Is CBD Oil Legal in Other Countries?

Cannabis is considered an illicit substance in many parts of the world, but CBD is legal in most countries. However, since CBD is extracted from the cannabis plant, its legality is not unconditional everywhere. India's status of CBD and THC is unclear, as hemp is considered a sacred plant and is ritually burned for religious purposes. Norway has additional restrictions regarding the use and sale of CBD.

Latvia follows general EU legislation on industrial hemp and allows CBD oil with up to 0.2% THC to be legally sold on the market. The Danish authorities state that it is not punishable to buy or possess CBD products, as long as they contain less than 0.2% THC. Previously, CBD was in a gray area, but the Medical Products Agency considered it a drug when many companies marketed it with medical statements. While some countries do not have specific laws on CBD, they have strict laws around cannabis due to its high THC content.

The DEA usually doesn't put much effort into going after users or sellers of CBD, so the question of whether or not you can sell it without getting into trouble depends mainly on local state laws. Therefore, it is best for members of the military, police, or anyone else on active duty to only take isolated or broad-spectrum CBD and be able to provide independent laboratory results showing that it contains 0% THC. CBD is legal in the United Kingdom, on the condition that it is produced through an industrial hemp strain approved by the EU. We have prepared a list of the most visited countries that allow you to travel with their CBD.
