Retail Sale

Commercial sales and clubs still prohibited

The 2026 reform does not create a commercial market: retail sales, dispensaries and cannabis social clubs remain prohibited. Club and pilot models were deferred in parliament. Low-THC (<1%) products are the only legal retail channel, through licensed specialty stores under the Psychomodulatory Substances Act (18+, lab-tested, no vending machines or pure online sales).
