Is CBD legal?

CBD Legalisation in the UK

The fact that CBD is non-intoxicating is important for all kinds of reasons. People can take CBD and experience the benefits of an improved ECS, such as reduced inflammation and pain, less anxiety, and even better sleeping patterns (to name a very small sample of potential therapeutic benefits) without feeling high.

And, because CBD is classified as non-intoxicating, it has indeed come to be legal in many countries, including the UK. But, there are some strict guidelines connected to this legal status:

• CBD is legal in the UK as long as it does not contain more than trace amounts (more than 0.2%) of THC, which is a controlled substance under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.

CBD is legal in the UK provided it has been derived from an industrial hemp strain that is EU-approved or comes from outside the EU.
