Cannabis in Costa Rica
According to The Costa Rica News, "The Narcotics Law No. 8204 says that it's illegal to sell and produce marijuana on a big scale. It's also illegal to carry marijuana up to a small dose. That said, the law doesn’t specify how much marijuana qualifies as a 'small dose' or if it's legal to grow the plant for personal use."[1] Many have interpreted this vagueness in the law to mean personal consumption in small dosages is legal in private areas.
In public areas, police may confiscate the drug, but no further consequences typically follow.
