Cannabis law in Sweden
Limited accessSweden does not have a broad medical cannabis programme. Instead, patients may access unlicensed cannabis-based medicines through a strict, individual licence process administered by the Swedish Medical Products Agency (Läkemedelsverket) when all other therapeutic options have been exhausted.
- Access is restricted to individual licences granted by the Medical Products Agency.
- Only specialist physicians may apply for these licences on behalf of a patient.
- Cultivation and home growing of cannabis are strictly prohibited.
- Patients cannot obtain cannabis at dispensaries; approved products are dispensed through conventional pharmacies.
- Recreational use and possession of cannabis remain illegal.
