Latest News About CBD's Status in France

Recently, Europe has followed suit with various countries in determining that CBD is not some scary, dangerous substance. The European Union’s Court of Justice ruled that CBD should not be considered a narcotic. According to Food Navigator, in its ruling, the court wrote that CBD “does not appear to have any psychotropic effect or any harmful effect on human health.” Let’s take a look at how CBD’s status has shifted.


Inconsistent Laws
In France, the government heavily regulates CBD. For example, it is illegal for the product to come from the whole plant. However, manufacturers can extract CBD from both the fibers and seeds. On the other hand, the Czech Republic allows CBD from the entire plant. The different laws among the various countries have led to confusion. Companies often find themselves in a limbo situation since CBD products are legal in one nation but illegal in another.


Meaning of New Ruling
The court’s new ruling paves the way for laws to become more aligned to remove the confusion among manufacturers, nations, and customers. The decision read in part, “A Member State may not prohibit marketing of Cannabidiol (CBD) lawfully produced in another Member State when it is extracted from the Cannabis sativa plant in its entirety and not solely from its fibre and seeds.”
Therefore, CBD products should now move more freely, and the EU might remove the narcotic label once and for all in the future. More consumers will be able to benefit from CBD. The ruling can also relax the pathway for new brands to enter the marketplace for increased competition, more sales, and overall better products. Everybody can get excited about that!
