CBD is now very popular. But there are still people who are hesitant to try CBD. This is because they are afraid that if they do so, they will be committing a crime. Some people think that it is illegal to use CBD. The confusion is understandable.
Way back in the history of the UK, there really is a time when growing hemp is illegal. At that time, marijuana is becoming very popular. And since hemp and marijuana are related it is easy to confuse the two.
Of course, eventually, it was discovered that the two are different. Marijuana contains significant amounts of THC, a psychoactive substance. Hemp, on the other hand, contains very little THC. This means that hemp and products derived from hemp cannot get people high.
Now it is legal to grow hemp in the UK. You will need to get a license though. It is also perfectly legal to sell CBD. The only restriction is that sellers cannot market CBD as a medicine. They can only market CBD products as cosmetics and food supplements.
Also, they cannot make claims that CBD is able to cure health conditions. Then there is also the recent claim by the Food Standards Agency that CBD is a “novel food.” This means that the more testings are needed to prove the safety of CBD.
What you really need to know as a consumer is that you can go to a CBD shop and buy a CBD product such as CBD spray UK and you will not get into trouble.
