Cannabis Light is the latest cannabis hype coming out of Europe, where several countries have loopholes allowing the growth and sale of cannabis containing low THC (usually less than 1%) and high CBD<\/a> levels. It\u2019s already big business.<\/em><\/p>\n T<\/span>he loopholes were only discovered a couple years ago. Switzerland was the first country in 2016 to decriminalize cannabis with less than 1% THC as a tobacco substitute<\/a>.<\/p>\n Italy would follow quickly when a law regulating hemp production went into effect. Originally designed for industrial hemp<\/a>, the Italian government however, forgot to regulate the hemp flowers<\/a>.<\/p>\n The difference between Switzerland and Italy mainly being Cannabis Light is regulated as tobacco in Switzerland, while in Italy Cannabis Light cannot be \u2018smoked or eaten\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n To really understand the green wave Cannabis Light is producing, we went on a road trip to Cannabis Light farms in Switzerland<\/a> and Italy<\/a>.<\/p>\n As you can see, it looks very much like the images you are used to seeing from the Green Triangle in California<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cannabis Light can also be found in several other European countries, including Germany<\/a>, Austria<\/a>, Luxembourg, Spain<\/a>, and France<\/a>. But, as this article points out<\/a>, it doesn\u2019t always work out well. Several Cannabis Light coffeeshops opened in Paris, but were quickly shut down and under investigation by the French government.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Canadian cannabis companies<\/a> are already investing in Cannabis Light farms<\/a> in Italy.<\/p>\n And there\u2019s European CBD regulation on the rise<\/a>, which could make the lives of these Cannabis Light farmers a lot more difficult. If the proposed language becomes law, CBD will be regulated by pharmaceutical standards as shown in our report on CBD in the European Union<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n All this is happening while the WHO is advising the UN to adopt cannabis rescheduling recommendations<\/a>.<\/p>\n For our next report we continue to follow policy developments, as we\u2019ll be heading to Vienna (Austria) to attend the the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs<\/a> (from 5-7 December) and the International Cannabis Policy Conference<\/a> in the United Nations quarter of Vienna, from 7th to 9th December 2018.<\/p>\n Produced in cooperation with\u00a0Clara Sativa<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Cannabis Light: High CBD, Low THC.
