UK 바카라 사이트 responds to expert advice on CBD

UK 바카라 사이트 responds to expert committee recommendations on consumer CBD products.

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 products, which are available to purchase online or on the high street, are sold for their potential to produce 바카라 사이트˜well-being바카라 사이트™ benefits. Currently, the most commonly sold CBD product is CBD oil, but the range of products containing CBD is expanding and includes food supplements, drinks, cosmetics and liquids for vaping.

CBD food products are regulated as and must comply with safety and labelling regulations. The presence of controlled cannabinoids is a known risk and interpretation and analysis of 바카라 사이트˜controlled drug바카라 사이트™ content 바카라 사이트˜thresholds바카라 사이트™ of CBD presents difficulties. This is why the Ministerial Commission asked the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) to specify which cannabinoids should be controlled and to set an unavoidable trace level for each of these within consumer CBD products.

As the 바카라 사이트 Chemist had undertaken a number of CBD-related projects, we were able to provide valuable input to the ACMD바카라 사이트™s call for evidence:

The ACMD published its advice for the control of consumer CBD products in December 2021. In October 2023, the 바카라 사이트 published its response, which states that it agrees in principle to all the AMCD바카라 사이트™s recommendations.

Earlier in October 2023, the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued updated precautionary advice on CBD, which recommended that 바카라 사이트œhealthy adults should limit their consumption of CBD from food to 10mg per day, which is about 4-5 drops of 5% CBD oil.바카라 사이트 The previous limit was 70 mg per day. This change in advice is based on new evidence from the industry and 

The 바카라 사이트 Chemist will continue to work with UK regulators and other stakeholders to deliver the ACMD바카라 사이트™s recommendations in support of effective regulation to ensure that CBD related food products are safe.
