Poland — CBD Legal / Medical Cannabis Legal / THC Recreational Illegal
Warsaw has a growing and increasingly sophisticated CBD retail scene. Poland legalised medical cannabis in 2017, making it one of the earlier Central European countries to create a legal pathway for cannabis for therapeutic use. CBD products derived from hemp with less than 0.2% THC are legal in Poland and are widely available in specialist shops, pharmacies and health food stores across the capital.
The Polish CBD market is one of the larger in Central and Eastern Europe, reflecting a strong consumer interest in natural wellness products. Warsaw’s CBD shops are concentrated in the city centre, Mokotow, Praga and the Zoliborz district, with new shops continuing to open as the market matures.
Visitors should be aware that recreational THC cannabis remains illegal in Poland with relatively strict enforcement. Public possession can result in prosecution. All CBD shops listed here sell exclusively legal hemp-derived products compliant with Polish law. Medical cannabis is available in Poland through licensed pharmacies with a valid prescription from a licensed physician.
