Cannabis in Mongolia

Use of cannabis in Mongolia

Cannabis is illegal in Mongolia. In 2008, most of the cannabis seized in Mongolia was grown locally, though some was produced in Russia.[1]

History

Cannabis may have been introduced to Mongolia by the Scythians, and historically was used for medical and shamanic purposes.[2]
