Is it legal to bring medical cannabis into a country in Bulgaria?
This rebuilt rule page keeps the answer, scope, and future source links in one obvious place, without pretending the row is fully researched before official sources are attached.
Quick answer
Legal position
Current starter summary
Bulgaria's customs guidance says foreign nationals may import medicines containing narcotic drugs under article 58 of the Drugs and Precursors Control Act, but only for treatment and with supporting documents. The same official guidance also says tetrahydrocannabinols are not allowed in medicinal products, so cannabis-based products need very careful verification before travel.
Conditions
What would need to be true
Carry the competent medical document and keep the quantity within the treatment limit stated by Bulgarian customs guidance.
Exceptions
Known carve-outs or edge cases
Products containing tetrahydrocannabinols are expressly flagged as not allowed in medicinal products in the cited customs guidance.
Penalties
Penalty snapshot
Non-compliant narcotic medicines can be refused at the border and may trigger customs or criminal-law consequences depending on the substance involved.
Enforcement
How this may be enforced
Bulgarian customs gives a narrow documentary route for some narcotic medicines but warns that THC-containing medicinal products are not allowed.

bring tobacco over the allowance
Bulgaria's customs guidance treats passenger tobacco as excise goods carried in personal luggage and tied to personal-use limits. Tobacco over the allowance or outside the passenger framework should not be treated as freely admissible.
bringing duty free goods
Bulgarian customs recognizes passenger treatment for excise and other non-commercial goods carried in personal luggage within the applicable traveler rules. Duty-free treatment is therefore available only inside those official limits.
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.
Austria
Austria allows travellers to enter with certain medicines for personal use, including controlled medicines, but the official health guidance imposes document and quantity limits.
Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan Customs says narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, their precursors and tools intended for their use are prohibited from being brought into the country.

Why the page is intentionally light
The new site should show a stable layout, a stable route, and clear source slots before the dataset is scaled up again. That keeps management simple and makes later official-source population safer.
