The Philippines places low-THC CBD products in Schedule 4

DDB Board Regulation No. 3, s. 2020 placed CBD products containing no more than 0.1% THC in Schedule 4 of the Philippine drug schedule. The board said medical marijuana remained illegal and that access still required a specialist prescription and an FDA compassionate permit; the regulation did not create a consumer-CBD market.[1][2]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Philippines here.
