Decriminalization and Possession Penalties
Since 2016, Austria has decriminalized cannabis possession, but fines are applicable, even for minor amounts. Possessing over 20 grams of THC can lead to a maximum of three years in prison.
Medical Marijuana Program
Austria’s medical cannabis program is in its early stages, permitting access to Sativex, Nabilone, and dronabinol. Eligible patients must have diagnoses like AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, or other nervous system diseases.
Penalties and Cannabis Trafficking
Possession of THC exceeding 20 grams may result in fines or a maximum six-month jail term. Carrying over 40 grams can lead to one year in prison.
Sales and trafficking are treated as serious offenses, carrying penalties from two to 20 years, depending on factors like quantity, prior convictions, and involvement in criminal activity.
CBD Use and Regulations
Austrians can buy CBD-infused hemp products with less than 0.3% THC, labeled as flavorings or raw materials, not medications or supplements.
Cannabis Laws in Austria: Current Landscape and Future Prospects
Purchasing Cannabis in Austria
Buying cannabis seeds is legal, but purchasing actual cannabis remains illegal. Cannabis seeds can be bought, sold, and sent via mail legally.
Prospects of Legalization
There are no immediate signs of full cannabis legalization in Austria. This absence impacts potential tax revenue and limits access to high-quality medical marijuana for patients in need.
