Cannabis in Bermuda is legal for medical use and decriminalized for recreational use. The Supreme Court of Bermuda ruled in favour of allowing the medical use of cannabis in November 2016. However, an importation limit of just 1 gram per year resulted in patients turning to the black market to purchase medicinal cannabis products. The limit was later increased although, individual patients must apply to import their own cannabis products. In 2017, Bermuda introduced the Decriminalization of Cannabis Amendment Act, which decriminalized simple possession of up to 7 grams of cannabis.
