CBD Legality and Delivery in Europe
CBD made from certified EU hemp, with a THC content below 0.3%, is sold across Europe as a wellness product. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a molecule extracted from hemp that, unlike THC, has no intoxicating effect. This guide explains the European legal framework, what to check before buying, and how your order is delivered quickly and discreetly.

CBD and the European legal framework (THC < 0.3%)
CBD is produced from hemp varieties listed in the European catalogue and is subject to a very low THC threshold. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the psychoactive compound classified as a narcotic; CBD does not fall into that category.
A major milestone was the "Kanavape" ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in 2020: a member state may not ban the sale of CBD lawfully produced in another EU country, as long as it is not shown to have an intoxicating effect. The ruling confirmed the free movement of CBD within the EU single market.
Beyond this common framework, national rules and enforcement can vary from one member state to another (for example, some countries apply Novel Food rules to ingestible CBD, or restrict certain product types). As the law evolves, rely on official sources for your country. Golden CBD only offers products that comply with the European framework (THC < 0.3%).
