The health minister took cannabidiol (CBD) out of the medicine schedules for 12 months, under conditions, so that low-dose CBD products could be sold without a prescription. In May 2020 the rule was made permanent: a product with no more than 600 mg of CBD per pack, a daily dose of up to 20 mg and only a low-risk health claim is a complementary medicine. Stronger CBD stays a prescription medicine.[1]
