What is the difference between French and European legislation?

The major difference lies in the fact that the European Union sets a general framework for legality, while France defines its specific national application procedures. At the European level, regulation allows for the free movement of CBD derived from hemp varieties with a THC content below 0.3%. However, each member country retains the right to issue specific restrictions to protect public health, thereby creating legal nuances from one State to another.

While Europe authorizes the plant in its entirety, French legislation was more restrictive for a long time before gradually aligning with European court rulings. Today, a legal EU CBD product must strictly respect this THC threshold, but French law remains particularly vigilant regarding the total absence of narcotic properties in marketed finished products. It is therefore crucial to verify local compliance before purchasing or transporting goods.
