Cyprus — Medical Cannabis Legal (2019) / CBD Legal / Mediterranean Hub
Cyprus became a significant player in the European medical cannabis industry following its 2019 legalisation of medical cannabis cultivation and distribution. The island — strategically positioned at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa — has developed a regulated medical cannabis sector, with licensed producers growing cannabis for both domestic patient needs and export to EU medical markets.
Limassol, Cyprus’s second-largest city and its main commercial and financial hub, has seen growing activity in the medical cannabis and CBD wellness space. Patients with qualifying conditions including chronic pain, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and cancer may access medical cannabis products prescribed by licensed physicians through authorised pharmacies.
The CBD retail market in Limassol is well-established and aligns with EU product standards. Hemp-derived CBD oils, capsules, cosmetics and supplements with THC below 0.2% are freely available in health shops, pharmacies and wellness centres throughout the city. Limassol’s cosmopolitan character, international business community and Mediterranean lifestyle make it an increasingly attractive base for medical cannabis patients and CBD wellness consumers.

Cyprus legalised medical cannabis in 2019, establishing a regulated framework for the cultivation, processing, export and domestic supply of cannabis-based medicines. Patients with qualifying medical conditions can be prescribed cannabis products by authorised physicians and obtain them through licensed pharmacies. The programme covers conditions including chronic pain, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, epilepsy and cancer-related symptoms.
Recreational cannabis remains illegal in Cyprus. Possession, use, cultivation and supply of cannabis without medical authorisation constitutes a criminal offence. Cyprus does not operate a decriminalisation policy for personal use, and penalties for recreational cannabis offences can be significant.
CBD products with a THC content below 0.2% are legal in Cyprus and align with EU hemp product regulations. Visitors should only purchase CBD products from reputable retailers displaying appropriate product certification. Do not attempt to obtain medical cannabis without a valid Cypriot medical prescription.
Never cross international borders with cannabis. Check CBD clearance times before flying.
