Costa Rica is making significant progress in providing safe access to medical and therapeutic cannabis.
Thanks to Law 10113 and its official regulation (approved on February 12, 2025), patients will soon have legal, regulated access to cannabis-based treatments across the country.
The goal of this regulation is to ensure that patients can benefit from the therapeutic properties of cannabis safely and responsibly, with strict quality control and medical supervision. Under the new law, cannabis products will only be available with a doctor’s prescription and distributed through licensed pharmacies.
The types of cannabis products that will soon be available include:
- Dried cannabis flower
- Oils and extracts
- Edibles like gummies and cookies
- Cooking oils and other natural fats
These treatments are being introduced gradually, starting in early 2025, and doctors in Costa Rica are currently undergoing specialised training to prescribe them appropriately.
Key Highlights for Patients:
- Only certified, medically approved products will be allowed.
- Every step—from cultivation to sale—will be carefully regulated to ensure safety.
- A dedicated ethical and scientific committee will oversee clinical research and product development.
- The regulation aims to make access easier for those in need while protecting patient safety.
This is a significant step forward in expanding treatment options for chronic pain, anxiety, epilepsy, and many other conditions.
