Regulatory report: Hungary, January 2022

CBD is not a controlled substance in Hungary, while the regulations depend on the intended use. Given the country’s tough stance on cannabis, it seems unlikely that it will move to decriminalise recreational use any time soon. There is also no indication that a medicinal cannabis programme will be introduced, even though many other countries in Europe have already made this step.

This report offers a thorough overview of Hungary’s regulations relating to all aspects of CBD and related products, providing analysis on extracts and finished products, import and export, and both medical and recreational cannabis.
