Cannabis in Trinidad and Tobago is illegal.

History[edit]

In 1915 Trinidad created the Ganja Ordinance, by which all cannabis sold on the island was gathered into bonded warehouses and distributed only to sellers who paid a license fee, similar to the system found in Bengal.[1]

Cannabis was banned in the islands in 1925.[2]
