Cannabis in North Macedonia is legal for medical purposes, but illegal for recreational purposes.

Medical cannabis

Recreational use

On November 20 2020, the prime minister Zoran Zaev said the government is looking to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in the country's hospitality places and tourist hotspots, including Skopje and Ohrid.
