal use is decriminalized and typically handled with fines or treatment referrals rather than criminal prosecution. Medical cannabis is permitted but access is highly restricted.

Quick facts

• Recreational: Illegal (decriminalized in practice for small amounts)

Practical guidance

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