Controlling CBD in Canada

One of the most commonly known plants is cannabis sativa; this is because it’s well known to contain over 100 different chemicals. This has seen it being used for medicinal purposes while others abuse it. cannabidial or CBD as it is commonly known is  one of those chemicals produced by the plant Here in Canada, use of CBD is regulated by the Government in order to curb its misuse. CBD does not intoxicate like THC as it is not psychoactive. A survey was done in 2017 in order to helping determining how much and how often cannabidial Canada uses.

In Canada CBD is legal and has been used in treating various medical conditions like heart conditions. As a result, all CBD products are subjected to rules and regulations under the cannabis act. Whether it’s for medicinal purposes or pet CBD Canada is keen on regulating its use. What this means is that it is illegal to sell, use, produce or import cannabidial in Canada without authorization from the government. 

Cultivation of cannabis for purposes of production of cannabidial Canada requires you to apply for a federal license under the cannabis act. If after harvesting you plan on producing, you’ll also need a production license to do so. For the production of prescription, note you must get approval of the product also under food & drugs regulations.

Most produced CBD is used for medicinal purposes or as pet CBD like CBD oils for dogs. For pet CBD Canada veterinary Medical Association doesn’t endorse its use but people use it anyway. Their reason is that the products might be unsafe to animals. This is a valid concern as amount of CBD receptors in human may not be the same in animals. These concerns have led to so few researches and apparently CBD have been found to have some positive effects in animals. Today, we still don’t have any legal CBD product in the market here in Canada.

With cannabis act being in place in order to control misuse of Canabidiol Canada like many countries has recorded increase in illegal use of the product. This shows there’s still more that needs to be done in controlling its use. With scientific researches still going on, there is hope one day to find cure for terminal diseases as in treating conditions like insomnia, Parkinson’s disease as well as slowing down of cancerous tissues in the body.
