Are the police entitled to seize the CBD I possess?
Police officers are indeed entitled to seize your CBD products during a check if they suspect the presence of narcotics. Although CBD legality is confirmed in France for authorized products with a THC level below 0.3%, the visual and olfactory resemblance to illegal cannabis can lead to the product being held for analysis. Within this framework, regulation allows authorities to verify the conformity of the goods to rule out any trafficking.
To limit the risks of permanent seizure or penalties, it is crucial to keep your products in their original sealed packaging and have an invoice proving the purchase of legal France CBD. In the absence of immediate proof, the law allows officers to take the product for laboratory testing. Finally, remember that sales are subject to a legal age of 18 and that following transport rules is essential to demonstrate your good faith during a verification in a public space.
