Legislative Background
St. Kitts and Nevis decriminalized possession of up to 15 grams for personal use in 2019 through amendments to the Drugs Act, reducing it to an administrative offense with fines rather than criminal charges. Medical cannabis access was introduced in parallel legislation, permitting regulated use for qualifying patients, while distribution and larger quantities remain prohibited.
