Is Romania chill with the herb? Get clued up before you hit up Romania, my dude.

Yo, what’s up? My name is Dan, and if you’re planning on heading to Romania and wondering about weed, I got you covered. Let’s take a look at the cannabis laws in Romania.

First things first, weed is illegal in Romania. Even medical use can land you in some deep trouble. So, keep reading for more info.

Romania is a dope country located in Central South-Eastern Europe with beautiful terrain from flatlands to impressive mountains, sea, and dense forests. But let’s talk about the weed culture in Romania.

Cannabis laws in Romania are pretty strict. Medical cannabis is technically legal, but only on paper. Recreational marijuana is also illegal. The Romanian Senate has taken a tough stance on marijuana with high penalties and prison sentences for drug use.

Marijuana has been in Romania since old times. People were using it for its psychoactive properties as far back as 7000 to 8000 B.C. Romania was even the largest producer of hemp in Europe until the early 1990s.

Weed possession, selling, and cultivation are all illegal in Romania. However, cops don’t usually care about personal use and tend to stay lenient. The law discriminates against marijuana for personal use or trafficking, with sentences ranging from three months to 17 years imprisonment.

Medical marijuana is only allowed if you have a prescription from a doctor and have a terminal disease like multiple sclerosis or seizures. CBD and its derivatives like oil, tinctures, and lotions are legal as long as they contain less than 0.2% THC.

Buying weed from strangers or clubs is not recommended in Romania. It’s better to get it from someone you know well to avoid getting into trouble.

In November 2019, the Romanian Senate proposed a draft law that would legalize medical marijuana use and distribution. The law would establish a Cannabis Agency under the Ministry of Health to regulate and manage the medicinal marijuana industry for cultivation, usage, production, and distribution as per European guidelines.

Smokable weed would not be allowed under this law, only oil-based medication, tinctures, and breathed-in prescriptions for terminally ill patients.

So there you have it, folks. Weed is still illegal in Romania except for some medical purposes. It’s better to stay away from it altogether if possible to avoid getting into trouble with the law. Keep an eye out for any changes in the future that could potentially make weed more accessible in Romania.
