Marijuana laws in American Samoa
Medical cannabis and recreational cannabis are both illegal in American Samoa.
- CBD is not legal: American Samoa takes a firm stance on cannabis products, including those containing cannabidiol (CBD). CBD is considered “marijuana” in the territory and is equally restricted.
- Penalties for possession: Possession of any amount of cannabis carries a mandatory $5,000 fine and up to five years in prison.
- No medical marijuana program: American Samoa has no medical marijuana program at this time, and cannabis is illegal for medical and recreational use. Therefore, it is not yet possible to qualify for a medical marijuana certificate in the territory.
However, Leafwell aims to be able to certify patients in all U.S. states and territories as soon as medical cannabis is legalized. Join our waitlist to be notified as soon as we can see you.
How to become a caregiver in American Samoa
Under most states’ medical cannabis laws, a caregiver can be assigned to assist with the purchase and administering of medical cannabis to minor patients or patients who otherwise may need assistance from others.
Most states have a minimum caregiver age requirement (typically 18 or 21). In many states, the caregiver must also have no criminal convictions relating to drug offenses or violent crimes.
