Leaving Malaysia with cannabis seeds
Many jurisdictions treat viable cannabis seeds as controlled cannabis material under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 framework. Even where domestic hemp cultivation is legal, cross-border seed export typically requires origin-country export permit and destination import permit. CBD-strain seeds may face slightly lighter treatment.
Do not bring cannabis seeds to this country. Penalties may be severe.
