How cannabis is sold in Vienna
The date that reshaped Vienna's CBD trade is 21 November 2024, when the Administrative Court ruled that smokable hemp is a monopoly good.
The court decides that hemp flower of up to 0.3 percent THC falls under the tobacco tax and monopoly acts.
Cut-off date: only hemp specialists trading mainly in flowers that day can apply to keep selling.
The Nationalrat passes the Abgabenänderungsgesetz 2025, writing hemp flower into the monopoly and allowing licensed shops to sell to the end of 2028.
The MVG opens licence applications.
The MVG list of licensed hemp shops carries this date.

Cannabis in Vienna: questions
Why do some Vienna profiles list two or three addresses?
Each profile covers a business with several shops; the MVG licence is per business, so confirm the branch you visit.
Is Vienna more lenient than the rest of Austria?
No. The Suchtmittelgesetz applies nationwide, and the licence list, not the city, decides who may sell flower.
