CBD has grown rapidly in popularity across the UK, but many people still ask the same question: what exactly is CBD, and is it legal?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a naturally occurring compound found in the hemp plant. Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it won’t get you “high.” Instead, it’s commonly used to support relaxation, stress management, sleep, and overall wellbeing.
Yes — CBD is legal in the UK, provided it meets specific regulations:
THC content must not exceed 0.2%
Products must be derived from EU-approved hemp strains
CBD must not be marketed as a medicine unless approved by the MHRA
