Does Estonia have a recreational use program?

Does Estonia have a medical program?

Yes. In 2005, Estonia made medical cannabis legal. However, Estonia does not yet have a medical cannabis program in place.

 

What are the rules for medical use?

Typically, a medical professional must write a prescription for cannabis; this is done on a case-by-case basis. It is illegal to possess cannabis without a prescription.

The kinds of cannabis derivatives that doctors can prescribe to patients in Estonia are restricted by recent legislation. These are frequently synthetic. With some exceptions, patients may use the plant-based version; nevertheless, government agency consent is needed specifically from the Ministry of Social Affairs and the State Agency of Medicines.

You don’t need to reapply after receiving the necessary approval because Estonia doesn’t issue MMJ cards.

 

What are the qualifying medical conditions for eligibility?

No particular medical conditions are listed under Estonian law, and the country’s medical cannabis program is still in its early stages. If a patient’s doctor believes that medical cannabis is the best course of treatment and that there aren’t any significant adverse effects, they may prescribe it.

What are the medical program limits?

Estonian medical cannabis is currently only available in synthetic form with low THC concentrations.

 

What methods of use are permitted under the medical program?

No clear medical rules yet.

Is there home delivery for medical cannabis?

No clear medical rules yet.

 

Is CBD legal in Estonia?

Yes, CBD is legal in Estonia. In Estonia, CBD is allowed as long as it comes from hemp. Since Estonia is part of the EU, it has to follow the 2020 decision of the EU Court that took CBD and its products off the list of drugs. CBD can officially be bought in Estonia by adults over the age of 18.

 

Is cannabis decriminalized in Estonia?

Yes, cannabis is decriminalized in Estonia. There are fines and probable detention if you are found in possession of more than 7.5 grams of dry cannabis. If less than that, there are no repercussions. Even after being decriminalized, marijuana use is still prohibited in public places. This is to be mindful of those in your immediate vicinity.
