CBD and its legality in France?

The most common questions from consumers or internet users researching CBD consumption are:

- Is CBD legal in France? - Is it possible to buy CBD legal on the internet? - Is it possible to consume cannabis light legal?

To put your mind at rest, we've decided to shed some light on all these issues.

Since the 2000s, the legality of CBD has evolved considerably:

- 2000 : The arrival in France of this famous molecule CBD - 2016: The first CBD shops open - 2017: The year when everything accelerates after a huge number of CBD shop controls, the government has to manage this blur. - End of 2017: CBD first cannabinoid authorized at the Olympics, Olivier Niggli Director of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced that Cannabidiol would be removed from the list of substances prohibited in all sports competitions for 2018. - 2018 Macron de-lists CBD as a narcotic product - June 11, 2018: MILDECA state agency, clarifies and confirms the authorization and marketing on French soil of cannabis-derived products with THC levels below 0.2%. - 2019 : Several court cases, including the potentially precedent-setting "The PotCompany" case, which showed that European law prevails over French law for CBD. - 2020 : Kanavape trial: the French justice system fails to decide whether or not Kanavape 's activity is illegal, and hands the ball back to the European Court of Justice to decide.

In 2020, the legal vagueness becomes clearer, as European law is very clear on the subject and favors the sale and marketing of CBD products. Various court cases in France since 2019 have gone in favor of the cannabis players, who are finally judged by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).

Can you buy CBD legally on the Internet?

On the Internet, it's even easier to comply with the legal framework, but the strong growth of this market means that a more precise framework is needed to avoid any excesses.

We often hear: "It's amazing you can buy weed online!", "You're selling cannabis resin online, top!" "What? weed online?!"

- Yes, but it's important not to confuse marijuana and hemp, and for it to be legal it has to be Hemp - CBD (not THC-laden marijuana).

However, on the Internet, we advise you to be very vigilant: you'll find all kinds of sites offering CBD products, so make sure you ask about the natural aspect of production/manufacturing (no synthetics added, origin of the crop).

That's why cb'dé relies on the fact that all the products offered in the boutique are natural100% legal (product traceability: laboratory analysis).
