CBD in Italy
THC Limit: < 0.6%
Italy has one of the highest legal THC limits for hemp-derived products in Europe, allowing up to 0.6%. Our products, with a THC content below 0.2%, are well within this limit and fully compliant. This high threshold has fostered a thriving market, particularly for low-THC cannabis flower, often referred to as "cannabis light."
Regulatory Environment
The legal landscape in Italy has been turbulent. While the law permits hemp cultivation with a THC content of up to 0.6%, the sale of "cannabis light" for smoking has been a point of contention. The Court of Cassation has ruled that selling cannabis derivatives for recreational purposes is illegal, but it did not explicitly ban the sale of low-THC flowers. This has led to a legal grey area where products are often sold as "collector's items" to avoid legal issues.
Key Takeaways for Italy

- "Cannabis light" is popular but exists in a legal grey area.
