Over the past few years, the CBD in the UK trend has seen a proliferation of offers. Online, in specialist stores, from local producers or even on Amazon, getting hold of CBD has become very simple, but the quality and the right prices aren't always there. So here's our advice on where to buy CBD in the UK.
Reminder: is cannabidiol legal in the UK ?
Let's remember once and for all: cannabidiol is not a drug. Unlike THC, the psychoactive molecule in cannabis, it is not considered a narcotic under French law.
All products derived from hemp are authorized for possession and consumption in the UK on one specific condition: they must contain less than 0.3% THC in the finished product. It is therefore essential for consumers to check this parameter before purchasing any product.
Where to find CBD in the UK ?
As you've probably noticed in recent years, CBD stores are springing up all over the in the UK . There are also a growing number of websites offering CBD-based products, not to mention wholesalers and producers who now sell references directly to interested consumers.
Buy CBD in the UK online
Buying CBD in the UK online is surely the most accessible way for many of you, not to mention the bargains to be found on the web. Beware, however, as scams are very common, not to mention products labelled as legal in the UK, but which turn out not to comply with French legislation.
Find cheap CBD on CBDSol!
As seasoned and knowledgeable CBD consumers, we were tired of not finding a brand that offered both quality products at reasonable prices. So we created CBDSol, a 100% French brand selling high-quality products guaranteed legal in the UK. As ethics are also important to us, we offer a fair and generous remuneration to the hemp growers from whom we source our products. We also manufacture all our products in the UK to reduce our carbon footprint.
Buy CBD in the UK from a specialist store
Buying CBD in the UK from a specialist store can be a good solution, especially if you're looking to consume CBD for the very first time. You can go straight to the store and ask the sales staff for advice, who will explain the differences between the various types of product, while being (pretty) sure that the items are legal to hold in the UK.
In-store product ranges are often less extensive than in online stores, and prices are generally higher too, but this may compensate for the personalized advice you receive from our sales staff.
Buy CBD in the UK from local growers
In a few words, yes you can indeed buy CBD in the UK from local growers, but it remains very rare. Although France is one of the main producers of hemp - and therefore CBD - in the UK, very few growers offer direct sales to consumers. What's more, hemp farmers don't make their own processed products. So you'll only find CBD flowers.
Be careful, too, if you decide to buy directly from a hemp farmer. Although these growers are subject to strict rules in order to be authorized to cultivate the plant, and can only grow cannabis that complies with legislation, we are never safe from an illegal plant that has hybridized.
Buy CBD in the UK from wholesalers
Whether online or in physical stores, CBD wholesalers offer a wide range of products: from plants and flowers to resin and other concentrates, the references are generally numerous.
You can therefore decide to buy CBD in the UK from wholesalers, but be aware that, generally, in order for the order to be accepted, you'll need to buy a certain quantity or the equivalent of a certain amount - often a substantial one. We therefore don't really recommend that you opt for this type of shopping as an individual.
Is CBD available in French pharmacies?
It is indeed possible to find CBD in French pharmacies, but only under certain conditions. Firstly, the establishment must have received prior authorization from the government in order to be able to market CBD-based products. Similarly, pharmacists must be able to advise patients on the products.
Also, all references found in pharmacies must comply with legislation stipulating that cannabis-based products sold in the UK must contain less than 0.3% THC. Note that you can buy CBD in pharmacies without a prescription, as the substance is not considered a medicine in the UK. However, you will need to ask your dispensing chemist for references.
Can I buy CBD on Amazon?
It's not really possible to buy CBD on Amazon, and we don't recommend it, just as the American Marketplace team doesn't. The platform accepts no responsibility for any problems (medical or legal) with this type of product purchased on its website. So buy CBD from Amazon at your own risk.
Hemp-seed products are available on Amazon, but remember that you may be liable to prosecution for possession and use of drugs in the UK. Product descriptions may be wrong.
Conclusion: it's very easy to get CBD in the UK
Even if you're a completely novice CBD consumer, you should know that it's extremely simple to get hold of cannabidiol-based products. For our part, we recommend that you visit a physical store for advice, or shop online for cheaper prices and a wide choice of references.
