Is CBD Illegal? Why CBD Products Are Legal and Safe to Use
The legal status of CBD is a common question, and it’s understandable why some people are unsure. With its association to cannabis, CBD can often be misunderstood. However, at CBDflora, we want to clarify that CBD is indeed legal under certain conditions and that all our products comply with these legal standards to ensure safety and quality for our customers.
What Does the Law Say About CBD?
CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of many naturally occurring compounds in the cannabis plant. However, unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is also found in cannabis, CBD does not cause any psychoactive effects—meaning it won’t make you feel "high."
In Scandinavia and the European Union, CBD is legal as long as the product meets specific requirements. Here’s a breakdown of the key legal aspects:
-
THC Content Limits: The primary factor determining the legality of CBD products is the THC content. In the EU, CBD products must contain less than 0.2% THC, which is a minimal amount that doesn’t produce any psychoactive effects. These regulations are put in place to ensure that CBD products remain safe for consumers and distinct from products that contain higher levels of THC, which are regulated differently.
-
Source of CBD: Legal CBD products must come from industrial hemp, a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant that is specifically cultivated to have high CBD levels and low THC levels. Industrial hemp is legal to grow and process for CBD production under EU law, as long as the final products comply with the THC restrictions.
-
EU Regulations on Novel Foods: The European Union has also categorized CBD as a “novel food,” meaning it requires specific approval and oversight. This ensures that CBD products sold in the EU are manufactured in controlled environments with consistent quality standards. At CBDflora, we comply with these standards, ensuring that all our CBD products meet the quality and safety benchmarks set by EU regulations.
-
Scandinavian Compliance: In Sweden and other Scandinavian countries, the regulations align with EU law, but there are also additional guidelines to ensure consumer safety. CBDflora strictly adheres to these rules, ensuring that each product is safe, legal, and meets local requirements.
