Is cannabis legal in Angola?

Cannabis is illegal in Angola.

Cannabis, grown locally and also sourced from South Africa and Namibia, is the most consumed and commercialised illicit drug in the country.

Recent reports of drug seizures and arrests have revealed that cocaine is often found with cannabis, suggesting that both are increasingly traded and trafficked through the same routes and networks.
