Practical guidance
Avoid cross-border transport of cannabis products. Do not assume informal tolerance equals legality.
Legislative Background
Georgia's Constitutional Court ruled in 2018 that criminal penalties for personal cannabis consumption violate privacy rights, effectively decriminalizing private use. Possession of small amounts for personal purposes is not prosecuted as a criminal offense (though administrative fines may apply for public use), marking one of Europe's most liberal personal-use policies, while sales and larger quantities remain illegal.
