Marijuana Laws
As recorded December 15, 2025 · not verified as current law. Norway law
Cannabis laws in Stavanger 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.
