Czech Republic Marijuana Laws

The production and possession (but not the consumption) of cannabis became a punishable crime in Czechoslovakia in the year 1938. The possession of cannabis (less than 15 grams) is not a crime and consumption of cannabis is not punishable ever since the year 1992.

Under a penal code revision that decriminalizes drug possession in the Czech Republic, possession of more than the following amounts of illicit drugs is a misdemeanor:

• Marijuana 15 grams (or five plants)
• Hashish 5 grams
• Ecstasy 4 tablets
• Amphetamine 2 grams
• Methamphetamine 2 grams
• Heroin 1.5 grams
• Coca 5 plants
• Cocaine 1 gram
• Magic mushrooms 40 pieces
• Peyote 5 plants
• LSD 5 tablets

The Czech Republic is one of the very few countries that have decriminalized drug possession, including the possession of cannabis. The country is a popular destination for cannabis smokers despite the fact that cannabis sale and plant remain illegal from the year 2010 onwards.
