Is THC legal in Latvia?

Situación formal

Latvia handles a first possession offence administratively, with a fine of 50 to 280 euros, but a repeat within a year is criminal, and the small-amount line is just one gram of dried cannabis. Growing is criminal from the first plant. There is no medical cannabis framework, cannabis sitting on the schedule that bars medical use. Latvia sets no THC threshold for finished products, so any amount is controlled.

No.

No, we do not ship to Latvia.

Latvia sets no permitted level of THC in finished products at all. Its medicines agency has stated plainly that the law fixes no minimum quantity from which control begins, so any amount is controlled, and that the 0.2% figure people often quote belongs to hemp growing in fields rather than to products on a shelf. Cannabis extracts and oils are separately prohibited in their own right.

Our Sleep formula uses a full-spectrum hemp extract containing THC as an incidental trace, comfortably below the thresholds other European countries set. Latvia has no threshold to be below. See our CBN page for Latvia for the fuller country picture.

Perspectivas

Latvia's zero-tolerance position on THC in products is long-standing and clearly stated by the medicines agency. It combines an ordinary EU cultivation threshold with a national rule that recognises no product-level tolerance at all, and we do not expect it to change.
