Why buy Swiss CBD?

There are more and more stores that sell CBD also called "legal cannabis " in Switzerland. Many e-commerce sites specialized in the online sale of CBD have also appeared. How to find your way around, especially with regard to products "made in Switzerland"? Why is Swiss CBD unique in terms of quality? What are the differences compared to other European products? We explain everything on this subject.

What is CBD?

First of all, you need to know that hemp (Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica or Cannabis ruderalis) contains over 120 active substances specific to it: cannabinoids. The main cannabinoid is THC (Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), responsible for the psychotropic effect of cannabis. Cannabidiol (CBD) is another cannabinoid. Unlike THC, it is not intoxicating and has no psychotropic effect.

CBD interacts with different receptors and reduces the effect of THC. The amount and proportion of the different cannabinoids in the plant is primarily explained by genetics. By cultivating and crossing genetically different species, it is possible to create new proportions.

As the CBD content is not regulated, it is always the THC content that is decisive. The latter is not detectable with the naked eye. Since 1 July 2011, cannabis with a THC content of less than 1% is no longer subject to the Narcotics Law in Switzerland; since 2016, products containing cannabis with a low THC content are therefore available in Switzerland.

In summary: unlike THC, CBD products with an average THC content of less than 1% are not subject to the Narcotics Law: their sale and consumption are legal in Switzerland.

You can find more information on this subject on the website of the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH): https: //www.bag.admin.ch/bag/fr/home/gesund-leben/sucht-und- gesundheit/cannabis.html#dokumente__content_bag_en_home_gesund-leben_sucht-und- gesundheit_cannabis_jcr_content_par_tabs

"Of the low THC products, it is mainly those with a high CBD content that are gaining in importance. Supply and demand are increasing rapidly. Discussions are currently focusing on the possible therapeutic properties of CBD (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, antiemetic, anxiolytic or antipsychotic). Its medicinal effect has not yet been sufficiently proven by research. There is also research into whether cannabis with high CBD content and less than 1% THC can be used to reduce risk or treat problematic cannabis use.

CBD Switzerland: a local, artisanal and mainly organic production

Swiss producers cultivate CBD cannabis, especially in the Valais, under controlled conditions indoors, in greenhouses or in outdoor fields, often in a fully organic way.

Swiss CBD products are of high quality. Surprisingly tasty, the cannabis plants are selected and nurtured in an artisanal way with organic fertilizer, free from pesticides and insecticides.

The main advantage of buying Swiss CBD is therefore the quality of the product. Indeed, the Swiss rigour and method have enabled the rapid development of an entire specialised agriculture. Well-established and supported by innovative infrastructures, considerable resources are used to guarantee compliance with Swiss standards. This made it possible to launch CBD production on a large scale and to offer the best possible quality.

As the Swiss Farmers' Union (SFU) explains, significant work has been done to promote local hemp cultivation, either for therapeutic purposes as some medicines are allowed, or for cosmetic purposes.

Hemp has been cultivated for centuries in Europe. Its use in Switzerland as a textile, food and medicinal plant has a long tradition. After a period of neglect, the cultivation of hemp is now booming in Swiss agriculture. The area under hemp has increased tenfold in less than ten years. This increase is mainly due to the growing demand for CBD hemp products.

Why buy CBD "made in Switzerland"?

When buying CBD products, the greatest vigilance is required. Some companies do not hesitate to present their products in a way that leads the customer to believe that they come from plants grown in Switzerland. This is not always the case. Sometimes these companies source their raw materials from outside Switzerland.

So as a consumer, how can you be sure of a product's origin? Swiss products have the controlled designation "Swiss Made" or "Made in Switzerland", and their extracts must be produced in Swiss laboratories. If in doubt, simply contact customer service and ask for the place of production and the laboratory where the raw materials are extracted and processed.

CBD Switzerland: what are the advantages of buying CBD?

CBD production

As explained, CBD or "legal cannabis" has relaxing effects. It is marketed as a raw material (dried hemp flowers or powder), as extracts processed into oils, and as cosmetics.

CBD is an excellent relaxant

Not only does CBD have no psychoactive effects, it even reduces the psychotropic properties of THC, particularly those related to well-being.

It is therefore an excellent relaxant.

Can CBD help?

Please note that it is currently forbidden to communicate about the properties of low-THC CBD. Research is ongoing.

Consult your doctor to find out more about Cannabidiol and the possible effects of CBD on your body. If you are undergoing medical treatment, you should also seek the advice of a doctor before consuming any product.

Conclusion

In conclusion, there are significant differences between CBD cannabis grown and processed locally in Switzerland and other hemp plants produced outside the Swiss Confederation, not least because of differing legislation on permissible THC content. This situation has enabled the development of a regulated and controlled legal cannabis industry in Switzerland, which is a guarantee of quality for consumers. It enables us to offer high-quality CBD products with particularly interesting effects. It is therefore advisable to select CBD brands offering products made exclusively from locally-grown plants. Finally, it's important to distinguish between cannabis-based medicines and low-THC CBD products, for which research is ongoing.
