Is cannabis legal in Brazil?

Medical only (prescription)✕ Tourists can buy✓ Locals w/ prescription

Brazil provides medical access via pharmacies/drugstores and, separately, personal import. You need a prescription; for import you also need Anvisa authorization. A local prescription or special import permit is required, so it is not a tourist channel.

How to buy: Get a prescription and buy at a pharmacy, or obtain Anvisa authorization for personal import.

Pharmacies

THC: 0.2% is a control-category boundary, not a max; higher-THC products possible under stricter procedure.
