Is Cannabis Legal in Northern Territory? 2026 Update

Current Status: Decriminalised (Small Amounts)

The Northern Territory has partially decriminalised cannabis. Adults found with up to 50g of cannabis plant material or 10g of resin, or two non-hydroponic plants may receive an infringement notice (fine of $200) rather than criminal charges. Medical cannabis is available through the TGA. Seeds may be purchased as adult novelty souvenirs.

Medical vs Recreational Cannabis in Northern Territory

Northern Territory has decriminalised cannabis possession for small amounts under its expiation notice system. This means small-quantity offences attract a fine rather than criminal charges. However, there is no regulated recreational sales framework and cultivation remains illegal. Medical cannabis is available through the TGA Special Access Scheme with a prescription from an authorised doctor.

Home Cultivation Rules

While Northern Territory has decriminalised possession of small amounts of cannabis, home cultivation remains illegal. The decriminalisation provisions apply to possession and personal use only — growing plants will result in criminal charges. Cannabis seeds may be purchased and possessed as adult novelty souvenirs and collector genetics.
