As CBD continues to grow in popularity, many UK residents still ask: Is CBD legal in 2025? Let’s break it down clearly.
✅ The Short Answer
Yes — CBD is legal in the UK, but it must meet strict criteria:
-
Contain less than 1mg of THC per product
-
Be marketed as a food supplement, not a medicine
-
Be FSA-registered if sold as a consumable
⚖️ Key Legal Requirements
-
Lab-tested products with a certificate of analysis (COA)
-
No medical claims unless MHRA-approved
-
Must be from an approved hemp strain
🚨 What to Avoid
-
Unlabelled or unverified products
-
Anything advertising “healing” or “curing” effects
-
High-THC oils sold under the table
Always buy from trusted, transparent CBD brands to stay compliant.
