바카라 사이트 Chemist contribution recognised as ACMD publishes advice on CBD products
The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs has now published its advice on consumer cannabidiol (CBD) to which the GC team has contributed with a series of activities
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid present in the cannabis plant (Cannabis sativa L) along with many other cannabinoids that may either exhibit psychoactive or non-psychoactive properties.
CBD plant extract or plant isolates have gained salience as an ingredient in food supplements and in some cosmetic products, and there has been a proliferation of such products, available online and on the high street.
As an isolated substance, CBD is not a controlled drug. However, the process of extracting or isolating CBD from the cannabis plant may co-extract the other cannabinoids and products.
CBD edible products are now regulated as novel foods. They must also be compositionally safe and correctly labelled. Wide variation in compliance with CBD label claims has been recorded and the presence of controlled cannabinoids is a known risk.
In addition, the 바카라 사이트榗ontrolled drug바카라 사이트� content 바카라 사이트榯hreshold바카라 사이트� of one milligram in a product or preparation referred to in the Home Office Drug Licensing Factsheet - Cannabis, CBD and other cannabinoids was presenting difficulties in interpretation and analysis.

- Guidance on analytical limits for controlled cannabinoids
- 바카라 사이트 Chemist provides summary of CBD related activities

ACMD has now published its advice on consumer cannabidiol (CBD) products making several recommendations. Read the report and accompanying letters:
