Frequently Asked Questions about CBD and Hemp Products

What is CBD?

CBD is short for Cannabidiol. It is a natural component of the hemp plant and one of several known cannabinoids.

What is the difference between CBD and THC?

CBD and THC are different cannabinoids. THC is particularly known for the intoxicating effect of cannabis. According to current knowledge, CBD does not cause an intoxicating effect comparable to THC.

However, the legal assessment of a product depends not only on the cannabinoid it contains, but also on its composition, labeling, intended use, and product category.

Are CBD products generally legal in Germany?

No, this question cannot be answered generally.

Whether a CBD or hemp product may be sold depends on the specific product. Food law, cosmetics law, pharmaceutical law, product safety law, and other legal regulations may be relevant, among others.

Therefore, a low THC content alone does not automatically mean that a product is marketable.

Are products with less than 0.3 percent THC automatically permitted?

No. The THC concentration is only one of several possible assessment criteria.

In addition, origin, composition, product category, labeling, presentation, and intended use must be considered, among other things.

Are CBD flowers automatically legal?

No. CBD flowers must also be assessed based on their specific nature, origin, labeling, and intended use.

Designations such as "aroma product" or "collector's item" do not automatically mean that a product is legally permissible.

Are all CBD products suitable for consumption?

No. Only the labeling, intended use, and application instructions of the respective product are decisive.

Products must not be used contrary to their stated intended purpose. Therefore, always observe the information on the product page and packaging.

Are CBD products medicines?

Not every product containing CBD is automatically a medicine.

The legal classification must be examined on a case-by-case basis and may depend, among other things, on the composition, dosage, presentation, and advertised intended use.

What effect does CBD have?

Numerous possible effects of CBD are described on the internet. However, many of these statements are not conclusively scientifically proven.

Therefore, we do not make any health claims and do not recommend CBD products for the treatment, alleviation, or prevention of diseases.

Can CBD interact with medications?

Interactions with medicines cannot be generally excluded.

Individuals taking medication, who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have health problems, should seek medical or pharmaceutical advice before using a CBD-containing product.

How do I recognize transparent product information?

Pay attention to, among other things:

• a clear product name;

• an unambiguous intended purpose;

• comprehensible ingredient declarations;

• manufacturer or importer details;

• batch or lot numbers;
