In the United States, CBD liquid can contain THC.
In places like Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and dozens of others, marijuana is legal. This means that in states that have legal access to marijuana that extracting CBD from marijuana is legal too. In the UK, this is not the case.
The legality of CBD products in the UK has been clouded in with marijuana prohibition.
The law for CBD in the UK allows for hemp derived CBD to be purchased legally.
However, companies and CBD shops selling CBD vape oil are not allowed to make unfounded medical claims according to UK laws.
In a show of support for plant medicine, Sajid Javid of home security announced that certain medical specialists throughout the UK are now legally able to recommend medical cannabis products. This could be a great sign for CBD. With more studies the claims about the potential benefits of CBD oil could be verified by the medical community.
UK law also allows for industrial hemp to be cultivated under a licence.
Cannabis oil produced from hemp must contain a THC content of 0.2% or less.
UK law also allows for industrial hemp to be used in clothing and building materials.
Laws from back in 2016 from the MHRA state that products must be licensed in order to be promoted or advertised for medical purposes.
Currently no licence has been issued for CBD oil as a medicine, so producers of CBD oil are not allowed to insinuate any medical benefits of this cannabinoid.
Cannabis (and by association Cannabis oil) remains the centre of a heated debate in countries such as the UK and the United States where cannabis seeds remain illegal on federal and the government levels, while small manufacturers and producers of cannabis products are constantly being met with court cases at the same time that global companies such as GW Pharma are having no problems getting products such as Sativex accepted in the UK by the MHRA or accepted in the US by the FDA.
With more science and information coming forward every month pertaining to cannabinoids and CBD products, it's only a matter of time before it becomes more widely available.
The potential allure of a product that stands to even be remotely healthy for consumers in comparison to nicotine or other products consumer smoke is very attractive.
When you factor in the global success rate of individual stories and testimonies about CBD products, it is easy to see why so many people are making the switch and ditching the smelly and unhealthy ways of smoking of the past.
