- Slovakia (an EU member with no death penalty) is unusually punitive for the EU on possession. Under the Criminal Code (Act No. 300/2005 Coll.), drug use in itself is not the offence — possession is; the thresholds are DOSE-MULTIPLES, not grams (cannabis is Schedule I under Act No. 139/1998 Coll.). Possession (Sec 171) draws up to 3 years for an amount up to three times a usual single dose, and up to 5 years for up to ten times a single dose; any amount above ten doses must be charged as trafficking under Sec 172. Trafficking (Sec 172) draws 3–10 years at base, 10–15 years for larger or aggravated cases, and up to 20–25 years in the gravest aggravated cases (the overall maximum is life); import or export is treated as aggravated trafficking. Since 2023, CBD-rich medical cannabis preparations are permitted, but recreational cannabis is fully criminal. These dose-multiple thresholds are not convertible to fixed grams. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

- Slovakia (an EU member with no death penalty) is unusually punitive for the EU on possession. Under the Criminal Code (Act No. 300/2005 Coll.), drug use in itself is not the offence — possession is; the thresholds are DOSE-MULTIPLES, not grams (cannabis is Schedule I under Act No. 139/1998 Coll.). Possession (Sec 171) draws up to 3 years for an amount up to three times a usual single dose, and up to 5 years for up to ten times a single dose; any amount above ten doses must be charged as trafficking under Sec 172. Trafficking (Sec 172) draws 3–10 years at base, 10–15 years for larger or aggravated cases, and up to 20–25 years in the gravest aggravated cases (the overall maximum is life); import or export is treated as aggravated trafficking. Since 2023, CBD-rich medical cannabis preparations are permitted, but recreational cannabis is fully criminal. These dose-multiple thresholds are not convertible to fixed grams. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

- Slovakia (an EU member with no death penalty) is unusually punitive for the EU on possession. Under the Criminal Code (Act No. 300/2005 Coll.), drug use in itself is not the offence — possession is; the thresholds are DOSE-MULTIPLES, not grams (cannabis is Schedule I under Act No. 139/1998 Coll.). Possession (Sec 171) draws up to 3 years for an amount up to three times a usual single dose, and up to 5 years for up to ten times a single dose; any amount above ten doses must be charged as trafficking under Sec 172. Trafficking (Sec 172) draws 3–10 years at base, 10–15 years for larger or aggravated cases, and up to 20–25 years in the gravest aggravated cases (the overall maximum is life); import or export is treated as aggravated trafficking. Since 2023, CBD-rich medical cannabis preparations are permitted, but recreational cannabis is fully criminal. These dose-multiple thresholds are not convertible to fixed grams. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

- Slovakia (an EU member with no death penalty) is unusually punitive for the EU on possession. Under the Criminal Code (Act No. 300/2005 Coll.), drug use in itself is not the offence — possession is; the thresholds are DOSE-MULTIPLES, not grams (cannabis is Schedule I under Act No. 139/1998 Coll.). Possession (Sec 171) draws up to 3 years for an amount up to three times a usual single dose, and up to 5 years for up to ten times a single dose; any amount above ten doses must be charged as trafficking under Sec 172. Trafficking (Sec 172) draws 3–10 years at base, 10–15 years for larger or aggravated cases, and up to 20–25 years in the gravest aggravated cases (the overall maximum is life); import or export is treated as aggravated trafficking. Since 2023, CBD-rich medical cannabis preparations are permitted, but recreational cannabis is fully criminal. These dose-multiple thresholds are not convertible to fixed grams. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

- Slovakia (an EU member with no death penalty) is unusually punitive for the EU on possession. Under the Criminal Code (Act No. 300/2005 Coll.), drug use in itself is not the offence — possession is; the thresholds are DOSE-MULTIPLES, not grams (cannabis is Schedule I under Act No. 139/1998 Coll.). Possession (Sec 171) draws up to 3 years for an amount up to three times a usual single dose, and up to 5 years for up to ten times a single dose; any amount above ten doses must be charged as trafficking under Sec 172. Trafficking (Sec 172) draws 3–10 years at base, 10–15 years for larger or aggravated cases, and up to 20–25 years in the gravest aggravated cases (the overall maximum is life); import or export is treated as aggravated trafficking. Since 2023, CBD-rich medical cannabis preparations are permitted, but recreational cannabis is fully criminal. These dose-multiple thresholds are not convertible to fixed grams. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

- Slovakia (an EU member with no death penalty) is unusually punitive for the EU on possession. Under the Criminal Code (Act No. 300/2005 Coll.), drug use in itself is not the offence — possession is; the thresholds are DOSE-MULTIPLES, not grams (cannabis is Schedule I under Act No. 139/1998 Coll.). Possession (Sec 171) draws up to 3 years for an amount up to three times a usual single dose, and up to 5 years for up to ten times a single dose; any amount above ten doses must be charged as trafficking under Sec 172. Trafficking (Sec 172) draws 3–10 years at base, 10–15 years for larger or aggravated cases, and up to 20–25 years in the gravest aggravated cases (the overall maximum is life); import or export is treated as aggravated trafficking. Since 2023, CBD-rich medical cannabis preparations are permitted, but recreational cannabis is fully criminal. These dose-multiple thresholds are not convertible to fixed grams. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

- Slovakia (an EU member with no death penalty) is unusually punitive for the EU on possession. Under the Criminal Code (Act No. 300/2005 Coll.), drug use in itself is not the offence — possession is; the thresholds are DOSE-MULTIPLES, not grams (cannabis is Schedule I under Act No. 139/1998 Coll.). Possession (Sec 171) draws up to 3 years for an amount up to three times a usual single dose, and up to 5 years for up to ten times a single dose; any amount above ten doses must be charged as trafficking under Sec 172. Trafficking (Sec 172) draws 3–10 years at base, 10–15 years for larger or aggravated cases, and up to 20–25 years in the gravest aggravated cases (the overall maximum is life); import or export is treated as aggravated trafficking. Since 2023, CBD-rich medical cannabis preparations are permitted, but recreational cannabis is fully criminal. These dose-multiple thresholds are not convertible to fixed grams. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
