Is cannabis legal in Bermuda?

Legalization of Hemp Products in Bermuda 

In 2019, the Misuse of Drugs Act (“MDA”) was amended, so that Hemp with a THC content of not more than 1% would no longer be a controlled substance. This law applies to hemp, hemp products and CBD products that contain THC. 

(b) by inserting the following in its proper alphabetic place- 

“hemp” means the plant cannabis sativa, or any part thereof, with a THC content of not more than 1% or such other concentration as may be specified by the Minister by Order published in the Gazette; 

Therefore in Bermuda, hemp and hemp products (with total THC not exceeding 1%) are legal and CBD products (with total THC not exceeding 1%) are also lawful. 

Cannabis with a THC content exceeding 1% are not lawful and have been decriminalized. The Misuse of Drugs (Decriminalisation of Cannabis) Amendment Act 2017 came into effect on 20 December 2017. 

What the Misuse of Drugs (Decriminalisation of Cannabis) Amendment Act 2017 actually did, was to remove criminal offenses for the simple possession by any person of 7 grams or LESS of cannabis. The Misuse of Drugs (Decriminalisation of Cannabis) Amendment Act 2017 does NOT make it legal for a person to consume, cultivate, traffic or import cannabis in any quantity.
