Santorini Cannabis Laws
Confusing, to say the least- the cannabis laws in Santorini can get a little challenging to understand even for the locals.
Small amounts of cannabis for personal possession and use is decriminalized- although, the cops might still catch you and take you to court for it. What exactly constitutes this ‘small amount,’ no one knows.
Medical marijuana is legal now, which is an excellent step for the citizens.
Smoking cannabis remains illegal, so if you must do it, it is imperative to be very, very discreet about it.
Law Enforcement

You can, however, smoke within your own home.
