Cannabis in the American Samoa is fully illegal.
Possession of any amount can result in a five year sentence of imprisonment and a mandatory $5,000 fine.
[citation needed] The 2001 American Samoa Drug Threat Assessment produced by the National Drug Intelligence Center notes that marijuana is the most widely used illegal drug on the island, though at 25% for youth lifetime use, its prevalence is just over half that of mainland America's 47%.
[1] Marijuana grows wild on the island,[2] and is produced locally for local consumption, as well as smuggled in by ship from the nation of Samoa,[1] though otherwise there is little evidence of cross-national trafficking of marijuana in Oceania as most regional countries are self-sufficient in its supply.
