Lithuania Medical Cannabis Legislation
Explore the medical cannabis landscape in Lithuania. Learn about the 2019 legal framework, licensing for manufacturing, and current patient access.
On 11 October 2018, Lithuania legalised the manufacturing, import, export and distribution of medical cannabis. The law came into effect on 1 May 2019, however, the industry has been slow to be implemented, with no patients receiving medical cannabis.
Under the framework, patients suffering from cancer, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and AIDS are technically able to receive medical cannabis treatment.
Additionally, companies can obtain licences for the manufacturing, wholesale, import & export and retail of medical cannabis products through the State Medicines Control Agency.
The cultivation of medical cannabis in Lithuania is not allowed.
