Find out about the legal status of medical and recreational marijuana in Senegal. Is marijuana illegal? Better safe than sorry!

MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN SENEGAL

The production, sale and possession of any form of medicinal marijuana products are illegal in Senegal.

RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA IN SENEGAL

The cultivation, sale, and possession of cannabis for recreational purposes are illegal in Senegal.

Senegal is known for producing a fair amount of cannabis for local use and for export to its neighboring countries. But the government is actively burning cannabis fields while fighting rebels and any kind of cannabis related activity is highly illegal in Senegal and will be punished.

We are not aware of any possible law changes in the (near) future in Senegal regarding medical and/or recreational cannabis.
