They contain a broad range of active substances known as cannabinoids. The most common cannabinoids in hemp are THCa and CBDa, which activate to become THC and CBD when exposed to heat, smoked or vaporized.<\/p>\n<p>Hemp flower can be harvested and dried, then vaped, used as a tea or processed to extract the cannabinoids. In the UK, cannabis varieties are legally categorised as \u2018industrial hemp\u2019 when they have a <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/825872\/factsheet-cannabis-cbd-and-cannabinoids-2019.pdf\">\u2018THC content not exceeding 0.2%<\/a>\u2019. The cultivation, import and possession of all forms of cannabis, including industrial hemp, are tightly controlled and licensed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Makes_CBD_Legal\"><\/span><strong>What Makes CBD Legal?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the UK, CBD products are sold in high street stores, supermarkets and online. For each product to be compliant with the law, it must meet four criteria:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>It must not be sold as a medicine or on the basis of any specific health benefit. Unless a product has been rigorously trialled, tested and approved to medical standards, it shouldn\u2019t be sold as a medicine in the UK.<\/li>\n<li>The container must not hold more than 1mg of any controlled drug such as THC, THCV or CBN.<\/li>\n<li>It must not be prepared in a form that will allow any controlled cannabinoids (THC, THCV and CBN) to be easily extracted.<\/li>\n<li>Products designed to be eaten or swallowed, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.herbreviews.co.uk\/cbd\/cbd-capsules\/\">capsules<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.herbreviews.co.uk\/cbd\/cbd-gummies\/\">gummies<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.herbreviews.co.uk\/cbd\/cbd-oil\/\">oils<\/a>, pastes and other edibles, need to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.food.gov.uk\/business-guidance\/regulated-products\/novel-foods-guidance\">Novel Foods authorisation<\/a>. This is awarded by the UK Food Standards Agency and is required to demonstrate that the product meets the standards required of any newly introduced foods. Other CBD products such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.herbreviews.co.uk\/cbd\/cbd-e-liquid\/\">vape juices<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.herbreviews.co.uk\/cbd\/cbd-balm\/\">cosmetics and balms<\/a> do not need novel foods authorisation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_UK_Law_SayAbout_CBD_Flower\"><\/span><strong>What Does UK Law SayAbout CBD Flower?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to UK law, hemp flower is illegal. It\u2019s treated as if it\u2019s identical to high-THC cannabis flower. Legally all types of cannabis, including hemp, are defined as Class B controlled drugs under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health-ni.gov.uk\/articles\/misuse-drugs-legislations\">Misuse of Drugs Act 1971<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/uksi\/2001\/3998\/contents\/made\">Schedule 1 of the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001<\/a>. This is the case whatever the THC content of the flower; even hemp flower that does not exceed 0.2% THC are still illegal.<\/p>\n<p>The Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[&#8230;]<em>\u00a0&#8220;cannabis&#8221; (except in the expression &#8220;cannabis resin&#8221;) means any plant of the genus cannabis or any part of any such plant (by whatever name designated) except that it does not include cannabis resin or any of the following products after separation from the rest of the plant, namely\u2014<\/em><br \/>\n<em>(a) mature stalk of any such plant,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>(b) fibre produced from mature stalk of any such plant, and<\/em><br \/>\n<em>(c) seed of any such plant;&#8221;.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to current law the only legal use of hemp flower is the controlled and licensed import of flower to be used in CBD production. Strangely, this is only permitted for imported flower. If a license is granted to a commercial organisation to allow them to grow a crop of industrial hemp, they\u2019re only allowed to harvest and sell the stalks and seeds; the flowers and leaves must be destroyed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_Flower_Still_So_Readily_Available\"><\/span><strong>Why Is Flower Still So Readily Available?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite its illegal status, you\u2019ll likely have noticed that hemp flower is still available for sale online. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/uk-news\/2019\/may\/30\/cannabis-oil-restaurant-shut-down-despite-police-go-ahead\">confusing information<\/a> surrounding which hemp, CBD and cannabis products are legal has meant that some brands continue to sell it.<\/p>\n<p>There are have been several well-publicised cases of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theextract.co.uk\/news\/latest-news\/raid-kingdom-of-green\/\">police raiding shops<\/a> and confiscating or destroying large amounts of hemp flower. However, in general, enforcement of the illegal status of hemp flower is inconsistent.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, some companies continue to slip through the net. In many cases, the brands that continue to supply hemp flower do so because they\u2019ve misinterpreted the law and believe it to be legal. Most companies in this position state that their products are legal because the THC levels don\u2019t exceed 0.2%.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/825872\/factsheet-cannabis-cbd-and-cannabinoids-2019.pdf\">Home Office<\/a> has made it very clear that the 0.2% limit should only be used to determine which hemp strains can be used by licensed \u2018industrial hemp\u2019 growers. With hemp flower, it\u2019s not the THC content that makes it illegal it\u2019s because the flower itself is legally viewed as cannabis. The <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/825872\/factsheet-cannabis-cbd-and-cannabinoids-2019.pdf\">Home Office Drug Licensing Factsheet 2019 says:<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The \u20180.2%\u2019 reference is used solely to identify varieties which may potentially be cultivated.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Other hemp flower sellers try to use loopholes and labelling tricks to get around the law. Marking it as \u2018not for human consumption\u2019 is one method; this is based on the idea that if you don\u2019t consume the flower it\u2019s not illegal. However, the flower itself is restricted, whichever way it\u2019s used or consumed.<\/p>\n<p>Some even label whole buds as \u2018tea\u2019. This is a creative approach but doesn\u2019t make any difference to the fact that it\u2019s still not permitted by law. To be sold as a tea, the CBD flower must be milled and cannot be sold as whole buds.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite many CBD products being legal and many different rules and regulations surrounding hemp, the UK government is very clear that hemp flower is illegal.
