What the Global map shows

The Global Cannabis Laws Map is an interactive, colour-coded map of cannabis's legal status in 170+ countries. It ships with both a flat map and a true rotatable 3D globe — drag to spin, scroll or pinch to zoom. Tap or search any country to see its status, a plain-language summary, and links to official or authoritative sources. It is reviewed and updated every month.

  • Commercial / ExportingFully legal adult-use plus a licensed commercial or export industry.
  • Recreational LegalAdult-use possession and, in most cases, sales are legal.
  • Medical LegalA legal medical-cannabis program for registered patients.
  • Hemp / CBD / DecriminalizedLow-THC/CBD only, or possession decriminalized to a fine.
  • ProhibitedCannabis is illegal, with criminal penalties.
  • Extreme PenaltiesProhibition with severe penalties (long prison terms or worse).

How the data is sourced & verified

Country entries cite authoritative bodies where they exist — the EU Drugs Agency (EUDA) across Europe, Health Canada, Australia's TGA, Uruguay's IRCCA, and the U.S. NCSL/DEA — with the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) as a baseline reference so every country carries a credible source. Categories range from commercial exporters through medical-only programs to prohibition and extreme-penalty jurisdictions.

Deep-linking to a single country

Every country has its own shareable link. Add the country name after #, e.g. /pages/global-cannabis-laws-map#Niger opens straight to Niger. Our regional blog posts link here automatically.
