AMBER WARNING: Turkish Cannabis Law — Proceed with Caution

Cannabis is illegal in Turkey. Personal use of small amounts has been decriminalised in practice since 2006 under Article 191 of the Turkish Penal Code, meaning treatment is often offered rather than prosecution. However, enforcement varies by region and individual officer discretion. CBD and hemp products exist in a legal grey zone. Hemp cultivation is licensed in some regions. Do not rely on decriminalisation as a guarantee of safety. This guide focuses on hemp shops and CBD wellness retailers operating in Istanbul.
