Tips to Buy CBD Around the World

CBD is a popular cannabinoid that has been widely used for its therapeutic properties. In this blog post, we will discuss the state of the CBD industry globally and which countries have legalized it. 

We’ll also talk about whether or not you can purchase CBD from the United States and ship it to other countries. It’s important to note that even if CBD is legal in a country, there may be restrictions on where it can be sold or who can buy it.

UK

The UK legalized CBD for medicinal use in 2018 with a doctor’s prescription. There are currently no specific regulations regarding selling products containing hemp-derived cannabinoids as long as they contain less than 0.2% THC content by weight (i.e., CBD oil containing less than 0.002% THC). If you are looking for CBD oil in the UK, you should not have any trouble finding it!

France

In 2018, France legalized cannabis for medicinal use and recognized its numerous therapeutic benefits, including pain relief, treatment of disorders such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis, management of nausea caused by chemotherapy treatments, or AIDS/HIV medications, among many others. 

The law allows the authorities to prescribe cannabis for medicinal use by patients with chronic illnesses, cancer, or multiple sclerosis. There are no specific regulations regarding CBD products, but they should contain less than 0.08% THC content (i.e., only trace amounts of psychoactive cannabinoid).

Italy 

Medicinal Cannabis was legalized in Italy in 2013 and is currently the only approved substance used to treat several medical conditions. The law allows patients who have been treated with cannabis-based products and that meet specific requirements to access it through a special card.

Canada 

Marijuana is legal for recreational use in Canada as of October 2018 but does not make CBD oil readily available. However, the country legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes as of 2001 and has several authorized cannabis products.

USA

CBD oil is legal in the US for medicinal purposes, but CBD products are not regulated by the FDA. The law states that any product containing less than 0.03% THC (i.e., no psychoactive effects) can be sold as long as it does not make specific health claims related to its use or include hazardous ingredients like pesticides and other contaminants.

Which strains are legal Overseas?

It is important to note that even though certain countries have legalized CBD, the laws and regulations may vary depending on where it’s being sold or who can buy it. It also depends on whether marijuana is legal in a given country. Cannabis strains are typically only legal if they contain less than 0.08% THC content (i.e., trace amounts of psychoactive cannabinoid).

How is CBD sold overseas?

Overseas, CBD can be purchased either in health food stores or online. Some countries also have cannabis cafes where it is permitted to buy and smoke marijuana products containing only trace amounts of THC (i.e., under 0.08%) but not exceed the maximum amount allowed by law per person daily ($30). 

Lastly, some countries allow patients who suffer from specific medical conditions to purchase CBD with a doctor’s prescription after they receive the license card that allows them to access this type of drug for medicinal use.

Can I ship CBD oil overseas?

You cannot ship hemp-derived cannabidiol products across international borders because they are viewed as an illegal substance since importing any product containing psychoactive cannabinoids is considered smuggling under federal laws. There is a risk that customs may seize the product and will confiscate it.

Who qualifies for CBD purchase overseas?

People who are qualified to purchase CBD oil overseas are those who have a doctor’s prescription and that qualify under the specific laws of their country. Mostly individuals with chronic illnesses and/or cancer.

What are the forms of CBD that can be purchased?

CBD can be in many forms, including capsules, oils, topical creams, and gummies. However, you should never put CBD products in your eyes, ears, or mouth.

What is the best way to take it?

It is recommended that you consult with a medical professional before taking CBD oil and follow their instructions on how many drops should be taken per day depending on what you are using it for (i.e., pain relief). If buying it online, most manufacturers will provide you with a dosage chart.

What is CBD oil?

CBD oil is oil that is extracted from the cannabis plant. It typically contains cannabidiol (CBD) which has various medical benefits, including pain relief, treatment of disorders such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis, etc.

How much CBD should I take?

It is important to consult with your physician before taking any supplement or natural remedy because it may interfere with other medications you are currently using (e.g., antidepressants, antibiotics), among many others that can react negatively if taken in combination with psychoactive cannabinoids like THC.

What are the possible side effects of CBD use?

Side effects of CBD aren’t very common, but they include constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, and changes in appetite. If you experience these symptoms, stop taking the product immediately and talk to your doctor about alternative treatment options for pain management or another condition you suffer from. You could also try hemp-derived cannabidiol products that contain less than 0.08% THC (i.e., trace amounts of psychoactive cannabinoid).

Summing up, CBD is a booming business with a lot of legal hurdles. If you are living in one country and buying CBD hemp-derived cannabidiol products, make sure to check the laws in your country before making any purchase. As always, consult with your doctor first for proper dosage instructions when purchasing online because different countries have different regulations on this type of product (i.e., THC).
