Hong Kong SAR — CBD Restricted Since 2023 — Caution Advised
Since February 2023, CBD has been classified as a dangerous drug in Hong Kong under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance. Most CBD products are now illegal. Only purchase from retailers that can confirm compliance with current Hong Kong law. Verify the legal status of any product independently before buying.
Hong Kong previously had a small but established CBD retail sector, but the landscape changed dramatically in February 2023 when Hong Kong classified CBD as a dangerous drug under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance. This effectively made most CBD products illegal to possess or sell in Hong Kong. Some wellness retailers continue to operate, carrying only products that remain compliant with the revised regulations. Visitors and residents should exercise significant caution, verify current law before purchasing any product, and consult a legal professional if uncertain.
