Cannabis in Azerbaijan is illegal but is cultivated illicitly, and has a long history as a medical remedy in the nation.

History

Academic Farid Alakbarov has written on cannabis medicines found in medieval Azerbaijani texts, including treatments for uterine tumors, hemorrhoids, and hysteria.[1]

Cultivation

Per a 2011 report, cannabis is cultivated, mostly in southern Azerbaijan, "to a modest extent".[2]
