Can you be arrested for carrying CBD oil in the UK?

A BRIT in Dubai is to serve 25 years in jail after he was caught with CDB oil.

Here’s the legal status of the Cannabis-derivative in the UK.

In the UK you CBD products are legal is approved by Home Office

Can you be arrested for carrying CBD oil in the UK?

The CBD must also be extracted from EU approved industrial-grade hemp strains to ensure the low THC content and that the oil is not considered a controlled substance under the Misuse of Drugs act.

It is also necessary for CBD producers to possess a licence to grow hemp or cannabis as well as permission from the UK Home Office.

If a CBD product and its supplier meet these requirements, then it is legal for you to buy and possess and you cannot be arrested for carrying CBD in the UK.

However, it is not legal to carry CBD oil when flying to the UK unless you are one of the few British citizens who possess a medicinal CBD oil license. 

It is currently illegal to buy CBD oil in another country, including Holland, and fly to the UK with it and so and you could be potentially arrested. 

How much CBD can you have on you in the UK?

CBD flowers and hash products are also legal to buy in the UK, as long as the THC content is less than 0.2% and the supplier and grower meet all necessary legal requirements as mentioned.

However, carrying CBD flowers and hash could potentially result in an arrest if the police officer is unaware of the legality of the product and determines the substance to be cannabis.

This grey area means that in order to avoid confusion, confiscation or potential arrest, you should avoid travelling with CBD flower and hash products. 

Is CBD oil illegal in other countries?

While the general EU law permits the consumption of CBD products containing no more than 0.2% THC.

There are a few exceptions such as Croatia, and Slovenia, etc; that applies an outright ban to all cannabis and cannabis derived substances including CBD.

In Europe it’s banned in:

  • Albania           
  • Andorra          
  • Armenia
  • Belarus           
  • Bosnia and Herzegovina
  • Georgia          
  • Lithuania        
  • Moldova         
  • Monaco
  • Montenegro 
  • Slovakia
