In Germany, the conventional cannabis plant has long been banned. But at least since the legalization of products with a THC content of less than 0.2%, a real trend towards cannabis has developed. Poland legalized the medical use of cannabis in July 2018 (Piotr Liroy-Marzec bill). [17] The law came into force in November 2018. [18] [19] CBD oil is now legal to buy in Germany. It is one of the cannabinoids and is extracted from the hemp plant. However, it does not contain THC, which triggers the well-known intoxication effect when consumed. It is extracted from the seeds of the female hemp plant, but only from plants low in THC. If it is sold freely in different concentrations in pharmacies, pharmacies or online shops in Germany, only a very low THC content can be included. This small proportion does not have an intoxicating effect and is not addictive.

Cannabis oil containing THC is banned in Germany and is considered a soft drug. For some diseases, however, it can be prescribed by the doctor and is then considered medical cannabis. As in Germany, CBD is legal in Poland. However, the THC content should not exceed 0.2%. Cannabis containing THC cannot be legally distributed. Only medical cannabis containing THC can be administered with a doctor`s prescription for certain diseases. CBD in Poland, as well as Germany, is strictly controlled by legislation and is still viewed with suspicion. Nevertheless, after legalization in Poland, hemp stores practically sprang up from the ground. The range of products here is very rich.

Customers can buy hemp tea, hemp soap, cannabis oil, hemp chocolate or hemp noodles in a so-called head or weed store. However, the THC content should not exceed 0.2%. Over-the-counter cannabis products in Germany rarely reach the 0.2% limit. However, they are often well below. Testers who bought cannabis oil or dried cannabis flowers in Poland and tested them for their ingredients found that over-the-counter CBD in Poland often contains exactly 0.2% THC and no less, as is often the case in Germany. For this reason, German customs do not like Polish cannabis products to be purchased online or purchased directly in Poland from a main store. But the authors, who surveyed 300 medical marijuana industry insiders, point out that the fast-growing market faces an impressive number of hurdles. These include insufficient access to legal capital, unfavorable tax status, a lack of experienced executives, downward pressure on prices, and a complex — and contradictory — web of state and federal rules. All of this makes investing in marijuana a risky proposition. In Poland, the legal situation is similar to that of Germany. Cannabis and cannabis products are legal and freely available for sale as long as they have a THC content of less than 0.2%.

These non-psychoactive products can be purchased and consumed legally. Buying CBD products in Poland is just as legal as in Germany. But what about importing goods? Many perfectly legal products and services, from software and security to hydroponic infrastructure to marketing, communications and consulting, will offer opportunities to make money in the years to come. Poland legalized the medical use of cannabis in July 2018 (Piotr Liroy-Marzec bill). [17] The law came into force in November 2018. [18] [19] But is it even legal to buy cannabis in Poland? And is it allowed to transport cannabis across the German-Polish border? Questions about the legality of products dismiss retailers with indignation. The goods are legal in all cases and come from controlled crops in Italy or Spain. In Poland, you can`t produce CBD cannabis at all, they explain. Because the Polish police are very closely monitoring the cannabis scene in the country. If, despite careful selection, there was even one plant in a plantation whose flowers had a THC content of more than 0.2 percent, problems with the authorities would be unthinkable.

For this reason, German customs do not like Polish cannabis products to be purchased online or purchased directly in Poland from a main store. Of course, not only in Germany. In most countries of the Western world, a veritable cannabis boom has developed. As long as the products contain a negligible amount of THC, they are not psychoactive.
