Some of the earliest evidence of the psychoactive use of cannabis have been found in Romania, including the archaeological sites of Frumușica and Gurbănești.[1]

Prohibition

In 1928, Romania established laws for countering narcotics, including hashish and its preparations.[2]

Medical cannabis

A limited medical cannabis law was passed in 2013, allowing for the use of low-THC (below 0.2%) derivatives of the plant only.[3][4][5][6]
