Cannabis in French Guiana is illegal, but is illicitly cultivated and transported.
Economy In the 1980s and 1990s it was reported that cannabis grown in Brazil was smuggled to Cayenne and French Guiana.
Usage A 2007 report noted that use of cannabis by youth in French Guiana was at 6%.
While mainland France has begun limited medical cannabis programmes under state-supervised trials, these are narrowly regulated and do not constitute broad legal access for most patients in French Guiana.
