Does Slovenia have a medical program?

Yes, there is a medical program in Slovenia, however it’s not simple. Medicinal marijuana is not permitted, but drugs containing cannabinoids are.

The government reclassified cannabinoids from Class I illicit narcotics to Class II, allowing for their usage in medical situations.

Medical professionals can prescribe patients to use cannabis-based medications such as Marinol and Sativex.

 

What are the rules for medical use?

Physicians can write prescriptions for patients requiring cannabis-based medicinal products. Most of those who do so are receiving palliative care.

There are about 160 patients registered in a program that allows the use of dronabinol (Marinol). An estimated 30,000 individuals in the nation use CBD oil and related products for self-medication.

 

What are the qualifying medical conditions for eligibility?

There are no clear medical rules available.

What are the medical program limits?

Cannabinoids are now considered Class II prohibited narcotics by the Slovenian authorities. This meant that cannabis buds could not be used medicinally, but cannabinoids could.

Drugs containing cannabis, such as Marinol and Sativex, can be taken by patients with a prescription from a physician.

What methods of use are permitted under the medical program?

There are no clear medical rules available.

 

Is there home delivery for medical cannabis?

There are no clear medical rules available.

Is CBD legal in Slovenia?

Yes, CBD is legal in Slovenia. Products made from CBD that have less than 0.2% THC content are allowed to be sold as food supplements in Slovenia. This indicates that as long as the products fulfill the THC concentration limits, CBD oil, pills, and other items can be bought in Slovenia.

 

Is cannabis decriminalized in Slovenia?

Yes, cannabis is decriminalized in Slovenia. Small amounts of drug possession for personal use are not considered crimes in Slovenia; instead, they are misdemeanors, punishable by fines between €36 and €179. If the offender consents to receiving treatment, this can be decreased even more.

Although possessing the plant is decriminalized, growing and selling it is not. A person may spend one to fifteen years in prison if they are proven to “manufacture and traffic illicit drugs” or “facilitate the consumption of illicit drugs.” Offering narcotics to minors or for personal use carries a six-month to eight-year prison sentence.
