CBD, or cannabidiol, is generating increasing interest in France. But what exactly is it? Is it legal? What is it used for?
In this article, Herbeevor explains the origins of CBD, its natural benefits, its differences from traditional cannabis, and how to use it legally on a daily basis.
In recent years, CBD (cannabidiol) has made a remarkable entrance into the wellness market in France.
But what exactly is CBD? Is it legal? Does it get you high? Is it effective?
At Herbeevor, we explain everything to you, simply and without taboos.
CBD (cannabidiol) is a molecule naturally present in the hemp plant ( Cannabis sativa ).
Unlike THC , another famous compound in cannabis, CBD is not psychoactive :
👉 it does not cause euphoria , addiction or a "high" effect .
It is now recognized for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and relaxing properties , without notable side effects for the majority of users.
The word “cannabis” often causes fear, as it is associated with recreational cannabis containing THC (illegal in France).
However, CBD comes from another variety of hemp , grown legally and rigorously controlled.
The key difference :
Recreational cannabis contains THC → illegal, psychoactive
CBD is extracted from authorized varieties with a THC level ≤ 0.3% → legal in France
Yes, CBD has been legal in France since the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in 2020, which was confirmed by French law.
Conditions to be met:
The product must contain less than 0.3% THC
It must come from authorized hemp varieties
The products must be processed outside of raw flowers (with the exception of flowers which are now authorized within a strict framework)
At Herbeevor, all our products comply with French regulations and are laboratory tested .
CBD is used to naturally address everyday issues:
| Common use | Desired effect |
|---|---|
| Stress, anxiety | Relaxation, mental calm |

| Painful periods | Targeted relaxation and relief |

🎯 CBD is not a medicine , but a natural wellness supplement , without addiction or known major side effects.
There are several ways to consume CBD, depending on your needs and preferences:
Sublingual oil (most effective)
Flowers & resins to infuse or vaporize
