Overview

In Chișinău, Moldova, the legality of cannabis is quite strict. Both medical and recreational use of cannabis is currently illegal despite being widely used. The city has strict drug laws and does not differentiate between different types of drugs, including cannabis. However, small-scale personal use of marijuana has been decriminalized. This regulation usually relates to possessing under two grams of dried or 10 grams of fresh cannabis. At these quantities, cannabis use for recreational purposes is an administrative offense that does not come with criminal charges. The small-scale use or possession can result in a 60 MDL fine or 40 hours of community service.

In terms of related substances such as Delta 8, Delta 9, THCA, and CBD, the law in Moldova is equally strict. These substances are considered to be derivatives of cannabis and are therefore also illegal. There is no legal distinction between these substances and cannabis itself, and possession or use can lead to the same penalties. Despite this, there is a growing debate in the country about the potential benefits of these substances, particularly CBD, for medical use.
