Is cannabis legal in Belgium?

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

Belgium has no legal recreational retail. The only standardized cannabis medicine is Sativex (nabiximols), available by prescription through pharmacies for specific conditions. Personal possession of a small amount is a low policing priority but not legal supply. Not a tourist channel.

How to buy: A specialist prescribes Sativex for an eligible condition; collect it at a pharmacy. There is no dispensary or club retail.

Pharmacies

THC: Legal medical access is essentially limited to nabiximols (Sativex).
