Marijuana Laws & Legislation for Subotica
As of February 2025, cannabis remains illegal in Serbia for both recreational and medical use. Possession of even small amounts can result in imprisonment of up to three years, while unauthorized production, processing, or sale can lead to sentences ranging from three to twelve years. Cultivation of hemp varieties containing more than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is prohibited, with penalties between two to eight years in prison.
However, industrial hemp cultivation is permitted under strict regulations. Hemp with THC content below 0.3% can be grown for purposes such as fiber production and seed cultivation for animal feed. Entities must obtain authorization from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Water Management to engage in hemp cultivation.
Regarding cannabidiol (CBD) products, Serbia does not impose specific restrictions, allowing the sale and use of CBD, provided the THC content remains below the legal threshold. Despite attempts in 2019 to classify CBD as a controlled substance, it remains unrestricted. The government maintains a firm stance against legalizing cannabis, even for medicinal purposes, making liberalization unlikely in the near future.
Advocacy for cannabis reform persists within the country, but the government continues to uphold stringent drug policies. Individuals found in possession of cannabis, regardless of intent, face significant legal consequences.
