The sale of CBD flowers is definitively authorized by the Council of State
The French Council of State has canceled a ban on the sale of raw hemp flowers and leaves, allowing the production, processing and distribution of low-THC cannabis (up to 0.3%) without restrictions. This decision is based on public health considerations and on placing French producers at a disadvantage compared to their European competitors. Only active farmers can grow hemp for commercialization and seed production is not yet regulated. The clarification of the legal situation around the CBD in France will allow the economic development of a hemp sector in France. The CBD sector has grown rapidly in recent years, with a turnover of around 500 million euros
