Hong Kong: Hong Kong Moves to Amend Legislation to Include CBD as a Dangerous Drug

In the past, the eligibility of food and non-food products containing cannabidiol (CBD) in the Hong Kong market has been ambiguous. The Hong Kong government now is prepared to remove this ambiguity by moving forward with a legislative amendment to control CBD under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance. In addition, as Hong Kong maintains a zero-tolerance policy for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the government has pledged that, it will continue to test CBD products in the market and seize products found to contain THC.
