Does Singapore have a recreational use program?

No, Singapore does not have a recreational use program and cannabis is illegal for recreational purposes under Singapore law. Possession or consumption of cannabis can lead to severe penalties, including a maximum of 10 years in prison, a possible fine of up to $20,000, and caning. Trafficking, import, or export of more than 500 grams of cannabis may result in the death penalty. 

Does Singapore have a medical program?

No, Singapore does not have a medical use program. 

While medical cannabis is generally not permitted, there are very limited exceptions for the use of specific cannabinoid pharmaceuticals. These pharmaceuticals may be prescribed as a last resort when all other treatment options have been exhausted and must undergo rigorous scientific review and approval by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA).

As of 2021, only two individuals with treatment-resistant epilepsy have been granted permission to use the cannabinoid pharmaceutical Epidiolex. Thus, Singapore maintains a very restrictive stance on medical cannabis, allowing its use only under stringent conditions and on a case-by-case basis.

Is CBD legal in Singapore?

No, CBD is not legal in Singapore.

Cannabidiol (CBD) and Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are both cannabinoids found in the Cannabis Sativa plant, which is classified as a Class A controlled drug under the Singapore Misuse of Drugs Act (MDA). This means that any products derived from the Cannabis Sativa plant or its seeds, including those containing CBD, are illegal.

Singapore adopts a strict zero-tolerance policy towards controlled drugs, and the importation, trafficking, possession, and sale of products containing CBD are prohibited and carry severe penalties. The Central Narcotics Bureau enforces these regulations rigorously.

Is cannabis decriminalized in Singapore?

No, cannabis is not decriminalized in Singapore. In Singapore, marijuana possession or use carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence, a fine of up to $20,000, and caning.

The death penalty may be applied to more serious offenses like trafficking or importing more than 500 grams of marijuana, and decriminalization of cannabis is unlikely to occur in Singapore.
