Cannabis is a genus of flowering plants, among which Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica are the most well-known. These plant species have been cultivated and used for thousands of years for various purposes. Cannabis contains a wide range of chemical compounds such as cannabinoids, which interact with the body's endocannabinoid system. This endocannabinoid system is a complex network of neurotransmitters, receptors, and enzymes involved in various physiological processes of the body. It plays an important role in regulating functions such as mood, sleep, appetite, memory, immune response, and pain perception.

The term "marijuana" typically refers to the dried flowers, leaves, stems, and seeds of the cannabis plant. These parts of the plant contain different concentrations of cannabinoids, including THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). THC is the psychoactive compound responsible for the "high" effect associated with marijuana use. In many countries and states, marijuana is classified as a controlled substance due to its psychoactive properties. Our products do not contain THC, meaning they do not cause any psychoactive effects when used.

CBD or cannabidiol is one of the many cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive, meaning it does not cause a "high" sensation. CBD has become increasingly popular in recent years for its therapeutic properties in relieving muscle or joint pain and for its emotional support properties. Cannabidiol is typically extracted from hemp plants of the Cannabis sativa variety. This variety naturally has a lower THC content (less than 0.3%) and a higher CBD content.

Our oils contain less than 0.05% THC. Each batch is rigorously tested by an external, certified laboratory.

In Belgium, CBD (cannabidiol) derived from industrial hemp is permitted under specific conditions. CBD products may only be sold as cosmetics, aromatic oils, or technical products — not as dietary supplements or medicines unless explicitly approved.

The internal use of CBD oil is not officially tolerated in Belgium. As a seller, we are therefore not allowed to make any claims regarding internal use or therapeutic benefits.

CBD regulations vary significantly between countries. Here's a brief overview of the legal status in some European nations:

Netherlands: THC < 0.05%
Germany: THC < 0.2%, allowed as dietary supplement
France: Only with 0.0% THC
Luxembourg: Permitted under strict conditions
Switzerland: Freely allowed if THC < 1%
Austria: Sale permitted, use not officially recognised
Spain: External use only
Italy Complex situation, depends on the region
United Kingdom: Allowed as Novel Food, subject to approval
