Can you bring cannabis or CBD to Kenya?

• Cannabis

  prohibited

  "Narcotic drugs" are listed as prohibited imports under the Second/Third Schedule of the East African Community Customs Management Act, 2004, as cited in KRA's own passenger-clearance guidance. Cannabis/marijuana is a controlled narcotic drug in Kenya (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Control) Act) and is not legal for recreational or medical use. CBD-specific treatment (e.g. a THC percentage threshold, as some other countries define) was not found on a primary Kenyan source in this research pass — treat any cannabis-derived product as prohibited until that is confirmed.
