CBD Legislation in Denmark 2025
In Denmark, CBD products are legal as long as they come from EU-approved industrial hemp and contain less than 0.2% THC. This particularly applies to CBD flowers and CBD hash, which are sold as decorative collectibles or for technical use – not for consumption.
CBD oil and capsules must not be marketed as dietary supplements or food in Denmark. This is because the EU Commission has classified CBD as a novel food, which requires separate approval. Therefore, they are currently only sold as technical products.
EU Rules on CBD and THC
Throughout the EU, the same THC limit applies: products must come from certified hemp varieties and have a THC content of less than 0.2%. However, several EU countries have their own specific rules. For example:
- Germany: Allows CBD flowers as collectibles, but not for smoking or consumption.
- France: Allows CBD products but requires THC = 0.0% in finished goods.
- Italy: Previously had a higher limit but now follows 0.2% like the rest of the EU.
CBD vs. THCA – What is the Difference?
While CBD is known as a non-psychoactive substance, THCA is the precursor to THC. THCA products can be legal if they are analyzed and documented to contain less than 0.2% THC. At CBDshoppen™, we always publish laboratory reports (COA) for full transparency.
How to Buy CBD Legally?
To safely purchase CBD in Denmark and the EU, you should always:
- Buy from a webshop that shows batch-specific analyses
- Ensure that the products are labeled as collectibles or technical goods
- Avoid providers that market CBD as dietary supplements
Conclusion: Yes, CBD is legal in Denmark and the EU if sold correctly as a decorative/technical product and complies with the THC limit. CBD oil and capsules remain subject to novel food regulations and are not legal as food.
