Up to 2 years for importing cannabis; 1–6 years for possessing psychotropic substances.

§ US State Dept — Slovakia
PROHIBITED

Cannabis is illegal in Slovakia and possession is a crime carrying prison, not a fine. Up to 2 grams carries up to 1 year, more than 2 grams up to about 10 grams carries 6 months to 3 years, and above that 1 to 6 years. Growing even two plants for your own use is a criminal offence, there is no medical cannabis programme, and driving is zero-tolerance -- it is illegal to drive while a drug may still be present in your body.

Possession of cannabis: up to 1 year for a negligible amount, meaning up to 2 g; 6 months to 3 years for a small amount; and 1 to 6 years for a larger amount or where the offender was convicted of the same offence in the previous 24 months (Criminal Code s. 171). Growing up to a negligible amount strictly for personal use: up to 6 months, rising to up to 2 years and then 6 months to 3 years with quantity (s. 172). Production or trafficking: 1 to 5 years at the base level, and 3 to 10 years in aggravated cases (s. 173).
