Hong Kong’s authorities have proposed banning CBD products after finding that a third of them sold in the city contained traces of "an illegal active ingredient in marijuana," reported local media.
Legislators said on Tuesday that they back the government's plan to ban CBD products, under which their manufacture, import, export, sale and possession would be illegal. Officials say that even though CBD is not considered to be psychoactive, it is difficult to extract without THC –a banned substance in Hong Kong.
