CBD is legal in the UK if sold as a food supplement. CBD products that are produced using Cannabis Sativa L. (hemp) are able to be legally sold as food supplements.

Cannabidiol (CBD) has been the talk of the town in recent years. CBD doesn’t get you “high” and isn’t psychoactive like its illicit sibling THC.

This legal reform has made it possible to conduct experiments and research on CBD in the UK. Even though it is derived from Cannabis, a plant that is illegal to grow and possess in the UK, it is nevertheless still 100% legal and can be freely sold, possessed and consumed recreationally.
