Still a crime, even between friends and even for free. Growing for someone else counts too.

New since 1 January 2026
Three zones: legal, misdemeanour, crime
Act No. 270/2025 changed the Czech Criminal Code. Adults aged 21 and over can now grow and keep a limited amount of cannabis for their own use. Above the limits, it becomes a misdemeanour, then a crime. Selling and any supply to others remain crimes.
Plants at home
Dried cannabis outside your home
Dried cannabis at home
- Legal from age 21, for your own use only.
- Misdemeanour: fine up to 50,000 CZK, and the plants or cannabis are taken.
- Crime: up to 6 months in prison, and much more for large amounts.
Anyone under 18
Giving cannabis to a minor is a serious crime.
Aged 18 to 20
The legal limits only apply from 21. Under 21, having or growing cannabis can still be punished.
Driving
From 2 ng/ml of THC in blood: a fine of 7,000 to 25,000 CZK and a 6 to 18-month driving ban. Higher levels can be a crime.
Smoking in public
Not legalised: smoking bans still apply at stops, on public transport, in restaurants and near playgrounds.
Medical cannabis
Legal on prescription since 2013.
No shops, no clubs, no legal market: every sale of cannabis is still a crime in the Czech Republic. The reform only covers growing your own.

Help and harm reduction

- Keep plants and cannabis out of sight and out of reach of children.
- Never drive after using.
- Avoid semi-synthetic products like HHC: their effects are unpredictable.
- Start low and go slow, especially with edibles.
