Slovakia: CBD and cannabis regulation, September 2023

While cannabis and THC are controlled substances in Slovakia, CBD, CBN and CBG are not, and CBD extracts are considered novel food. Hemp cultivation is permitted if grown under the EU support scheme or approved by the Ministry of Health, but extraction is only allowed from seeds and fibre.

This report offers an overview of the current regulatory framework in place in Slovakia, focusing on the regime around hemp and CBD – both extraction and in finished products, and import and export rules – as well as current rules surrounding medical and recreational cannabis.
