  prohibited

  UK FCDO (Cambodia safety and security): 'Possession, trafficking and manufacture of any illegal drugs are serious offences in Cambodia. This includes cannabis.' Zero tolerance; even very small amounts can bring arrest and a long jail sentence, up to life. Spain's MFA (updated 22 Jul 2026) adds that both trafficking and consumption of all drugs, 'incluido el cannabis', are banned with penalties 'de entre 10 años a cadena perpetua'. Japan MOFA lists narcotics among items prohibited from import and warns of life imprisonment. France's MFA states 10–20 years' prison and fines up to USD 10,000 for use, possession and trafficking. Airport scanning also covers transit passengers' baggage. CBD products are not specifically addressed by any source read, so CBD is not covered by this row.
