Cultivation of hemp for agriculture and research in Turkey (Türkiye) is subject to authorisation.
The law does not set any THC limit for hemp cultivation, merely referring to “low THC varieties”. Flowers and leaves cannot be processed and must be disposed of immediately after harvesting.
The only type of medical cannabis product currently allowed on the market is an under-the-tongue spray. Recreational cannabis is illegal.
This report provides a detailed analysis of the regulatory framework in place in Turkey for cannabis, hemp, CBD and other non-intoxicating as well as intoxicating cannabinoids, covering all policy areas.
