CBD in Macau: not individually verified

Not individually verified

We have not confirmed that CBD specifically is scheduled in Macau, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.

What is on record: Not confirmed. The Macau 88 substance legal dossier of 2 October 2026 searched Law 17/2009 Tables I-A to VI, as amended through Law 12/2026, in force 18 August 2026, and established no specific matching table item for CBD. The dossier's reason: CBD is not the named delta-9-THC or delta-8-THC; botanical material needs its own facts. A row the dossier does not verify leaves the statutory assignment open and does not mean that use or supply is lawful.

Confirm directly with Macau’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
