In the United Kingdom, CBD products derived from industrial hemp with less than 0.2% THC are fully legal to buy, sell and possess. The UK Food Standards Agency regulates CBD as a novel food, and compliant CBD products can be sold legally across England, Scotland and Wales.
Recreational cannabis (THC) remains a Class B controlled substance in the UK. Possession carries a penalty of up to 5 years in prison, an unlimited fine, or both. Supply and production carry penalties of up to 14 years. The legal market in the UK is limited to medical cannabis prescribed by licensed physicians, introduced in 2018.
All products stocked by Highland Hemp Leith comply with UK law. CBD products are tested by independent laboratories to confirm THC levels below the legal limit.
