The same law banned sellingprohibits retail sale, distribution, purchase and use by consumers of dried hemp flower to consumers, and aeven at 0.3% THC or less; an industrial-processing exception remains.

+Read Law 5302/2026 article 43(2), reproduced by Taxheaven, lines naming purchase
+and use by consumers and the industrial-processing exception. The AADE landing
+page itself did not expose the statute text. Profile now names consumer activities,
+keeps dried flower (≤0.3% THC) distinct from food/cosmetics and prescribed medicines,
+and preserves the industrial exception. Existing May 2026 history already described
+buying/using correctly; clarified its title. No unverified criminal tariff inferred.
+No score change: ordinary non-medical consumption remains unlawful in its existing band.
