⚠️ Safety warning

Where cannabis is illegal — and risky

420.camp is legal-first: as well as showing where you can legally access cannabis, we flag where you absolutely should not. In the countries below, buying, carrying or even trace amounts can mean prison — or worse. When in doubt, don't.

Important

  • This list is not exhaustive — many other countries prohibit cannabis. If a country isn't on the 420.camp map as a legal-access location, assume it's not legal there.
  • Laws and enforcement change, and rules can differ by region. This is informational, not legal advice.
  • Never carry cannabis across an international border — that's trafficking almost everywhere, even between two places where it's legal.
  • CBD is not automatically safe abroad — several of these countries treat any THC (even a trace) as a serious offence.
