Debate 🇭🇰 Hong Kong

Hong Kong warns CBD sellers against even trace THC

The government told CBD sellers that products must contain no THC, which was controlled regardless of concentration.[1] CBD itself was still outside dangerous-drug controls, but importers and traders were responsible for the ingredients they supplied. The warning preceded the decision to bring CBD itself under those controls in February 2023.[1][2]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Hong Kong here.
