About CBD Point Medina
CBD Point Medina takes its name from Dakar’s Medina quarter, one of the city’s most vibrant and historically significant neighbourhoods. Medina was established in the colonial era as a residential area for the African population of Dakar and has developed into a densely populated, culturally rich district known for its mosques, markets, and strong community identity. Despite the name, this natural health point deals exclusively in legal herbal and hemp wellness items, not in CBD or cannabis products.
The store occupies a position in the local health market, offering natural remedies that draw on Senegalese botanical traditions. West African herbal medicine has a rich tradition including the use of plants such as kinkeliba, baobab, and moringa, which are all legally sold and widely used. The store’s range also includes legal imported wellness products.
Visitors exploring the Medina neighbourhood — often on the way to the Grand Mosque or Sandaga Market — may find this a convenient stop for legally available natural health items during their stay in Dakar.
Legal Hemp & CBD Options
Herbal teas, plant extracts, and food supplements based on legal African botanicals are the core range. Hemp seed products may be stocked as food items. Topical products with hemp or plant extracts may be available as cosmetics. True CBD products in the therapeutic sense are not legally established in Senegal’s retail market. No psychoactive products of any kind are available.
Getting There
Medina is located just north and west of the Plateau, and is easily reachable on foot or by short taxi ride from the city centre. The neighbourhood is well served by Dakar bus routes. Sandaga Market on the border of Plateau and Medina is a useful landmark. The area is best explored on foot given the density of traffic and the narrow streets in parts of the neighbourhood.
