Cannabis in Slovenia

While medical marijuana is not allowed, the use of certain cannabinoid drugs is permitted.

In 2012, a proposal was drafted to decriminalize medical cannabis,[1] but it failed to obtain the necessary support.

A new proposal was drafted in 2013,[2] which succeeded in gaining enough public support.

As a result, the Slovenian government re-classified cannabinoids as Class II illegal drugs (from the original Class I), thus allowing for the medical use of cannabinoid drugs but not medical marijuana.

[3][4] The possession of any drug for personal use in small quantities is not registered as a criminal act in Slovenia, but it is instead a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of €36 to €179.
