FRENCH authorities have implemented a new ‘temporary framework’ for CBD allowing it to be registered and sold as a food supplement for the first time.
According to the proponents of the new framework, this development will significantly expand opportunities for CBD businesses in the country, opening the door for products to be sold with confidence by France’s largest retailers and pharmacies.
However, others have suggested this presents the latest assault on full-spectrum CBD and hemp in France, and represents an effort to not only push the industry towards one dominated by isolate CBD, but to one centred around an agro-industry focused solely on profits.
