Compare this activity in other countries
This makes the rule page useful for comparison without creating a second data source.
Albania
Albania Customs states that the import, export or transit of narcotics, narcotic medicaments and psychotropic substances is prohibited. That makes bringing medical cannabis into Albania unsafe to treat as lawful on a general traveler basis.
Argentina
Argentina allows patients to request ANMAT authorization to import a cannabinoid or cannabis-derived product needed for treatment when it is not marketed in Argentina. Official guidance says the import route is tied to medical indication and the exception-access regime.
Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan Customs says narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, their precursors and tools intended for their use are prohibited from being brought into the country.
Belgium
Belgium requires travel documentation for narcotic and psychotropic medicines, and the FAMHP says only certain cannabis-based medicines or preparations are lawfully available. Bringing medical cannabis into Belgium therefore depends on the exact product and the required paperwork.
