Aruba withdraws the CBD exemption for supplements and other products

Aruba withdrew the rule that exempted specified low-THC CBD products, including supplements, foods and external-use preparations, from medicinal classification.[1][2] Health minister Dangui Oduber said the December rule did not fully match the intended CBD policy.[1] The health inspectorate’s current guidance treats CBD products with no more than 0.2% THC as medicines requiring permission for commercial import, storage and distribution.[3]
