Having recently arrived on the market in France, CBD products are perfectly legal to market and use. Nicopouches deciphers CBD jurisdiction for you
Since its authorization for marketing and consumption by decree from the French Ministry of Health in November 2017, CBD has enjoyed growing success in France. Recognized for its properties aiding relaxation and helping people fall asleep, CBD is nevertheless still little-known by the general public and too often associated with majijuana containing another molecule with psychotropic effects. Here we explain the differences between CBD and THC, and why CBD products are legal in France.
Hemp (cannabis sativa) contains several molecules called cannabinoids, each with its own specific properties. The best-known, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), is responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis consumption. Depending on the variety of cannabis, this is known as "getting high" or "getting stoned", in other words, disrupting the body and altering the state of consciousness. Products containing THC are classified as narcotics and are therefore illegal in France. CBD (or cannabidiol), on the other hand, has no psychotropic effects on the body, and does not make the user "high", but provides a mild sedative effect that greatly contributes to relaxation of the body and mind, and can also promote sleep. CBD is considered a dietary supplement, not a narcotic.
As demonstrated by several scientific studies whose methods and conclusions have been validated by the French Ministry of Health, CBD does not cause addiction in users. The effects provoked by CBD consumption are also not considered psychotropic, and therefore do not cause "bad trips" (anguish and anxiety sometimes generated) as can be the case following exposure of the body to THC molecules.
CBD as a dietary supplement has properties that more and more scientific studies agree are beneficial to the body. If used regularly and conscientiously, like any dietary supplement, CBD can help you manage moments of anxiety. Its mild sedative effect can also help you fall asleep and guarantee a restful night's sleep. Finally, those committed to complete nicotine withdrawal can manage withdrawal by consuming CBD products during difficult periods.
