Is CBD legal in Jordan?
- Legal status
- CBD (cannabidiol) is controlled as cannabis under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law No. 23 of 2016 — no distinction between CBD and cannabis and no THC threshold; recreational and medicinal use are both illegal for the public.
- Consequences if caught
- Personal possession carries about 1-3 years plus fines (JOD 1,000-3,000), and mail/import is intercepted; the death penalty for collaborating with international trafficking organisations leaves CBD-specific personal exposure to confirmation.
- If prescribed or medical
- There is no public CBD route; the JFDA regulates controlled medicines.
- Documentation
- No documentation legalises public CBD use — controlled as cannabis; the JFDA regulates controlled medicines.
