Wondering if there is a country that allows my medical THC gummies
May 15, 2025
We are planning European travel next year. I take THC for pain ( severe arthritis) and joint replacements. Is there anywhere to travel that would allow my gummies?

Unless you have evidence of a prescription then no. Most likely will classed as you trying to bring drugs into the country illegally
If they’re medically prescribed to you then I think you have to fill out forms etc and you would be able to bring them into most countries.
When you go to Germany atm you can have medical cannabis by Telemedizin pretty cheaply and quickly. No prescription nothing you can have it delivered by taxi in 24h. Also oc hash and so on.
I say atm, bc, CDU does CDU stuff.
Even with prescription this might be difficult. Simply buy pharma weed in Germany. Its cheaper than buying on the street..
Not sure about but it all but you kinda can be on THC with a doctor notice in all of EU but the rules are very restrictive so almost impossible in most places. But kinda hard traveling with it and would take a lot of papers and permissions even to countries where it’s legal.
Don’t saying it’s impossible as it’s not but very close. Best bet would be to go to Amsterdam and buy there and don’t bring anything with you.
Bringing them in from abroad idk, but you could buy them in Amsterdam/other Dutch cities. Note that, hilariously, recreational weed is legal to consume but medical weed is technically not
It may be best to take something else for arthritis, for the trip.
A doctor could prescribe something stronger than over the counter medicine.
Probably best to contact your country’s embassy at your destination and ask them. They ought to know if you can and what paperwork you might have fill out.
The government are considering allowing this, but only from Shengen countries, not the USA.
It’s legal as a prescription drug in Germany, but you would need proof that you got it prescribed, as with other narcotics, including most stronger painkillers.
Do not travel with them. I do not understand how mostly Americans/Canadians travel with THC to nations where it is more than likely illegal. Please research the laws and rules of the country you are going to, or contact your embassy there. Europe is not collectively one country; each country has different laws.
“Europe” – fckn Doncaster or Barcelona?
Different countries exist within Europe, just as much as different states exist in the US.
Open a geography book, look on a country’s website, that’s all one can say unless you say which country you’re going to.
Traveling with THC gummies is a truly terrible idea. Don’t do this.
Well, not to step on anyone’s toes BUT
THC is of course illegal IF a product
contains more than 0.2%-0.3% (depending on the country). This regulation is in place so that
industrial hemp can be grown.
This has also been ruled for CBD products.
What that means for you is that
you most definitely can’t bring your gummies
with you as they certainly contain more
BUT you could easily order or buy some
10mg gummies. I know of a few french online
shops that sell veed gummies EU-wide
apparently without any trouble for either
consumer nor seller.
Sounds like you probably shouldn’t travel until your knee replacements are healed enough so you don’t need THC or strong opiates anymore. Both of these drugs are highly illegal in most European nations. Even when they aren’t, you can’t import them.
You can buy THC Gummies in France through mail order, it’s something to do with the loophole in the CBD laws, gummies that have 5 mg or less are considered legal. I forget the name of the company, but you could probably set it up to have some delivered when you get there.
Just bring proof of medication from your GP and it should be fine.
When in doubt, it’s best to get yourself informed at an official place that’s appropriate for where you live. Government or national travellers association or something like that.
One time my dad was on medication that counts as opium, but with the right documentation it wasn’t a problem at all.
For arthritis I would normally recommend naproxen (Aleve?) & paracetamol with dihydrocodeine (DHC Plus?). Especially when travelling, strong enough to give relief but not too strong as to damage yourself. Naproxen is prescription only in most countries, speak to chemist with your prescription bottle and they can advise about refill, products like paramol are available over the counter – over the counter medicines come in much smaller sizes in Europe, but prescription medication is much cheaper than in the USA (it’s that not being held hostage by insurance companies)
Assuming from context that you are quite possible from the States keep in mind airport security in the US is federal and weed is still not legal at the federal level. I don’t think you’re going to get cuffed for taking pot gummies out of SFO, but they could at least get confiscated. However you go about this I would anticipate needing to get THC over at your destination rather than bringing your own.
Legal <0.2% THC gummies are legal in Greece. You may need a perscription. I’d do some prep work if I were you – for example, it’s pretty easy (and generally cheap) to find a private GP in Athens and call to see whether/how you can use your perscription.
PS. If you ask chatgpt which countries in Europe allow medical THC (and then ask for cross-referencing) you may get a better idea.
Edit to add: don’t travel with them.
Far as I know Norway is rubbish when it comes to drug politics.
Haven’t touched the stuff in years so I don’t keep up with the politics, but one can dream it gets legalised.
