Norway allotment
There is no fixed national allotment; the quantity is determined on a case-by-case basis by the Norwegian Medical Products Agency (DMP) upon application by a specialist. Patients may only obtain the specific amount approved for their individual treatment plan through authorized pharmacies.
- Quantity is determined individually by the DMP per application.
- Only patients with a specialist-approved 'special permit' qualify.
- Home growing is illegal; all medicine must be sourced through authorized pharmacy channels.
- Importing medicine for personal use requires specific documentation and is limited to defined durations (e.g., 7-30 days).

Cannabis law in Norway
Limited accessNorway does not have a general medical cannabis programme; instead, patients access treatment through a 'special permit, named patient' scheme. Specialists at hospitals must apply to the Norwegian Medical Products Agency (DMP) for individual approval to prescribe unregistered cannabis products, such as medical-grade cannabis flowers, when standard treatments have failed.
- Access is restricted to a 'special permit, named patient' route requiring specialist application.
- Only two cannabis-based medicines, Sativex and Epidyolex, have formal marketing authorization.
- Home growing is strictly prohibited regardless of medical condition.
- Patients must pay for most unregistered cannabis products privately as they are often not covered by the public health system.
- Possession of cannabis outside of this specific medical route remains illegal and subject to criminal penalties.

No licensed stores are on file for Norway yet — the directory is swept place by place, and the official list below is the one to trust.
Outside the United States a licensed store is set up by the national or provincial programme, so the official list below is the one to trust. The rules change at every border.
Always verify a store is licensed for Norway before you visit.
