First Seizure of Kief in Cyprus by Authorities
June 20, 2026
The authorities conducted their first significant seizure of kief in Cyprus, finding 6,373 grams of cannabis resin and 1 kilogram of synthetic cannabis. Two individuals were arrested, including the 49-year-old landowner and a 28-year-old living illegally in the country. Kief is a fine crystalline powder derived from cannabis flowers, and this significant amount is a first in the region. The investigation is ongoing, and new substances are increasingly being discovered in Cyprus. Recent seizures reflect the commitment of the authorities in the fight against drugs.
