Regulatory Overview
Portugal decriminalized drug possession under Law 30/2000 (up to a 10-day personal-use supply, with administrative sanctions). Medical cannabis was regulated in 2019 (Decree-Law 8/2019); INFARMED licenses cultivation, manufacturing, import/export and maintains lists of authorized operators. This pass did not locate an official INFARMED notice substantiating a 30%+ operator-status change or a new 2026 mandatory-reporting rule, so those claims are not treated as current law. CBD is classified as an unauthorized medicinal product.
