Is this product legal?
CBD has been legalised is many countries worldwide and is quickly becoming a huge industry. Depending on your location will depend whether the product itself is legal. Yes. CBD oil is legal in the United Kingdom. The oil has been permitted all this while. In fact, there has never been a law that specifically forbade the use of this oil. This is due to the fact that cannabidiol is not a controlled substance and thus no restrictions can be placed over its usage. If the CBD product is acquired from one of the sixty-three industrial hemp varieties approved by the European Union, then it is 100 percent legal. That, however, does not mean that all cannabis oils are allowed.
First and foremost, THC is an important factor to consider when it comes to cannabis oil being legal in the United Kingdom. It is the compound responsible for causing the “high” often linked to cannabis use. It is found in CBD and is illegal in the UK. Thus, even though cannabidiol is permitted, there are some strict restrictions placed over its THC concentration levels. At present, CBD oil in the United Kingdom can have a maximum THC concentration level of 0.2 percent. Anything higher than that is illegal and its use is forbidden in the country.
Third, CBD is not categorized as a controlled drug in the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Additionally, it is not in the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016. Therefore, provided that no medical claims are made and that it is openly sold as a food supplement, then it is remains legal to possess, sell, and purchase.
