Since then, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg have adapted their regulations to facilitate and authorize the trade in CBD.

Cannabis contains several chemicals, cannabinoids, the effects of which have been studied since the 1960s. Two elements stand out in particular, namely THC and CBD. The first is known for its psychoactive characteristics. Affecting both the psyche and the heart, it is highly addictive and considered a prohibited drug.

CBD or cannabidiol does not have any of these negative health effects, which is the reason why it is fully authorized as long as it does not exceed a certain concentration of THC. Contrary to popular belief, public authorities in France and Europe have not set the percentage of CBD allowed in flowers, oils, e-liquids and other products made from cannabis plants. Only the THC level is subject to very strict regulations, which may change in the years to come.

Many still oppose CBD and other compounds derived from cannabis, when they are simply not aware of the properties of CBD.

Nevertheless, CBD has always accompanied the different populations with hemp and is here to stay! From hemp, cannabidiol (CBD) is an active ingredient with recognized therapeutic virtues. It should not be confused with THC with psychotropic properties. To be legal, CBD products must meet French and European standards.

– En 2021, the THC rate authorized in each product made from hemp varies between European countries. In France, a limit has been set at 0.2%, not in the final product but within the original cannabis plant. This maximum level applies to all seeds and fibers used in the manufacture of the products. Plants must also be on the list authorized by health authorities. By respecting these standards, the finished products are guaranteed to be THC-free and therefore are perfectly healthy for the body.
