The year has barely started and the first bad surprise arrives for professionals of CBD (cannabidiol). Indeed, even then this molecule is booming especially after the confirmation of the European Union of its legality, the government for its part has just made the decision to tighten the screws on its industrial and commercial use.
A CATASTROPHIC DECISION FOR PROFESSIONALS!
After the historic decision of European Union on CBD, the cannabidiol trade has experienced a big "boom" to the point that it is almost impossible not to find a specialty store near your home. And so it is a completely unexpected bad surprise that has just fallen.
Indeed, a decree published in the Official Journal, Friday December 31, now prohibits the sale to consumers of flowers or raw leaves for smoking or herbal tea. "The sale to consumers of raw flowers or leaves in all their forms, alone or in combination with other ingredients, their possession by consumers and their consumption is prohibited " thus details the text.
And the flowers and leaves of these varieties "May only be harvested, imported or used for the industrial production of hemp extracts", details the decree.
Finally, the sale of seedlings and the practice of cuttings are prohibited. "Only active farmers within the meaning of the European and national regulations in force can cultivate hemp flowers and leaves".
A cleaver that risks putting in great difficulty many entrepreneurs who had bet or had reconverted in the flourishing trade of CBD. To see if this decision will be challenged by Europe in the coming weeks.
