🟢 Introduction: CBD, CBG, CBN… legal or not?
Hemp is making a strong comeback, driven by molecules like CBD , CBG and CBN , known for their natural benefits without psychoactive effects.
But their legal status remains unclear for many. Is it legal? Can they be sold? And consumed freely?
At Herbeevor , we strive to be 100% transparent about the legality of our products. Here's everything you need to know about French regulations in 2025 .
🌿 1. The legal framework of CBD in France
CBD (cannabidiol) is authorized in France , under certain strict conditions:
✅ Made from EU-authorized hemp varieties
✅ The THC of the finished product must be less than 0.3%
✅ Products must not claim a therapeutic effect (except for drug marketing authorization)
✅ Laboratory testing must be available to ensure compliance
🔍 Please note: Since January 2022, hemp flowers and leaves are once again authorized for sale if they comply with the legal THC level.
🔬 2. What about CBG (cannabigerol)?
CBG is also legal in France , under the same rules as CBD:
💡 Since CBG is not classified as a narcotic and does not present any identified dangers, its sale is authorized in the form of a wellness supplement.
🌙 3. And CBN (cannabinol), which is rarer?
CBN is more sensitive from a regulatory point of view because it is derived from the degradation of THC , which can sometimes cause doubt.
However, in France:
✅ CBN is allowed as long as the THC in the product remains below 0.3%
✅ It is not classified as a narcotic by the ANSM
✅ It can be used in wellness products, without medical claims
At Herbeevor , all our CBN-based products are tested, traceable and formulated in compliance with French law.
🔒 4. European regulations: where can you sell?
-
🇫🇷 France: CBD, CBG, CBN authorized if THC ≤ 0.3%
-
🇩🇪 Germany: same rule, but increased vigilance on formats
-
🇪🇸 Spain: CBD authorized for external use only
-
🇮🇹 Italy: legal, but the sale of flowers is regulated
-
🇳🇱 Netherlands: Broader tolerance, but no official status
📌 In Europe, CBD is authorized in most countries , but its offer and labeling must be adapted to each market .
📦 5. Online sales: what are the obligations in France?
To legally sell CBD, CBG or CBN in France:
✅ Have laboratory analyses available (full spectra)
✅ Indicate the THC level and the origin of the hemp
✅ Be clear about the use: wellness supplement, not medicine
✅ Have up-to-date T&Cs and legal notices
✅ Do not target minors or make promises of healing
At Herbeevor, we fulfill all these obligations with rigor.
