The short answer

CBD with less than 0.3% THC is authorized

CBD (cannabidiol) is not a narcotic and does not have an intoxicating effect. In France, products derived from compliant hemp with a THC content of less than 0.3% are authorized for sale. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) confirmed this in 2020 in the Kanavape case: a member state cannot prohibit CBD legally produced in the EU.

Important & in full transparency: the legal framework continues to evolve. CBD oils, cosmetics, and extracts are clearly marketable. For raw flowers, the Council of State has intervened (see below). Cannabuben only lists laboratory-tested products and continuously adapts its assortment to the current law. No medical or therapeutic claims are made.

CBD Flowers — clearly explained

What is the situation with CBD flowers?

CBD flowers come from authorized hemp (THC < 0.3%). The regulation has seen several reversals: a ban on the sale of raw flowers and leaves was contested, and the Council of State suspended it at the end of 2021 before partially annulling it, deeming it disproportionate. The sale of CBD flowers is therefore authorized in France as long as the THC remains below 0.3%. We present the situation openly rather than claiming "everything is allowed" — and we recommend that you inform yourself about the current legal framework before any purchase.

What is the basis for the legality of CBD

The legality of CBD in France is based on European Union law and national jurisprudence, not on mere tolerance.

✓CJEU Kanavape ruling (2020): a member state cannot prohibit the marketing of CBD legally produced in another EU country without scientific evidence of harm.
✓Council of State: suspended then partially annulled the ban on the sale of raw CBD flowers and leaves, deemed disproportionate.
✓THC threshold: CBD products remain marketable as long as the THC content is less than 0.3%, certified by a laboratory analysis (COA).

Frequently Asked Questions — CBD & law

Is CBD legal in France?+

Yes. In France, CBD products derived from compliant hemp with a THC content of less than 0.3% are authorized for sale. CBD (cannabidiol) is not a narcotic and is not listed as a psychotropic substance. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) confirmed in 2020, in the Kanavape case, that a member state cannot prohibit the marketing of CBD legally produced in another EU state. When purchasing, always check laboratory analyses (certificate of analysis / COA).

Are CBD flowers legal in France?+

The sale of CBD flowers and leaves is authorized in France as long as the THC content remains below 0.3%. The Council of State suspended at the end of 2021 and then partially annulled the ban on the sale of raw flowers, deeming it disproportionate. The situation may continue to evolve; Cannabuben continuously adapts its assortment to the current legal framework and only offers laboratory-tested products.

Do you need a prescription to buy CBD?+

No. CBD products with less than 0.3% THC can be purchased freely online, without a prescription — unlike medical cannabis, which requires a prescription within the strict framework provided in France. This is precisely what makes legal CBD a simple and accessible alternative.

What is the basis for the legality of CBD in France?+

The legality of CBD in France is based on European Union law and national jurisprudence. The CJEU Kanavape ruling (November 2020) established that a member state cannot prohibit CBD legally produced in the EU in the name of public health without scientific evidence. The Council of State then intervened on the issue of raw flowers. The threshold retained for marketable products is a THC content of less than 0.3%.

What THC content can legal CBD contain?+

In France, the THC content of marketable CBD products must remain below 0.3%. Serious suppliers prove this through a laboratory analysis (certificate of analysis / COA). Beyond this threshold, the product is no longer considered authorized hemp and may be considered a narcotic.

What CBD products are legally available?+

CBD flowers, CBD resin, CBD oils, CBD vapes, and CBD edibles, as long as the THC content remains below 0.3%. All products listed at Cannabuben are laboratory-tested; the legal framework for certain categories continues to evolve.

Is CBD psychoactive?+

No. CBD (cannabidiol) does not have an intoxicating effect and does not cause the 'high' associated with THC. This is one of the reasons why, in France as in the EU, it is not classified as a narcotic as long as the THC content remains below 0.3%.

Can CBD be detected in a drug test?+

Pure CBD generally does not trigger a positive THC test. However, full-spectrum products contain traces of THC (< 0.3%) that could, in theory, be detected by very sensitive tests. People who are regularly tested will prefer THC-free isolate-based products.
