CBD in Bahamas: not individually verified

What Bahamas HAS confirmed for related substances

These are related compounds, not CBD. Their status may or may not reflect CBD’s. Confirm CBD directly with Bahamas's national drug authority or your embassy.

• Cannabis / THCa related compound, not CBD

  Controlled under the Dangerous Drugs Act, Chapter 228, which reaches it by the words «Indian hemp» rather than by the word cannabis. Section 6 applies Part II to «raw opium, coca leaves, Indian hemp and resins obtained from Indian hemp and all preparations of which such resins form a base», and section 2 defines «Indian hemp» as «all parts of any plant of the genus cannabis whether growing or not from which the resin has not been extracted; the resin extracted from any part of such plant; and every compound, manufacture, salt derivative, mixture or preparation of such plant or resin». Section 11(1)(b) applies Part IV to «any extract or tincture of Indian hemp». Searched case insensitively across all three held instruments: the operative 1994 Application Order prints the word cannabis nowhere at all, count zero, because the Act already names the plant; the word appears twice in the Act and twice in the 2024 draft Order, which is not law.

• Delta-8-THCa related compound, not CBD

  Controlled, by chemical name rather than by the label delta 8. Substances in Schedule I of the Psychotropic Convention list in the 1994 Application Order prints the heading «tetrahydrocannabinol, the following isomers and their stereochemical variants» and then six chemical names with no trivial names at all. One of the six is «(6aR,10aR)-6a,7,10,10a-tetrahydro-6,6,9-trimethyl-3-pentyl-6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran-1-ol», which is delta 8 tetrahydrocannabinol; the identification is made here from the saturation pattern in that name and the string delta-8 occurs zero times in the operative instruments, appearing once only in the 2024 draft Order. Delta 9 is dealt with separately, in Schedule II of the same list as «delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and its stereochemical variants».

• Synthetic Cannabinoids (K2 / Spice)a related compound, not CBD

  Not listed in the Schedule to the Dangerous Drugs Act (Application) Order, 1994 (S.I. 77 of 1994) as those schedules stand after S.I. 50 of 1996, and not named in section 6 or section 11(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act, Chapter 228. Searched case insensitively across all three held instruments for synthetic cannabinoid, for cannabimimetic, for JWH and for the common core names: zero hits in the Act and zero in the operative 1994 Order. JWH occurs twice, only in the 2024 draft Order. This is an open chemical class rather than one molecule, so the search was run on the class terms and on the named series prefixes as well. The nearest entries read and rejected are the six tetrahydrocannabinol isomers in Substances in Schedule I of the Psychotropic Convention list and «delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol» in Schedule II. All seven are dibenzopyrans and none of the indole or indazole derived compounds this class denotes shares that skeleton, so no listed entry reaches them.
