Is THC legal in Slovenia?

A flag of Slovenia, next to the chemical structure of THC

Situación formal

Recreational cannabis remains fully controlled in Slovenia. Possession of a small personal amount is a minor offence carrying a fine, but growing even one plant is a crime punishable by imprisonment. A 2024 consultative referendum backed both medical and personal-use reform, and a medical cannabis act followed in August 2025, though patients still rely mainly on pharmacy-compounded preparations. For supplements there is no THC limit at all: cannabis extracts are scheduled outright, whatever the content.

No.

Our formula contains only the trace THC naturally present in a full-spectrum hemp extract, and every batch is third-party tested and published. In most of Europe that is the end of the question, because most countries set a threshold and we sit well below it.

Slovenia is different, and this is the clearest example in Europe of why a low number does not always settle the matter. Its drug schedule lists cannabis extracts as such, with no threshold and no exception, and its Supreme Court has confirmed the prohibition applies regardless of the form and quantity sold. There is no level of THC at which a cannabis extract falls outside that list.

The 0.3% figure sometimes quoted for Slovenia is a farming rule about which hemp varieties may be grown. It has nothing to say about an imported supplement.

See our CBD page for Slovenia for the fuller picture.

Perspectivas

The 2023 alignment of the cultivation threshold with the EU figure was a small liberalisation and there is no sign of it reversing. But it operates on the farm, not on the product, so it does not affect our position.

What would matter is the absence of any finished-product rule. Slovenia has never set one, which is why the June 2026 recall of a Slovenian CBD oil over its THC content had to be framed as a general health risk rather than as a breach of a numeric limit. If Slovenia ever did set a finished-product threshold, it would for the first time create a level at which a hemp extract was lawful - a significant change.

The more likely near-term development is the one described on our CBD page: a clarification of whether the extract entry reaches low-THC products at all.

Timeline

May 2012

Slovenia's Supreme Court, Sklep X Ips 17/2012, holds that trade in a substance listed under the Decree is prohibited regardless of the form or quantity involved, except where the law specifically provides otherwise. The judgment's own footnote cites I Ips 157/2008 and I Ips 158/2008 (27 November 2008) and I Ips 138/2006 (28 June 2007) for the same proposition - any cannabis listed in the decree is a prohibited drug regardless of THC content. Note: this is a procedural order rejecting revision as inadmissible, not a full judgment on the merits, and it was decided when cannabis sat in Skupina I.

November 2019

Uredba o razvrstitvi prepovedanih drog (Ur. l. RS 69/19), adopted 21 November 2019, published 22 November 2019 and in force 7 December 2019, places cannabis in Skupina II at entry 112: "KONOPLJA — Cannabis sativa L. — ekstrakti / rastlina / smola". The entry carries no THC threshold and no quantitative carve-out. Made under ZPPPD, whose article 7(2) permits Group II trade only for medical, veterinary, teaching and scientific-research purposes and whose article 10(1) requires ministerial authorisation. Amended through Ur. l. RS 157/20, 162/21, 8/23, 113/23, 50/25 and 92/25 without change to entry 112 beyond a footnote cross-referring to ZKMZN.

February 2020

The Higher Court in Maribor, Sodba II Kp 5584/2016, held in a cross-border online drug-sales case that which country a drug was delivered from and to is not decisive: the sale of a prohibited drug is already complete once buyer and seller agree on quantity and price, and the offence doesn't require that the goods ever actually reach the buyer. The court applied the territoriality principle and the ubiquity theory under KZ-1 article 19. On this reasoning, a foreign seller's exposure crystallises when the order is accepted, not when the parcel is dispatched.

November 2020

The Court of Justice of the European Union gives judgment in C-663/18 (Kanavape), holding that a Member State may not prohibit the marketing of CBD lawfully produced in another Member State where it is extracted from the Cannabis sativa plant in its entirety. Slovenia's Health Inspectorate records the judgment in its 2020 annual report as a landmark ruling, and its 2019 CBD inspection campaign does not resume in any subsequent reporting year.

August 2025

The Cannabis for Medical and Scientific Purposes Act (ZKMZN, Official Gazette RS 60/25), published 5 August 2025 and in force from 20 August 2025. Article 2(6) defines cannabis for medical purposes to include extracts from cannabis regardless of THC content, as well as other naturally occurring cannabinoids. Article 3(1) excludes the plant and its parts grown from catalogue varieties for food and industrial purposes, but not extracts. Article 2(16) redefines import to expressly include inbound movement from other EU member states, abandoning ZPPPD's customs-territory anchor. It repeals and amends nothing in ZPPPD.

June 2026

ZIRS orders a recall of "CBD kapljice, 1000 mg, 10%" (Agrosloven z.o.o., Golnik; distributed by Be Healthy d.o.o., Šenčur), triggered by a RASFF notification, on the ground that the THC present (292.5 mg/kg) in the food supplement may pose a risk to human health. Both producer and distributor are Slovenian-established. The objection was the THC content, not the CBD or the product's novel-food status - and a Slovenian producer had been openly selling a 10% CBD oral supplement until this point.
