Russia allotment

AllotmentNo legal allotment — 0 g

The legal allotment for cannabis in Russia is zero grams. Because cannabis is classified as a Schedule I narcotic with no medical exception, it is prohibited from civilian circulation entirely.

  • The legal possession limit for personal use is zero grams.
  • No medical or recreational access is permitted for any individual.
  • Home cultivation is strictly prohibited and constitutes a criminal offense.

0 g — nothing legal to buy

Cannabis law in Russia

Prohibited

Cannabis is strictly prohibited in Russia for both recreational and medical use under Federal Law No. 3-FZ. There is no national medical cannabis programme, and the government does not recognize foreign medical prescriptions or certificates for cannabis-based treatments.

  • Cannabis, cannabis resin, and THC are classified as Schedule I controlled substances.
  • Possession, use, and cultivation are illegal and subject to administrative or criminal penalties.
  • There is no legal pathway for patients to obtain cannabis for medical purposes.
  • Foreign medical prescriptions for cannabis are not recognized by Russian authorities.
  • CBD products are effectively illegal as any detectable THC content is treated as a controlled substance.
Federal Law No. 3-FZ 'On Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances'
