Legislative Background
St. Lucia decriminalized possession of up to 30 grams in 2020 via amendments to the Drugs (Prevention of Misuse) Act, treating small personal amounts as a non-criminal offense subject to fines. Medical cannabis provisions were included in the same reforms, allowing limited access under regulatory oversight, though widespread availability remains restricted.
