How to transport medical marijuana abroad?

The holidays are in full swing, and many people are planning to relax outside Poland. Some patients wonder how to transport medical marijuana and whether it is legal at all. Transporting marijuana as a medicine is possible, but not always. Can I transport medical marijuana and does it require any formalities?

Transporting medical marijuana is a process that requires preparation, both formal and legal. First of all, it requires knowledge of the law in the country where you plan to relax and considerable advance notice.  

There are countries whose regulations do not allow the transport of medical marijuana, including: France, Egypt, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates and several others. The consequences may result in severe penalties, including imprisonment. However, you can safely transport medical marijuana to e.g. Germany, Italy, Croatia, the Czech Republic and others.

To obtain information whether you can apply to export medical marijuana to a specific travel destination, you can contact the embassy of the destination country in Poland or read the rules for transporting medicines outside the Republic of Poland on the website of the Chief Pharmaceutical Inspectorate .

Remember that it is equally important to respect local laws, e.g. permitted places to consume it .
