What changed from 2026
The Czech Police's current cannabis and cannabis-products explainer says that from 2026, legal changes allow people older than 21 to cultivate and possess a limited amount of cannabis for their own use under precisely defined conditions. The same official page says unauthorized distribution of cannabis containing more than 1% THC remains unlawful. This is a limited personal-use change, not permission to sell or distribute.
What the source does not settle
The Police explainer points readers to Act No. 167/1998 and the Criminal Code for exact conditions, but the numerical limits and all exceptions are not reproduced here. It also does not provide a complete answer about medical prescribing, foreign visitors, driving, or border transport. Do not treat "over 21" alone as sufficient authorization.
Check before acting
