CBD has recently been a huge success in France. This molecule has sparked much debate and fascinates both legislators seeking to regulate its marketing and users, who are increasingly numerous. CBD is often associated with another molecule, THC, which creates regrettable confusion. It is important to remember that THC is completely banned in France due to its psychotropic effects, while CBD, short for "Cannabidiol", comes from hemp or cannabis. Unlike THC, CBD has no psychotropic or addictive effects.
In this guide, we’ll explore the origins of CBD, the benefits of using it, and the best ways to consume it. You’ll find tips for both beginners and more experienced users. These tips will help you have the best possible experience with CBD.
CBD: a 100% natural origin
First of all, it is important to clarify that CBD is entirely derived from plants, mainly hemp or cannabis. These plants contain more than 400 chemicals, the best known and most controversial of which are THC and CBD.
As mentioned above, THC is prohibited in all its forms in France. On our Vapopart website, you will only find CBD products with a THC level below the European legal limit, i.e. 0.3%. Our manufacturers, French leaders in CBD, guarantee this compliance. All our CBD-based products, such as CBD e-liquids, CBD vaporizers or CBD oil, have been carefully extracted to completely eliminate THC. This means you can enjoy the benefits of CBD without any risk of positive results during a saliva test, for example.
