Introduction

One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is: Is CBD legal? The short answer is yes. However, as with many legal issues, the legality of CBD legal in Spain and Europe depends on one fundamental factor: the THC legal limit allowed on each product.

In this article, we explain clearly and simply when CBD is legal, why it is, and what you should consider as a consumer.

Is CBD legal in Europe?

In the European Union, CBD derived from industrial hemp it is not considered a drug.

Furthermore, the Court of Justice of the European Union confirmed in 2020 that CBD cannot be treated as a narcotic if it originates from legal cultivation. This strengthened legal certainty across the EU.

Therefore, legal CBD is that which:

  • It comes from authorised hemp.

  • Respect the legal THC limits established in Europe.

  • It complies with labelling and marketing regulations.

Is it legal to consume CBD in Spain?

At Spain The consumption of CBD is legal as long as the product complies with the THC legal limit of 0.3 %.

It is important to differentiate:

  • CBD is not psychoactive.

  • Its consumption does not constitute a crime.

Consequently, if the product respects the maximum THC percentage, we are dealing with CBD legal in Spain.

However, beyond the normative analysis, it's important to understand how this regulation affects the consumer. Therefore, we have prepared a A practical guide to legal CBD and the legal THC limit in Spain, where we simply explain what you should consider before buying or consuming.

The decisive factor: the legal limit THC

Here is the key.

THC is the compound in cannabis that produces psychoactive effects. However, industrial hemp authorised in Europe may contain small amounts.

Currently, the THC legal limit is 0.3 %.

This means:

  • Up to 0.3 % → Legal product.

  • More than 0.3 % → Can be considered illegal cannabis.

That's why, when we talk about legal CBD, we're actually talking about products that respect that technical limit.

Can you test positive on a test?

 Although CBD is not psychoactive, some products may contain trace amounts of THC. If consumption is frequent and the product does not respect the legal limit, there could be a risk in a test.

Precisely for that reason, compliance with the legal THC limit is so important.

⚠️ Could there be legal issues?

Under normal circumstances, no.

However, situations may arise if:

  • The product has no laboratory analysis.

  • Exceeds the legal THC limit.

  • It's mislabelled.

For this reason, it is always advisable to purchase products with verifiable certification and analysis. This way, it is guaranteed that the CBD is legal and complies with European regulations.

Double Zero Hashish: What is it and how is it made?

It is one of the most valued hashish strains for its purity, creamy texture and intense aroma. It is obtained through a sieving process that separates the finest trichomes from the cannabis plant, resulting in a high quality resin.
