CBD in pharmacy

Can you find CBD in pharmacies?

Since the relaxation of the legislation, CBD oil retailers have multiplied. Specialty stores, tobacconists, organic stores, pharmacies, online stores... the different points of sale are now numerous. However, it is necessary to sort through and do your research before purchasing CBD oil.

The ideal solution, of course, is to be able to buy from a physical pharmacy or an online pharmacy. This ensures the quality and origin of the product and allows you to receive reliable information from a healthcare professional.

French pharmacies are authorized to sell cannabidiol-based products. You can definitely visit your regular pharmacist and ask for CBD oils, capsules, or herbal teas.

However, this authorization is subject to compliance with a certain number of rules:

  • To offer CBD in pharmacies, the establishment must have received a state license. Obtaining this license requires proving the legality of the business. (This only applies to brick-and-mortar pharmacies, as discussed below.)
  • Cannabidiol products sold in pharmacies must comply with government guidelines: the hemp plants used in manufacturing must have a THC content of less than 0.2%, their cultivation must be authorized, and the products must be made solely from fibers and seeds.
  • Retailers are prohibited from promoting the possible medical or therapeutic properties of CBD products.
  • As a healthcare professional, pharmacists must fully play their role in advising customers and adhere to a code of ethics. Consequently, it is their responsibility to offer their customers high-quality, legally compliant CBD products and to provide recommendations regarding their use (dosage, maximum doses, etc.).

Under these conditions, pharmacies are entitled to sell CBD oils, ointments, crystals, and other products. This is also the case in some of our European neighbors: in Belgium, for example, cannabidiol has been available over-the-counter in pharmacies since February 2020. The problem is that it's not always easy to find these products, as not all pharmacies carry them.
