What is the legal THC limit in Denmark?

The 0.2 % rule for cannabis products

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

18+ topic. Since 1 July 2018, Danish rules on euphoriant substances allow cannabis-based products with no more than 0.2 % THC. Such products can be produced, sold and possessed without breaking the drug rules. Products above that limit are covered by the ban, and possession is punished with a fine or prison. The 0.2 % limit does not change the medicine rules, so a low-THC product can still be a medicine that needs approval.

Cannabis, CBD and puff bars

Why

  1. The limit is 0.2 % THC.
  2. It has applied since 1 July 2018.
  3. Above the limit the product is an illegal drug.

Details

Before 1 July 2018 Denmark banned possession of THC products for anything but medical or scientific use.

Tip

A product bought abroad may follow a different THC limit, so check the THC content on the label before you travel.

What may differ

The THC limit is set by executive order and can be changed.

Common misconception

Some think any product sold as hemp or CBD is automatically under the THC limit.

What actually happens

Only products with at most 0.2 % THC are outside the drug ban, whatever the label says.
