Шаблон:Short description Cannabis in Peru is not legal for recreational use,[1] possession for own consumption is also decriminalized by the Criminal Code and medical cannabis was legalized in 2017.

Enforcement

Possession of under 8 grams is considered personal use and it is not punished.[2][3][4][5]

Cultivation, production or sale is punished with 8 to 15 years in prison.[6][7]

Medical cannabis

In 2017, the administration of President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski announced a plan to legalize medical cannabis in Peru. The announcement followed a raid in Lima, in which police shut down an operation which produced cannabis medicines for 80 members whose children suffered from epilepsy and other ailments.[8] Later that year, by a vote of 68 to 5, Peru's congress legalized cannabis oil for medical use.[9]

In June 2021, Cannabis & Co. opened the first legal dispensary in Peru for the sale of medicinal marijuana[10] after obtaining signed consent (permits) from the following four Peruvian government entities:

  1. General Directorate of Medicines
  2. Supplies and Drugs (Digemid)
  3. Ministry of Health (Minsa)
  4. Anti-Drug Directorate of the National Police[11]

For the opening, Cannabis & Co. registered three Cannabis brands from three different countries; Futura Farms (Peru), Epifractan (Uruguay), and Cannabidiol Life (United States).[12]
