Legal Sale of CBD in Switzerland: Benefits and Availability
CBD, a key compound in cannabis with many benefits, is legal in Switzerland with <1% THC levels. Various products available.

For many years, the public has been unaware that cannabidiol (CBD) has become one of the key compounds in herbal medicine due to its many benefits. It is one of the active ingredients in cannabis, a plant that is prohibited from being sold in Switzerland. However, it has now been authorized if it is produced in compliance with current regulations.


In the past five years, the Swiss government has joined several other countries in legalizing the production, marketing, and consumption of CBD. CBD is short for cannabidiol, a cannabinoid found in marijuana. Unlike THC, it does not produce a psychoactive "high" or cause addiction, which are attributed to the plant's THC content.


However, in order to be sold, products containing this active substance must have a THC level less than 1%, slightly higher than the percentage allowed in other EU member states like France. The aim of this legislation is to allow the public to benefit from the many therapeutic advantages of this molecule. To comply with current regulations, growers have an obligation to carefully select their seeds and must carry out self-inspections of their cultivation, submitting reports to the federal public health office.


Thanks to this method, consumers can now benefit from high-quality products without posing a significant risk to their health.


Where in Switzerland can cannabis resin be purchased?


Since the legalization of this form of marijuana, several companies have begun marketing it. Additionally, we have observed the emergence of online sales websites where you can easily order your preferred products with just a few clicks. Another advantage is that these products do not contain high levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which makes them less harmful to health. If you are looking for the central business district in Lausanne, you can visit the beautiful Green.


The brand offers a variety of legal cannabis derivatives such as capsules, tea or infusion, seeds, or CBD oil. In the cultivation section of the store, customers will find everything they need to grow their own cannabis, including grow tents, substrates, and nutrient solutions. The brand also offers a range of electronic cigarette accessories, including e-cigarettes, e-liquids, and vaporizers, in their Smoke store.


Products made from cannabidiol can provide all of the benefits of its active ingredient. We particularly considered the pain-relieving properties that help alleviate joint and muscle pain. This molecule also has a relaxing effect which can improve pain tolerance for older individuals or those with chronic pain. Additionally, the anti-anxiety properties of the active ingredient can promote relaxation and sleep without causing the side effects commonly associated with sleep aids.
