Buying weed in Nicaragua is illegal. Cannabis is prohibited for recreational use under the 2008 Nicaraguan Penal Code, and Nicaragua has no legal medical cannabis access program for consumers or tourists. Possession under 5 grams carries fines and community service; above 20 grams risks 3 to 8 years in prison. Nicaragua is among the strictest cannabis destinations in Central America, with no legal dispensaries or consumer medical cannabis access.
