University of Liège — analysis of 213 CBD samples sold in Belgian shops (total THC above 0.2% is a narcotic) 11 unchanged

context › recreational › text

There is no legal way to buy cannabis. Adults buy from dealers and use in private: up to 3 g for personal use normally brings only a simplified police report and the lowest prosecution priority, but fines and charges remain possible.[@justice] Use in public or near minors loses that protection and leads to prosecution.[@dpf,wiki] Social clubs that pooled members' one-plant allowances were prosecuted and convicted.[@wiki,cms]

context › hemp › text

Hemp is grown under EU farm rules.[@cms] CBD products with no more than 0.2% THC are sold openly in shops, but analyses of seized Belgian CBD samples treat anything above 0.2% total THC as a narcotic; edibles and health claims sit outside the authorised categories.[@uliege]
